What we did
Some service calls are quick, and this was one of them. In May we made a routine maintenance visit to a Richmond home to replace the air filter, a 20x20x1. It is a small job, but it is one that has a real effect on how the whole system runs.
We swapped out the old filter for a new one in the correct size. A filter is the first thing return air passes through, so when it fills up with dust and debris, the blower has to work harder to pull air through it. A clean filter helps the system keep good airflow, which supports efficiency and keeps the home more comfortable. It also helps with the air quality inside the house by catching dust before it circulates from room to room.
In Kentucky, HVAC systems rarely get much of a break. Air conditioning carries the load through humid summers, and the heat takes over once the weather turns cold. Keeping up with filter changes is one of the simplest ways to help the system run smoothly through both seasons. If you are not sure of your filter size or how often to change it, we are glad to help you figure it out.
