What we did
During a visit in the Danville area, we replaced both air filters in this home's HVAC system. The downstairs filter is a 16 x 20 x 1 and the upstairs filter is a 14 x 14 x 1, so each one got the correct size replacement.
Fresh filters help maintain indoor air quality and keep the system performing the way it should. We also talked with the homeowner about duct cleaning and scheduled a follow-up call in two months to explore that option further.
Homes with filters on more than one floor make it easy for the upstairs one to be overlooked. A clogged filter restricts airflow, makes the system run longer, and lets more dust settle into the rest of the equipment. Kentucky homes deal with pollen in spring, humidity in summer, and closed-up houses in winter, so filters work hard year round. Keeping both filters current is one of the simplest ways to protect comfort and equipment at the same time. The follow-up conversation about duct cleaning gives the homeowner time to think it over before deciding whether it makes sense for their house.
