HVAC Santa Rosa: Your Dirty Furnace Filter Can Kill You

Watch this video and see the importance of clean filters to your furnace.

We have talked before about the importance of changing your dirty furnace filter. I found a good video that explains exactly what happens in the air flow cycle, the importance of having pleated filters, and how to take care of your home.

Miss Ann’s father, the engineer, almost learned the hard way. I don’t want to find out that one of my customers died because of a clogged air filter. Expert Jim Pearson, Certified Mechanical Hygienist and President & CEO of Mold Inspection Services, Inc. gave a good visual explanation of how the filter in your furnace works, what happens inside the furnace as the filter gets over-filled, and those little headaches that Miss Ann and her family experienced in a previous article.
