Heating Maintenance in Orlando

First, locate the filter compartment on your heating unit – it is usually found near the return air duct or the blower. Before proceeding, turn off the power as a safety precaution. Open the compartment and carefully remove the old filter, noting its size and orientation. Knowing the correct size is crucial when purchasing a replacement filter, as you will need to find a replacement of the same size.

If your heating system uses disposable filters, discard the old filter. If it uses a reusable filter, wash it with warm water. If the filter holds any stubborn grime, use a soft bristle brush and mild dish detergent and scrub the affected areas gently. After that, rinse the filter with water and put it aside to dry.

Next, install the new filter, ensuring it’s facing the right direction (the arrows on the filter’s frame should point toward the unit). Secure the filter in place and close the compartment. Finally, turn the power back on and verify that the unit functions correctly. We recommend changing your heating unit’s filter every 30-90 days, depending on the specific filter type and your household’s needs. Regularly replacing filters will contribute to a more efficient heating system and enhanced indoor air quality.
