Let\u2019s talk about all the details below.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Importance of Your Heater\u2019s Filter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We like to take a moment to explain the importance of your heater\u2019s filter. Your heater\u2019s filter is different than any type of filter that\u2019s involved with your indoor air quality. Your heater\u2019s filter is in charge of keeping the system clean so that it can perform well. Throughout the season, your heater\u2019s filter will pick up dust, small particles floating around your home, and other debris. This is why it\u2019s important to switch it out at the top of every season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Change\u00a0the Filter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s actually change that filter! Here\u2019s what you need to\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn off your heater.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locate your service panel. Remove the cover.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slide out the existing filter that you have in your furnace.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take your new filter and slide it into this place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn the furnace back on and run it!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process should be pretty simple, but we understand that you might run into issues when you\u2019re working with your heater individually. If you are, then we want you to call our professionals. We can even help you through the process over the phone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Ways to Prepare Your Heater for Winter<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you wondering if there are other ways to get your heater prepared for the winter season? Here are a few.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Out of Your Own Way<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you don\u2019t have furniture sitting in front of any of your vents. If you have a bookshelf, couch, or even a poster in front of one of your vents, you\u2019re not going to be able to get warm with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Lighting to Your Advantage<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a great idea to open up your blinds or curtains to let in light. Even a little light can help you raise the internal temperature of your home by a few degrees. It will help you with keeping warm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make Sure Your Indoor Air Quality Is in Good Shape<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As long as we\u2019re talking about filters, we should discuss air filters. Your indoor air quality is important because it\u2019s going to affect the overall comfort of your home this winter. For example, it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll be able to get warm enough without the right humidity balance.
