Today is Monday and the town here is still quite empty as a lot of the vacationers have left for the winter season.
It will be February in two more days and that means there will be another three months of quiet before the town turns around and starts to get crowded again. A lot of the stores in town are closed for the winter season and won’t open again until the middle or end of April. So while we are in winter still we will touch on the importance of keeping your heating system working well. HEPA filters are a crucial component of any heating system, providing high-efficiency air filtration to help maintain clean and healthy indoor air quality. When it comes to furnaces, a HEPA filter can be especially beneficial, especially for homeowners with allergies or respiratory sensitivities. A HEPA filter works by trapping particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens. This helps to purify the air, reducing the amount of these harmful particles that circulate in the home. When it comes to installing a HEPA filter in a furnace, it’s important to choose the right size and type of filter to ensure that it works effectively. The filter should be installed in the return air duct, where it can trap particles before they enter the furnace and are circulated throughout the home. Regular maintenance of the HEPA filter is crucial to ensure its longevity and effectiveness. Homeowners should plan to change their HEPA filter every 6-12 months, or as recommended by the manufacturer, to maintain optimal performance.
