Frequently asked questions
You should change your standard throw- away filter in your furnace every 4 - 5 weeks. Make sure to inspect your filter periodically and don't let it become "clogged."This can restrict air flow and/or cause damage to the unit.
A standard furnace filter captures about 5 - 10% of particles that are flowing through your system. An upgraded air filtration system with a pleated media filter will remove up to 95% of airborne particles.An electronic air filtration system will remove up to 99% of airborne particles. By upgrading the filter, systems run more efficiently because the coils stay cleaner.
The "auto" setting is used to control the fan by the temperature in the room (it will only run when the system runs to cool or heat the room). The "on" setting is used to keep a continuous flow of air. If you have an air cleaner, the fan should be set to “on” since the air cleaner only works when air is circulating through the furnace. (The "on" setting does not mean that the system is constantly running in heat or cool mode.)
Proper maintenance is key. Maintenance and service play a key role in the life-cycle of a heating or air conditioning system. If all recommended maintenance and service actions are taken, an air conditioner and a gas furnace can last 20 to 25 years.
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The higher the number the greater the efficiency.SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This is the standard air conditioning efficiency measurement established by the Department of Energy. The higher the SEER number or rating, the more energy efficient the unit is—which means lower operating cost. The lowest SEER allowed to be manufactured as of January, 2006 is 13 SEER.
AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. This standard established by the government tells you how efficiently your furnace converts fuel (gas, propane, oil) to heat. If your furnace has an AFUE of 80% it means that 80% of the fuel is used to heat your home, while 20% is wasted. The minimum rating today is 78%. Furnaces with a rating of 90% are considered "high efficiency."
