Better Heating with a Better Furnace Filter
How often do you change or clean your furnace filters? The answer to that question is very likely “not often enough” if you are like most of us. Like the AC filters a furnace filter should be replaced at regular intervals. Excessively dirty filters will restict the air flow and reduce the efficiency of your furnace. You may also see a small savings in your heating bill which should be more than enough to pay for the filters and then some.
There are many different types of furnace air filters available today. The two main types are throw away and the other are washable. Washable furnace air filters won’t last forever but most people could get several years of use from them with regular cleaning. Then again cleaning these filters is a pain and if it is cold outside it can be quite inconvenient. We feel most people will find using a disposal filter is both easier and quicker and in the long run a better option.
Selecting the correct filter will include looking at the MERV rating.

A little education here will pay off for you and your family, especially if any of you suffer from allergies.
