It's that time of year again! With furnaces running more often, make sure you're checking your air filters regularly.
One thing we see quite often is filters that are actually too restrictive for the furnace. Just because a filter is more expensive or has a higher MERV rating doesn't necessarily mean it's better for your system.
We generally recommend sticking with a MERV 5 pleated filter unless your system is designed to handle something higher. Restrictive filters can reduce airflow, cause your furnace to overheat, and lead to unnecessary service calls or repairs.
A simple filter change can save you a lot of headaches this winter!
