If you have been using a pleated filter for a long time, 2-8 years plus, with no problem, then you are keeping your coil clean so stay with a pleated filter with the same Merv rating. If you have a metal or plastic electrostatic filter that you are washing, then you should change it to a pleated filter. You can never get the electrostatic filter clean enough and they restrict your air flow when they get dirty which will cause your electric bill to increase.
What else can I help you with?
How do you repair improper polarity on a gas furnace?
Well it could be the hot and neutral wire needs to be swapped at the furnace. And if its an older unit that this has just occur on the control board could be faulty.
Is it possible to clean the ac filters instead of replacing it?
Most filters can no longer be cleaned but must be replaced. Older types made of a different material could be washed but not these.
Where is the cabin filter on 97 Dodge Caravan?
The older model Caravans do not have cabin air filters.
Will a 3250 watt generator power older a gas furnace?
A 3250 watt generator has the capacity of I = W/E, 3250/120 = 27 amps. This should be in the range to operate any gas furnace.
Your furnace blows but will not fire up?
Gas furnace have several safeties installed for your protection. If for some reason one of these safeties are not opening or closing the furnace will not fire. Most likely the pressure switch, high limit or transformer may be faulty. If it is an older model check the thermocouple.
Your furnace blows air when the thermostat is off you replaced the thermostat and the wires from the stat to the furnace but the problem still exists The furnace sHow is no error codes any ideas?
If the thermostat is wired correctly, it looks like that was not the problem. Not enough info to go much further than that other than to check the indoor fan relay. On an older model furnace look at the setting of the pointers on the fan/hi temp limit switch, if yours is an older unit with one of these I am betting that is your problem.
Can you get curcumcize at a older age?
Absolutely. Doctors will perform a circumcision at the request of the patient, on men of any age. In older men, it's usually for medical reasons - such as the foreskin is too tight, restricting sensation in the penis.
How do you prevent carbone monoxide from gas furnace?
Proper ventilation, and no leaks in the exhaust. Hopefully your furnace is also drawing outside air to the combustion chamber instead of inside air (the way that older furnaces worked).
Are there number systems when there is no zero?
Yes, older number systems tended not to use the zero. But that makes those number systems rather limited.
What forced air furnace qualifies for tax credit?
It's a matter of efficiency. Many makes have different models that have up to 98% efficiency. Generally, if you're replacing an older furnace ( fifteen years or more) with a new one, it will qualify.
Can you convert a low eficciency gas furnace to a high efficency gas furnace?
While it's not 100% accurate to say that you can convert a low-efficiency furnace to a high-efficiency furnace, there are things you can do to improve the accuracy of your existing furnace. You can approach this in two ways: retrofitting your old furnace with new equipment or taking steps at home to improve your efficiency.Retrofitting Your FurnaceRetrofitting your furnace involves adding new components to your old system. When you are considering retrofitting your existing furnace with new equipment, it's important to consider whether or not the cost of the retrofit will be worth it. This will depend on when you think you're going to replace the furnace (after all, all the retrofits in the world won't extend your furnace life forever). The most common types of retrofits are: Vent dampers - a vent damper prevents the loss of heat from the chimney by closing off the vent when the furnace isn't firing. Installing vent dampers is more common with steam boilers than furnaces.Intermittent ignition devices - many older furnaces have a pilot light that is on constantly. An intermittent ignition device will light the pilot only when necessary, saving you a little in fuel costs.Derating gas burners - while not always allowed by building codes, it is possible to reduce the heating capacity of an oversized furnace system to make it more efficient. This should only be performed by a qualified HVAC technician, as it can be quite complicated.Improving Furnace EfficiencyIf the thought of retrofitting your furnace with upgrades that may not pay off in the long run is a little upsetting, there are steps you can take at home to improve the efficiency of your furnace. Change the filters - this is the easiest way to improve your furnace efficiency. Filters should be replaced monthly to ensure the most efficiency.Lower the blinds at night - drapes and curtains can serve as insulation to keep heat from escaping through the windows. During the day, open the blinds to let heat from the sun shine through.Insulate your ducts - since warm air flows through the ducts into your home, it is important to make sure that heat stays in the ducts instead of seeping through the bowels of your home. This is especially important in places like the garage, which are typically unheated and can seriously compromise the efficiency of your ducts.
Can a down draft furnace be mounted on its side or back?
I'm assuming that by "down draft furnace" you mean a counterflow or downflow furnace. This furnace takes its "cold air return" at the top, and blows the warm air out the bottom (typically, into ductwork that runs under the floor).Older downflow furnaces were dedicated to that configuration, and could not be mounted in other positions.Nowadays, most furnace manufacturers make "multi-poise" furnaces. They can be mounted in downflow, upflow, or side-flow positions, when they are installed according to the manufacturer's certified instructions.The HVAC Veteran
