To change a furnace filter, first turn off the furnace. Locate the filter, usually near the air intake. Remove the old filter and note the size. Insert the new filter, making sure it's facing the right way. Secure it in place and turn the furnace back on.
Change the filter on your furnace, its location is usually well marked. The numbers on the filter (such as 25X10X1) is the size of filter. Always replace with the same size.
It all depends upon your setup. You need to find where the return duct is connected to your airhandler/furnace. You could have a return filter grill or there is a door/panel on your airhandler/furnace that must be opened to replace the filter.
I furnace was installed when the house was built in the 60's. The furnace has a wire basket, which I have to by the filter, cut to size and replace. My question can I use a regular air filtr for my furnace.
the filter on a central unit is the same as the furnace filter usually located in duct work directly beside furnace
Pull the old one out and put a new one in Easy. Find it.
Is there a flame in the furnace. Precisely where is this air coming from and how strong is it?
At the bottem right hand side facing the furnace you will find a filter. This is one of the commen filters you can buy at Walmarts. The filter is a cardbord sheet with a filter on it. Pull out said filter look at the size printed on it.Go to Walmart and buy another. When you push in said filter be sure the air flow arrow on top edge is pointing toward the furnace.
turn off power to furnace and remove the bottom door to the blower compartment,the filter should be on the right side of the blower housing or it may be directly below the blower housing on the bottom of the furnace depending on how your return duct is run. hope this helps,FYI filters s/b replaced or cleaned every 30 days.
I live on a slab (no basement) my air filter is inserted at the very top of the furnace almost close to the ceiling so should the arrow on my air filter be pointing up to the ceiling or down to the engine of the furnace?
No, unless the airflow is so restricted that the heat builds up and triggers the thermal disc, which will shut down the furnace. The thermal disc is a safety switch that shuts the gas down so the unit will not over heat. About the filter, I change mine at a minimum of three times a year.
