Answers
to Frequently Asked
Questions
SHOULD I COVER MY AIR
CONDITIONER IN WINTER?
It is fine to cover your air
conditioner in winter.
However, covers can be
costly. A simple piece of
plywood to cover the fan
section on top with two or
three bricks to hold it down
is sufficient. You don’t
need to cover the sides.
DOES A HIGH EFFICIENCY
FURNACE NEED INSPECTED EACH
YEAR?
Yes, a qualified technician
should check a high
efficiency furnace for
proper operation. Because it
is high efficiency doesn’t
mean it needs no
maintenance.
HOW MANY TIMES A YEAR DO I
CLEAN OR CHANGE MY FURNACE
FILTER OR ELECTRONIC AIR
CLEANER?
Time is not relevant.
Everyone’s home is
different. If your home has
high traffic or pets, your
filtration system should be
checked once a month.
DOES A HIGH EFFICIENCY
FURNACE SAVE MONEY?
Yes. A high efficiency
furnace can save 40% in
energy bills compared to a
20-year-old furnace. A high
efficiency furnace can pay
for itself in a couple years
over gas or oil consumption.
