How often should I check my air filters?

It’s best practice to check your filters monthly.

Your heating and air conditioning systems work extremely hard to perform their functions. With the constant stopping and starting that happens throughout the day, the system can wear down quickly if not properly taken care of. By getting your systems serviced regularly you can maximize its life-cycle, as well as guard against many of the unexpected failures. Preventive maintenance inspections performed on a regular basis can uncover leaks, rust, rot, soot, frayed wires and corroded electrical contacts.

“We have been a customer since 1982. Dugger Brothers installed a new Heat pump/A/C unit in our first home we built and provided excellent maintenance and warranty for over 20 years. This unit had one minor issue after 10 years which was repaired at a minimal cost. Our next home was contractor built and the Heat pump/ A/C unit he installed had problems.
