ELECTRIC FURNACE 

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Do not operate system without a filter. A filter is 
required to protect the coil, blower, and internal parts from 
excessive dirt and dust. 

Inspect air filters at least once a month and replace or clean 
as required. Dirty filters are the most common cause of 
inadequate heating or cooling performance.

Replace disposable filters. Cleanable filters can be cleaned 
by soaking in mild detergent and rinsing with cold water.

Install new/clean filters with the arrows on the side pointing in 
the direction of airflow.

Never replace a cleanable (high velocity) filter with a 
disposable (low velocity) filter unless return air system is 
properly sized for it.
