Replace Furnace Filter Have you replaced your furnace filter lately? With the need to turn on the heat just around the corner, now is a great time to replace your furnace filter. Doing so reduces allergens, dust, and dander that is in the air. Furnace filters are available at your local hardware store and should be replaced every 3 months.
