Air Filter Replacement
The most frequent cause of an air conditioning system’s failure to operate correctly is a clogged or dirty air filter. Opting to have a professional from Environmental Comfort Systems replace your filter means the new filter will be the best one for your specific heating and cooling system, and your home. The filter will be installed correctly, and we can recommend if adjustments should be made.
Some adjustments might include changing the filter more often or having your ducts cleaned. Any suggestion made during your air filter replacement will take into account the people and pets in your home and how often your air conditioning system is used.
