Furnace Repair: How to clean dirty filters?

There is a strong necessity to clean and repair your furnace before winter season starts. This heating system is also engineered to distribute warm and clean air through a system of air ducts. To ensure the air in your home is safe to breathe, it is important to continuously replace the furnace air filter to prevent dirt and debris from infiltrating the air supply. Make sure all parts of the furnace are clean from dirt. If not, check the filter, blower and blower motor.  First, before you begin cleaning your furnace filter you want to give your filter a thorough 5-8 minute vacuuming on the air intake side. Spray down your furnace filter with an all-purpose cleaner. Half the cleaning bottle spray of an all-purpose cleaner should be enough. Let the solution sit with the furnace filter for about 5 minutes before washing it. Rinse it through with a low to medium pressure hose until all the cleaning solution is removed. Flip the furnace over and repeat this process again. Let the filter drain, set it aside and tilt it slightly, maybe against a wall, or you can hold the filter with a slight tilt. Let them drain for 45 minutes or you can tilt one side for 10minutes and then turn it 180 degrees and let it drain on the other side for another 10minutes to drain all the water out. Once the filter is completely drained of water, you can safely place it back into the furnace slots. We recommend delegating blower cleaning to professionals as it is really important to return everything to the exact spot after disassembling. That requires particular skills and experience as it will be effective for the proper functioning of your unit. You should set up a maintenance schedule and conduct it in time. Preventative care, even in small amounts, will help save on expensive repairs or even replacement of your HVAC system.
