Mistakes Everyone Makes When Buying Air Filters
By ABBY HAAS
One task homeowners often forget about is maintaining the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system by buying new air filters regularly. Air filters clean the air before it enters your home and come in a variety of sizes and styles, so here’s how to figure out which air filter you need to buy.
