It is amazing the amount of dust I find from one week to the next. Here I am typing away, looking at the dust on the desk I could swear I just cleaned away a couple days ago. I guess it is time to change the furnace filter again. All that dust can't be good for little lungs, or any lungs for that matter.When I went to the hardware store, I was amazed at the variety of furnace filters I found. The prices ranged from $1 to $15. I didn't realize there were so many different ones. Since I knew nothing about filters, wouldn't ya know, I chose the wrong ones! You don't have to choose the wrong ones, because Murray talks about the different furnace filters out there and the benefits of remembering to change our furnace filter more than once a season.
You'll be breathing much easier when you remember to change your filter. Check the filter at least once a month, and maybe more often if you have indoor pets and house plants, and change it if you happen to have a new layer of dust on your TV or computer screen every week. If you are kinda unsure of how to change, clean or replace your furnace filter, eHow has great tips and advise. You'll be a furnace filter changing pro in no time!

Your article was very informative. It's like changing the oil in your car, imperative if you want to ensure it's full potential of life and quality of your indoor air. iaqsource.com is a great online source for good deals on furnace filters and air conditioner filters.
