The aftermath of a wrong air filter replacement
I still marvel at how I went about my second air filter replacement.
The first one went perfectly okay because I followed the instructions keenly.
The second time, however, I disregarded the instructions altogether. I was confident in my non-existent skills. I put it backward, and my actions resulted in poor air quality. After a month, I bought a whole-home air purification unit to improve indoor air quality. I could not understand why the air quality had been deteriorating. The HVAC equipment also became noisier, and I had to call for home service from the local HVAC company. When the HVAC technician inspected, she found the mistake that I had made. The error caused several damages to the air purification help in the smart HVAC. My saving grace was that I had a separate air purification system. My mistake also caused a lot of dust to circulate in the ductwork, so it was necessary to have duct cleaning. The HVAC professional showed me step-by-step how to replace a filter. Given the simple procedure, I need help understanding how I could have messed up. The tech also showed me some a/c care and energy-saving tips. If I could have let the issue persist a little longer, the damage to the unit would have been extensive, resulting in expensive repairs. I had learned my lesson the hard way and had vowed to take better care of my heating and cooling system for it to run better and to last longer. I learned to pay attention to simple instructions and always to confirm when uncertain about something.
