Replace furnace filters every month. Dirty filters make your system work harder & run longer than necessary & encourages buildup of mold & mildew, which can make cleaning more difficult.

Dry loads of clothes back to back to take advantage of heat built up in the dryer. Clean the lint filter after every load. Your dryer will dry more efficiently, requiring less running time.
