When you leave a filter in too long, it becomes dirty. The dirt restricts air flow which causes the heater to get too hot. When this happens, the parts become oxidized, which causes the heater to work improperly, and can cause parts to crack or break. This problem can be fixed by simply replacing the filter every 30-60 days. This is much cheaper than a high electric bill or a repair bill. The same problem can be caused by the drive belts becoming loose or broken. If the belts are lose, they can also wear grooves in the pulleys, which will wear out the belts that will be put on in the future, and they will have a considerably shorter life. Belts are considerably cheaper than the cost of replacing the pulley.Looking to hire Heating services in your Dundalk community?
