The only thing I asked my son to do when I was at work was change the air filter in the oil furnace.
When I got home, I asked if he had changed the air filter.
He snorted and told myself and others that no a single was going to change the air filter. He got the compartment open, but the air filter was stuck. He wasn’t cutting the oil furnace trying to change an air filter, there would be more trouble than it was worth, so he thought he would let changing the air filter for his Mom. I didn’t expect my hubby lake house until late, and I couldn’t figure out how strenuous it can be to install an air filter, and my son said he could install the air filter if it came out, but it wouldn’t. He showed myself and others how to open the air filter compartment, and then he said how it should come right out. All I saw was dust and the air filter was actually stuck. After multiple strenuous pulls, the air filter came out, but the compartment was full of dust and dirt. My son got the dust vacuum and cleaned out the compartment, and then he handed myself and others a current air filter. He showed myself and others how to put it in. changing the air filter wasn’t hard, but I couldn’t figure out why it had been so difficult to get out. I looked at the air filter change list when all of us were done, and I knew the answer. My hubby hadn’t changed the air filter in almost more than five weeks, and now I had to call the HVAC company to get the oil furnace cleaned and checked.
