2. Wheezing

We all get tired and that includes our furnace. If you begin to hear wheezing from your furnace, it may be due to a dirty air filter. If you can’t remember the last time you changed your air filter, it’s likely due to a dirty filter. Regularly changing your furnace filter every 90 days will keep your furnace running efficiently and improve your indoor air quality. Change out your older filter for a new one and see if that wheezing noise comes to a stop.
