Replacing your house air filters is no laughing matter. As we have been protecting ourselves from COVID over the past two years, why not also protect yourself in your own home. Having a dirty air filter can cause buildup of hazardous particles such as pet dander, mold, and pollen. In extreme cases this buildup can cause headaches, nausea, and irritated eyes. Protect your family inside your home just as you would protect them from COVID. If you need to have your air filters replaced I can direct you to the best place to get replacements!
