Dirty air filters will cause a loss of
airflow in your duct system. When
excessive loss of airflow occurs,
the furnace may cycle on its safety
controls. If this condition is left
unattended, the furnace will even-

that the furnace air filters be
checked every 3 or 4 weeks and
cleaned or replaced as necessary.
