The last thing on my mind is changing air filters
Life gets hectic sometimes.
- Okay, actually all the time.
As a result, there are things that simply slipped my mind. I forget to make doctor appointments. I forget to make dental appointments. I forgot to pay a bill if it’s not auto pay. Heck, I even forget to turn the heat off on the stove when the pot is brought to a boil. With all of the things that I need to juggle in my mind, Changing my HVAC air filters tends to be one of the last things on my radar. Recently, I went a very long time without changing it simply because it slipped my mind. This went on for so long that it affected my HVAC system to the point where I wasn’t even getting cool air anymore. I noticed it one Saturday when I was finally getting an opportunity to relax in the living room. I realized I didn’t feel very much cold air coming from the vents. At first, I panicked and thought that it might be a serious problem with the HVAC system. Then, I remembered that it had been five whole months since I changed the air filter. At that moment, I sneezed. I have three dogs and they all shed, so that definitely doesn’t help things. When I pulled out the dirty air filter, it was atrocious. No wonder no clean, cool, fresh air was getting through. I sighed, grabbed my keys and headed to the store . It was time to buy new filters. Normally, I sit the aIr filters somewhere in my house to remind me that they’re needed, but I completely forgot to buy new ones after the last one was used.
