Be sure the filter is completely dry before replacing it in your heating system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To optimize your furnace\u2019s performance, you should clean your system\u2019s filter regularly. Ideally, this means every month\u2014particularly in winter when you use your heating most.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A clean filter is good but a new filter is great!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even if you regularly clean your <a href=\"\/en\/heating\/furnaces\">heating system\u2019s<\/a> filter regularly, you will still have to replace it eventually.
