Heat or AC not keeping up with Temperature Setpoint

Many times this issues is related to one of two issues. Either the filter is loaded with dust and debris, or the differential between the inside and outside temperatures are extreme. If you have a clean filter and the outside temperature is greater than 20 degrees, the system may struggle to keep up to the thermostat setpoint.

Replace Filter when Dirty, usually 30 days (Purchase MERV 8 or 10 Filters for best results).

1) Turn off the power switch to the furnace

2) Locate the filter (usually between the return air boot and the furnace).

3) Remove the cover and remove the old filter.

4) Replace with a new one (IMPORTANT: air flow arrow on a filter to point in the direction air is traveling (being “sucked” to)).

Check the filter monthly. A good habit is to check the filter each month when making your rent payment. A clean filter will ensure your Furnace/A/C is running smoothly and keep electric costs to a minimum. See this video for Replacement Instructions.

Note, it is the responsibility of the resident to check and change the filter when it becomes loaded with dust and dirt. Failure to properly maintain the filter may be a violation of your lease.
