Thank you so much for this very informative video. I’m gonna change my filters tomorrow and set reminders. I never really understood the importance until now. You’re awesome !!

THANK YOU! You presented complicated information very clearly. I have the same noise issue in my home and truly appreciate this information :). BTW: Your home (in the background) appears cheery, bright and fresh; I imagine the air inside you home follows suit and is NOT *awful* as another commenter mentioned. (Play nice, folks ;)

So 13 minutes, and the take away is replace your filter.

you went weeks without running it?? You're complaining about allergies, but not running the filter? Even if the weather isn't bad, you need to run it. It's not just a cooling or heating machine. It's also an air filtration unit. You use it to FILTER the air. I can't imagine not running it for weeks. Your air must be awful.

Oh come on.... it's a 13-minute video. Couldn't you edit OUT the cleaning and the screws and the faces and the opening of the packages,
