    <description>&lt;P&gt;The quiz titled: Test Your Home Maintenance Knowledge that is by "American Home Shield (Paid Content)" says that changing a furnace filter should be left to "a professional" and evidently is considered a yearly event.&amp;nbsp; PLEASE change your furnace filters monthly or close to monthly if they are the regular, affordable kind (or at least every 3 months if they are the large, expensive kind.)&amp;nbsp; Also, while the super thick ones that say they filter tiny particles,&amp;nbsp; mold and the like are tempting,&amp;nbsp; they are not good for your furnace (they make the blower motor work harder.) Just get a normal one to keep the air going into your motor free of gunk.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
