Any tips for replacing a furnace filter? Just moved from the dorms to my own apartment and was told by my landlord to replace it every month.
I’m a bit nervous about it, I’ve watched some tiktoks on it but I don’t want to break anything.
Is this something I should call someone for?
>>

dude seriously if you cant change a fucking filter without calling someone, turn in your man card and move back into the dorms and continue to be a waste of space.
>>
>>2886532
why do you tips? you just pull the old one out and slide in the new one, you don't even need to take anything apart
>>
>>2886565
I’ve never done home improvement stuff in my life. Nor /diy/ anything at all. I’m worried about breaking the HVAC or causing an electrical fire or poisoning myself with carbon monoxide.

It feels like a part of my house like I’m not supposed to touch, you know, leave it to the licensed professionals?
>>
>>2886569

paying a HVAC tech to change a simple filter.. you sure are a useless nobody. for reals. you wont make it in life if you cant do things for yourself. your mommy isnt there to wipe your ass for you anymore time to grow up and learn to do basic home maintenance.. even if it is an APARTMENT where some landlord has his cock in your ass every month for rent.
>>
>>2886573
I was born in 2005. None of this stuff was taught in school growing up
>>
>>2886532
you need to be really careful OP
chatgpt says if you fail to properly replace the filter, it can and will cause a fire from the blower motor being overloaded and shorted out
if you don't know what you're doing then you NEED to have a professional take care of it
>>
>>2886576
>None of this stuff was taught in school growing up

LOL what regular school system teaches basic home maintenance? you are really a dumbfuck. you have an entire internet to look up stuff and you cant google how to change an AC filter? you are truly a useless inept piece of shit. your parents must also suck they didnt teach you anything.

>if you fail to properly replace the filter, it can and will cause a fire from the blower motor being overloaded and shorted out

you are a stupid fuck. stop giving advice especially from AI
>>
>>2886586
Do you know where you are? If OP burns his house/building down then insurance will most definitely not cover it, and he'll be on the hook for literally 100's of 1000's of dollars. Think, anon, think.

the main thing is looking at the side of the filter and seeing which way the arrow points for the air flow. make sure filter is same size and air flow goes in right direction like arrow.
>>
>>2886569
dude it's literally, it will take a whole 10 seconds to do, even a child could
>>
>>2886576
So? Take initiative. Learn things. Stop being a fucking loser and just do literally anything. Examine that can opener and figure out how it opens the can.
>>
>>2886621
>can opener
>expensive piece of critical equipment that can have disastrous consequences if fucked up
Your analogy is bad and you should feel bad
>>
>>2886638
>misusing a can opener doesn't have disastrous consequences
he could cut himself open and bleed out you know
>>
>>2886595

your house wont burn down for not changing a fucking AC filter.
>>
>>2886662
Holy shit. Are you for real? This is not about AC, what fucking thread are you even talking about? Are you over 50? You probably shouldn't even be here.
>>
>>2886689

doesnt matter if its a furnace or AC unit. OP is a retard who cant change a filter. and it wont burn your house down. shutup you underage faggot
>>
Pretty sure OP is trolling you dumbasses, nobody is legitimately this retarded while still being able to form complete cohesive sentences.
>>
>>2886706
You do you, but when OP's house goes up in flames and he ends up doing time for killing somebody, your IP address is all over this shit telling him to do it.
>>
>>2886532
>told by landlord to replace it monthly
>don't know how to
Have your landlord -show- you how to then you fucking retard. This is something you should have taken care of during your first day walk around inspection documenting all the pre-existing damages the landlord will inevitably try to kike you out of your deposit for when you move.

>>2886708
>nobody is legitimately this retarded
Oh my sweet, sweet, months late for summer child. (You) are clearly one such example if you believe that.
>>
>>2886722
>You do you, but when OP's house goes up in flames and he ends up doing time for killing somebody, your IP address is all over this shit telling him to do it.

you are a fucking retard. KYS.
>>
>>2886756
You should have read this post >>2886595. That guy's been screwing with you for almost a whole day and you're still responding. Let it go, he's a troll, he's probably OP.
>>
>>2886532
How is the filter supposed to stand up in the vent when you take it out of its cardboard box?
>>
Don't you have a father or boyfriend that can do it for you?
