Jamar checked the air handler as it was making a strange noise. He said it most likely was doing that because the air filter was very dirty. I changed the filter last night & we could not hear it anymore. While he was here, he checked the system out & all was running ok!
Response from the owner:Louise, thanks for taking the time to share this. I’m glad Jamar was able to pinpoint the likely cause and that changing the filter solved the noise right away. We appreciate you choosing Southern Air, and it’s great to hear everything else checked out and is running well.
