As always, I'll leave you with little tip:

A dirty air filter is the number one reason for HVAC system failure. A dirty filter restricts the air flow into your HVAC system. This restricted air flow put unnecessary load the fan motor and could, over time, burn the motor out prematurely. 

Filters are cheap and easy to replace...but no standing on roll-away bar stools to reach them, OK!!!

Until next time, and thank you in advance for remembering me when the topic of real estate arises.
