I don't like climbing into the attic to replace the a/c filter

I’ve never been a fan of getting into attics in general.

I lived in a house once that had an attic full of spiders, and they weren’t the harmless ones either.

There were actually a lot of brown recluse spiders up there and I would always get scared I would get bit if I went up for any reason. Because of my fear of spiders, I have largely avoided going inside of attics. This also prevents me from using my attic as a storage place as well. If I don’t want to go up into the attic at all to get a box down, it’s not necessarily a good place to keep storage boxes and other items. And my last house, I never had to go in the attic for any reason. In my current house on the other hand, the air handler for the HVAC system is located in the attic. Unfortunately as well, the filter tray for the air handler is also only accessible through the Attic. So that means every time I want to replace my air conditioner filter, I have to climb into the attic and brave my fear of spiders. I don’t know if we have poisonous spiders in our attic, but I still worry about it from time to time. It just really is unfortunate I have to go up there every time to replace the air conditioner filter. I really wish it was easier to replace the air conditioner filter. I wish the filter tray for the air handler was accessible from the ceiling instead of inside the attic.
