5 things to get your furnace ready for winter

The best way to assure your furnace is ready for the heating season is to check and replace filters as necessary, verify the thermostat is set to heat and set above the current temperature in your home, and to verify all the vents are open.  It is highly recommended to test the furnace before it gets too cold to assure if there is an issue you can get a service professional out to get it repaired before it is needed and not an emergency service.

What are the benefits of proactive furnace maintenance

Proactive maintenance plans will help extend the life of the equipment, as well as possibly catching issues before they arise and leave you stranded without heat at a time of need. Maintenance plans will not catch all issues, however, keeping the furnace clean will assist in not having breakdowns.
