We understand that homeowners everywhere are exercising extreme caution when it comes to mitigating the chance of exposure to this virus in their homes. Trust us, we are doing the same in ours. And we promise you that every member of our team will take these same precautions when working in your home and on your property.

They have the information and supplies that they need to do their jobs while protecting both themselves and the clients that they serve.

In order to protect our clients and staff, we will be taking the following precautions.

  • Use of non-latex surgical gloves, shoe covers, face masks, full clean room suits (upon request).
  • We have no touch thermometers at our facilities (your technician’s temp taken by request)
  • Each of our vehicles are stocked with hand sanitizer, our technicians and installers are instructed to wash their hands after each call, and before their next, as well as a follow up of hand sanitizer and gloves worn in your home.
  • All of these items are thrown away after each call and we wear new in every home.

Is It Too Late to Talk about Furnace Maintenance?

technician-inspecting-and-maintaining-gas-furnaceIt may seem strange to talk about furnace maintenance when our heating systems have already gotten their heaviest use for the year over the past several months. And it’s true, the ideal time to schedule this service is in the early Fall, before you need the system the most.

But unless your furnace has completely broken down to the point that you cannot use it at all and repairs would be fruitless, it’s not too late to have your heater maintained. And considering we experience cooler temperatures throughout the year, it’s never a bad idea to have maintenance done if it’s been a year or longer since your last tune-up!

We get that this may seem like a hassle, but trust us when we say that furnace maintenance makes a huge difference in not only your comfort but your energy bills, too. Keep reading for a few of the biggest benefits of scheduling furnace maintenance now.

If you know what signs to watch out for, you can get ahead of these issues before they grow into something much bigger and causes your heater to call it quits for good.

What are these signs?
