The nights are becoming chilly and the leaves are changing colors.
You find yourself reaching for a jacket before heading to work in the morning and Halloween decor is cropping up everywhere.
That's right-fall is here! And closely on the heels of fall comes winter.
Winter means hot cocoa, snow, piling the couch high with blankets, holiday lights, and-but of course, how can you have all of that comfortably without a well-heated home? And what does all the work for you then? Your furnace! Whether your furnace is one year old or 10, annual maintenance is extremely important.
Not only will keeping the furnace maintained properly ensure that it is in good working order, but it could also extend the life of your furnace by several years.
But perhaps most importantly to you right now, a furnace in good working order will properly and thoroughly heat your home in the most efficient manner possible.
That means a warm house for less money! Some aspects of the furnace to keep maintained include the air filter (which should be changed following manufacturer instructions), burners, air ducts and thermostat.
If you feel that you need help maintaining your furnace, or aren't sure what to do, then contact a local furnace maintenance company to do the work for you.
The yellow pages are a good way to find such a company, but with the internet available these days, it may be best to search online so you can find reviews for the company before hiring them.
