What Is Furnace Maintenance Anyway?

Furnace maintenance is preventative service for the heating system in your home or business. This service includes a thorough inspection to ensure all components are functioning properly and a tune-up to guarantee maximum efficiency. Most people only worry about their furnace when a problem arises, so the big question is - do I really need furnace maintenance?

Annual Air Conditioner Maintenance, Do I Really Need It?

An Air Conditioning Unit usually lasts between 10-15 years. If that’s the case, then why do I need annual maintenance? Shouldn’t I just keep using it until there is a problem, then I can worry about fixing it? Of course this decision is up to you, but what it really comes down to is these two questions: How important is having a working Air Conditioning unit through the Summer? & Do you want to spend a little bit of money now, or a lot of money later?
