WOOSH, THERE IT GOES.

Is it possible that summer is over? The kids are back in school (is that a bad thing?) the days are getting shorter, and believe it or not it's time to schedule your seasonal furnace clean and check. Now, we're hoping you don't need to use it for a while, but why wait? Don't get a nasty surprise learning your furnace doesn't work when you turn it on and oops, no heat. Take advantage of our pre-season special and rest easy knowing that when you call for heat, it answers.

Q. When is the best time to buy a new furnace or air conditioner?  A. When somebody helps you pay for it.  This is the last season to take advantage of the Federal Energy Tax Credits on high efficiency equipment.  Why would you wait and pay more next year?

Fall is a good time to check your humidifier.  We'll do it while we're there.  Make sure you have comfortable heat and humidity all winter.

When you change your clocks from Daylight Savings Time, change the batteries in your smoke alarms too.  Keep safe!
