Good Time to Check Your Furnace

October 18, 2011


I know that we are having a bit of a heat wave, but it is the middle of October and the evenings are becoming cooler. In a very short time, you may want to switch your heating and cooling system from "cool" to "heat". If you conserved energy and shut off the pilot light on the furnace for the summer, it is time to relight it. The Gas Company provides this service and will check out your equipment for gas leaks.


Of course, it is also a great idea to call your local heating and air conditioning contractor and have them service your system. They can change the filters and alert you to any potential issues. It is amazing how easy it is to ignore servicing heating and air conditioning systems as long as they are functioning as they should. It is when there is a failure, that the panicky call goes out to the contractor. Since often problems will arise when a system is first turned on, the contractors can be busy and it may take time for your needs to rise to the top of the service call list. Calling now puts you ahead of the crowd.
