If you’re struggling with heating in Union, I’ve got practical advice to help you keep the warm air in and the cold air out.

We know, we know. The title of this blog post makes it seems like gas furnaces are inherently dangerous. This is simply not true. What is true, however, is that if you don’t properly care for your gas furnace, it can become dangerous. Why is this? Well because gas lines can leak, and when a furnace isn’t well-maintained or if the damage isn’t repaired, it’s more likely for this to occur.
Many homeowners in our community are beginning the heating season by turning on their powerful furnace systems. Furnaces produce heat by either burning gas or creating electrical resistance that heats up the air.

From noises to odd smells, a furnace can go through some growing pains every season, and we want to be the team to walk you through them.
One of the goals most homeowners have is to save money on their heating and cooling costs. And we get it!

The good news is, there are a lot of ways you can use your furnace efficiently and spend less. One of these ways is to completely shut down the system during the late spring and summer season, when you don’t need it.
