BBC Announces
FREE Furnace Tune Ups for Residents of the Central and Kinsman Neighborhoods
Experts recommend that homeowners have a qualified heating professional inspect their furnace and heating system prior to the beginning of the winter season every year. A routine inspection and “tune-up” can ensure that the furnace works efficiently thereby reducing energy costs and making it easier for individuals to stay safely in their homes longer. In some cases, it may even save a life by detecting health and safety hazards. With the recent frigid temperatures, it is especially important to make sure that furnaces are inspected!
