Time to have your Heating System looked at!

If you're a new homeowner, you may not know this...

Its important to have your heating unit regularly serviced. Not only will this keep your system running more efficiently (which will save you money on your heating bill) but it can also help you avoid costly emergency repairs in the middle of winter! In addition, when you're ready to sell your home buyers will often ask for the service history. If a buyer sees an older furnce, you can put the buyuer at ease by providing records of annual service.

September is a great month for this. Call 3 companies...get quotes for annual service and sign up. It can cost about $100/yr for this service and its worth it.
