Regular Maintenance Checklist

Understanding when to upgrade your heating system is crucial for maintaining home comfort and energy efficiency. If your furnace is over 15 years old or requiring frequent repairs, it might be time to consider a replacement. Modern heating systems offer superior efficiency ratings, which can significantly reduce your monthly energy costs.
