As the winter of 2014 is already shaping up to be a very bitter and blustery season, a regularly scheduled furnace maintenance checkup is essential to saving power bills, increasing home safety, and ensuring that your heating system remains in optimum working order during the coming colder weather. It was only a couple of short years ago that Virginia witnessed two very severe snow storms within a 30-day time period, each dumping over 2 feet of snow within 24 hours, paralyzing residents and immobilizing many cities and towns for several days. In times like these, the last thing that you need to worry about is your home or business heating system.

A clean filter can save your system from working overtime and increasing utility bills. Clean filters can also help to maintain the health of your family, ridding the home of allergens and dust particles.
