Furnace Cleaning 101

Nice and Toasty…

Your furnace allows your home to stay warm inside when the Calgary winter weather drops below zero. For you, the home owner, this is very convenient and is in most part an automated process where your thermostat turns your furnace on and off all day to maintain a constant temperature. Gone are the winters where you had to forage for wood to burn to keep your house warm.

Yeah Mule!

Nowadays your only contribution is to pay your gas bill and keeping the furnace in good working order.  Furnace maintenance may seem less heroic than getting out the team of Clydesdales to drag the logs back to your log cabin in the forest, but it is every bit as important….if you want to stay warm.

Take care…

It may sound odd, but your furnace needs to be cared for, not unlike the horses and oxen of the days of old. Keeping your furnace in good shape is critical to the efficiency and reliability to get you through the harsh winters of Calgary without experiencing any emergency furnace repairs.

Check it out…man.
