With the current winter freeze gripping our area, ensuring your furnace is running efficiently and safely is more important than ever.Why a Furnace Tune-Up is Essential During a FreezeWhen temperatures plummet, your furnace works overtime to keep your home warm. Without proper maintenance, this increased demand can lead to breakdowns, inefficiency, and even safety hazards. Here’s why a tune-up is critical during a winter freeze:
