Does AC Maintenance NEED to Be Professionally Done?

Monday, May 9th, 2022

We’ve had some wacky weather here in Texas lately. While tourists might think that we’re just the land of sunshine and hot temperatures, that’s really not always the case.

It’s true! Let’s talk about the objective, factually optimal temperature for your heating in Boerne, TX to run at.

Invest in a Furnace Inspection Today

Monday, January 17th, 2022

Furnaces require maintenance just like any other heating system, but when you’ve got a gas furnace, there’s one additional aspect you need to consider. Safety is always the first priority, but it’s something you’re going to want to remember each year when you go to turn on your system for the first time, or start investigating a problem.

Don’t get us wrong, gas furnaces aren’t dangerous. They’re designed with safety measures in place so that they can easily heat your home without problems. And, to make matters better, they’ve got protocols to shut down whenever a safety issue does come up. But things can go wrong, especially after years of neglect and missed maintenance or repairs, and your furnace could start operating unsafely.

That’s why you need to invest in an inspection. This is the furnace service in Boerne, TX that will set things right for the rest of the year.
