“Isn’t a gas furnace a bit—old-fashioned?” We sometimes hear this from customers. But the answer is that gas furnaces have kept up with the times and are more energy efficient—not to mention safer—than ever before. If you have a gas line, you should put a gas furnace at the top of your list for installation or replacement. Here are some reasons why:

• Energy efficiency: Few heating systems have as high energy efficiency ratings as gas furnaces. And since natural gas is a less expensive energy source than electricity and heating oils, you’ll save money each time the system turns on!
• Power: There isn’t a temperature low enough to defeat a gas furnace. These heating systems are top–rate in the amount of heating power they provide.
• Convenience: Natural gas is piped right into your home, so you won’t have to worry about running out of heating oil or missing a delivery.

A natural gas furnace can malfunction, the same as any other type of complex mechanical device. If your furnace starts to act oddly or you experience a drop in heating performance, it’s time to call on our professionals for repairs. It is vital that you make no attempt to tinker with the furnace to make DIY repairs. This is not only dangerous, it’s illegal in most jurisdictions for anyone other than a licensed professional to work on an appliance that is connected to a gas main. Stay safe and have your heating system repairs done fast and right: call us first!

You must have regular inspections for your furnace each year. This will ensure that the heater works at its best for many years to come, with a low chance of repair problems and inefficient, money-draining performance. It will also help keep the furnace operating safely! We offer a maintenance program that will give your gas furnace the annual attention to see it operates at peak level.
