Home heating consumes up to 50-percent of residential energy usage, and an inefficient system can waste just as much. Schedule cleaning and servicing based on a combustion efficiency test. Schedule an annual tune-up before winter’s chilly winds put your furnace to the test. Also did you know you should replace your air filter at least twice a year? You can buy one in your size at your local hardware store.
