Does Your Furnace Need a Helping Hand?
Things like low humidity, poor indoor air quality, and a home with a plethora of air leakages can create a big challenge for a furnace. Thankfully all of these are addressable issues.

Lastly, consider checking your home for sealing issues around doors and windows, or looking into the state of your insulation. All of these things will help your heater by allowing your home to hold heat much more efficiently.

- Your furnace is emitting strange sounds such as rattling, hissing, screeching, clanking, etc.
- There is a smell of gas or rotten eggs
- Your furnace is blowing air that isn’t heated.
- Your furnace’s airflow is much weaker than usual
