December 2008    

Fall is here and not far behind is winter.  A few preventative measures need to be taken to prepare for the cold weather:

1. Remove the water hoses from the outside faucet.  You will be charged if we find the faucet has been frozen.
2. Keep the area around your furnace clean.
3. If you leave for a trip, do not turn the thermostat below 60 degrees.
4. If the temperature outside drops below 10 degrees it is advisable to open your cabinet doors under the sinks so that the pipes won`t freeze.
5. We will be servicing furnaces this month and you will be contacted by either Balance Point or Summers Service to schedule a time to come into your home to clean and service your furnace.  It is very important that you cooperate with them.
