You’ve probably heard that it’s important to get your furnace professionally maintained each year. And chances are, you know that most people have it done in the fall, before they start the furnace up for the first time when the weather gets cold. Is it too late to schedule maintenance for your furnace? Is it worth bothering now that winter has set in? You should still have it done. Here’s why.

You can’t just hope for the best–eventually, you’ll need to make a choice that will keep your home safe and cozy. How can you tell whether the cost of a furnace repair is worth it, or whether it’s so expensive that you should replace the furnace instead? Here are some tips.
