We've become so dependant on our home heating and cooling systems that we forget they exist - that's until something goes wrong. It's true, as homeowners we often take our heating and cooling equipment for granted until the furnace breaks in the dead of winter or the air conditioner jams up on the hottest day of the summer. But air conditioners and furnaces are only the tip of the ice berg when it comes to home heating and cooling. Your home's comfort level also depends on easy-to-forget equipment such as heat pumps, woodstoves, thermostats, humidifiers, ducts, exhaust fans and water heaters. If any of these breaks you could be left with dry skin, cold showers and stagnant air in your home. Proper maintenance of your home heating and cooling systems is detrimental to home comfort.
