It’s crucial to take proper care of your furnace—it provides your Fresno home with the heat you need to stay warm.

The good news is it can usually be repaired quickly. However, you should take care of the problem as soon as possible.

Feeling grateful? You’re not alone—it’s one of the most popular forms of heating, as American as apple pie.

You certainly don’t want to wait until your heating system stops working for you to realize you need a replacement!

You just discovered there is a puddle of water on the floor in front of your furnace. What does this mean? Why would your furnace be leaking water? 

As a Fresno homeowner, you should know at least a little something about your heating and cooling system. Knowledge is power after all.

Even if you have not thought about your furnace for months—it is easy to overlook if it is stationed in the basement or hidden in a closet—fall is the perfect time to make sure the most important seasonal equipment in your home is ready for action. 

While an air conditioner’s efficiency is measured by its SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, an electric or gas- or oil-fired furnace’s efficiency is measured by its AFUE, or average fuel utilization efficiency. This standard measurement is given in percentages, letting you know how much of your fuel is actually used to heat your California home and how much fuel is wasted.

If your furnace is producing a strange smell, you should always treat it with caution. While the cause for the odor may be benign, it could just as easily be harmful to inhale.
