The experts at J & J Air Conditioning in Eastland will review both your wiring and every moving part of your furnace to establish that your furnace is functioning as it should this season and many seasons to come.

Something you can do to keep your furnace performing efficiently throughout the year, and something we mention quite a bit – check your air filter. The troubles a dirty air filter can create are endless, and the solution is simple – change your air filter. It’s such an easy thing to do and it is so important for the life and efficiency of your system. A dirty air filter can cause a domino effect of problems within your system. A dirty filter reduces air flow which makes your furnace to work harder to keep up with your thermostat, which negatively effects your system’s efficiency and the extra wear and tear will decrease the life of your system. Your air filter also has an effect on your home’s indoor air quality as all the air inside your home is passing through it. A polluted filter means filthy air.
