Fall is finally here.
It's been a long hot Summer here in Tennessee, but gradually in October the weather begins to change. The fresh cool air is here. It's a sign... Winter is coming. Be prepared. Have you had your Furnace or Heat Pump checked out? Even if you don't have a professional do it, you should take a look at your Heating System. Debris and clutter that has collected over the off season should be removed. Start up the Heat and make sure it works. Check the age of your system and consider replacement. Most furnaces will have to be replaced at about 20 years. Most heat pumps will last about 15 years. If you need expertise, we can help. Don't wait for the last minute rush. Call Foothills Mechanical Service for a Check Up or an Estimate on a Replacement.
