March 31, 2015

The end of winter is officially in sight with the weather warming up in the Bay Area you can feel spring just around the corner. Before you shut off your furnace and forget about it until the following year, you’ll want to get it prepped for its annual hibernation. There are a number of things you can do now to ready your system so it’s ready to go next season.

Flipping the Switch

There was awhile where it seemed like this day wouldn’t come, but the moment has finally arrived for you to flip the switch on your thermostat from heating to cooling. Before you set it and forget it, check out your warranty. Most warranties require annual service and maintenance in order to preserve the warranty. If you have any questions about your warranty, the pros at Contra Costa Heating & AC will gladly help you.
