Inspect Your Furnace and Heating System

This winter has been one of the worst many states have seen in years, with record-setting snowfall, ice, and low temperatures. Here in Ohio, thousands of residents recently lost power following an ice storm, which left their homes cold and dark. Without heat, people were unable to stay in their home, which shows us how important it is to have a working heating system. To ensure your house is properly heated, you need to have a dependable technician, like Ross Heating and Cooling, on-call for residential troubleshooting and emergency repair.
