The term variable-speed is used to describe furnaces with a more energy-efficient, variable-speed blower motor. Unlike conventional fan motors, a variable-speed blower motor runs at different speeds to precisely control the flow of heated or cooled air throughout your home. Better airflow control means a better temperature and humidity balance.
Chicagoland winters can be brutally cold, sending some of us to hide under cozy blankets. As we start to head into the colder months, now is a good time to prepare your home for winter. Getting your home ready for winter doesn’t have to be a dreadful affair, there are some easy ways to keep your home warm and comfy during our coldest months.
During winter, the furnace is one of the most critical components in your home. A properly maintained system will deliver maximum heat output without wasted energy, or the risk of harmful emissions. If you defer maintenance for too long, however, your furnace could become costly to run, harmful to indoor air quality, or even break down when you need it most.

Thank you sending Kevin to rod our sewer line. He’s very professional and his expertise is apparent. You have a great employee. I enjoyed meeting him.

Thank you for getting to my home so quickly. The wire filter in my laundry tub went down my drain and clogged the pipe. Only a professional could nab it before serious damage was done. Life lesson leaned on this end to never, ever use those wire lint traps. Thanks again for helping to get this done so quickly.
