We may not need to run our heaters as often or as long as other parts of the country—but when we do run ours, we need it to operate well and not cost an arm and a leg.

And the most common reason for this danger is a cracked heat exchanger in a furnace older than 10-15 years old. Read on to learn more!
Winters in Florida aren’t like other parts of the country. Let’s face it, we’ve had New Year’s Days that have clocked in at 90° before. It’s almost laughable to even think about winter this early in the year. Still though, when temperatures do cool down, however briefly, you want a fully functioning heater doing its job well.
We get why you would ask this. After all, it’s not like we use our furnaces that much—we get a relatively small handful of solid weeks out the year where our temperatures drop low enough to necessitate their use. Therefore, why maintain them?
Okay, well it’s not the last chance ever, but winter is quickly coming to a close and it’s the last chance for timely completion of any of your repair needs. Now is the right time to wrap up any lingering problems you might have with your heating system.
This is the time of year where you might want to reevaluate your heating system.
