How does the furnace operate?
A conventional gas furnace is a home appliance that heats the home by taking in cold air, cleaning it through the filter, and then heating it via the gas burner before distributing it through your home’s ductwork. Even in Florida, there are times that you notice when your furnace is not working quite right and it can be irritating and costly. Here are some of the most common furnace repairs that are requested by homeowners like you.
