  • Slash Winter Bills with These Furnace Tips

    Slash Winter Bills with These Furnace Tips
    Jan 28 2025

    Are your energy bills skyrocketing every winter? You’re not alone! Keeping your home warm doesn’t have to break the bank.

    In this episode, I break down three furnace tips that every homeowner needs to know. First, let’s talk about your thermostat. Keep it at 66°, layer up, and watch those savings add up. A programmable thermostat can make this even easier—it’s a small investment with big returns.

    Next up: insulation. Whether it’s blown-in insulation or spray foam, adding insulation to your attic and walls prevents heat from escaping. The less your furnace runs, the more you save.

    Finally, let’s talk about furnace maintenance. A furnace checkup includes cleaning the burners, checking the heat exchanger for leaks, and ensuring your blower motor runs efficiently. As I always remind homeowners, "The best furnace is one that’s installed and maintained properly."

    Tune in to this episode for practical furnace tips that work. Subscribe now and share it with a neighbor—because everyone deserves to stay warm without overspending!

    Spot Roofing Scams Before They Drain Your Wallet
    Jan 21 2025

    Roofing scams are more common than you think, but they’re easy to avoid if you know what to look for.

    In this episode, I’ll walk you through common roofing scams and how to protect yourself from them. One of the most frustrating tricks? The bait-and-switch. I always say, "When you buy a premium roofing system, like Owens Corning, you should request a full system." Don’t let contractors cut corners by substituting cheaper materials that void warranties.

    We’ll also cover high-pressure sales tactics that can make you feel rushed into a decision. It’s crucial to establish clear boundaries with your contractor upfront. Knowing what to expect will help you stay in control during the process.
