New Furnace & Sailboat Link—Here is the Unlikely Similarity

Monday, October 23rd, 2023

Get Affordable Furnace Tune-ups. With Guaranteed Results Now

Hi, Jack Devetten, the Professor of Plumbing here with Ace Plumbing and Heating in Calgary. The Sailboat and a furnace have more in common than you think. But first, did you know in my free time, I am the captain of this ship? I love to spend time out on the open waters of a calm lake on a nice summer day. With a cool breeze at my back. All is well on my well-maintained boat. Clearly, to stay afloat, instruments and all components on this vessel must be in tip-top shape. Because the alternative usually does not end well.

But the same line of thinking also goes for the invisible hero in the basement of your home. Your furnace is the most neglected appliance next to the hot water heater you rely on in the winter. Especially when it is -42 plus a light wind.
