Maintenance
The best way to prevent heating problems is by scheduling annual maintenance in the fall! During routine professional heating maintenance, we can find and address minor issues before they worsen and ensure you’ll have reliable heat all winter.
Gas vs. Electric Furnaces
When choosing the right heating system for your home, it’s important to consider the differences between gas and electric furnaces to select the best option for your Michigan home. Both are excellent home heat sources and require similar annual maintenance to ensure efficiency. The difference is primarily in their source of energy. A gas furnace utilizes fossil fuels to use combustion to create heat, whereas electric furnaces use electricity through heating coils. The difference in cost to install and run these two systems is often negligible as both are excellent and energy-efficient choices.

When you schedule annual heating maintenance with the Hager Fox Heating & Air Conditioning team, you can expect many benefits, including:
