SNOWPLOWING & SNOW REMOVAL
Heavy, wet snow can be difficult to remove, as well as dangerous. If you have an accumulation of snow on your roof, don’t handle the job yourself. Call a local snow removal expert to safely and efficiently get the snow off. You also don’t want to shovel this type of snow, as it can be a health hazard. There are numerous snowplowing services in the area that absolutely love snow, but will gladly remove it from your driveway and parking lot so you can be on your way. Many will set up a schedule with you so you don’t even have to call when the snow flies.

ELECTRICIANS & GENERATORS
When the power goes out due to a storm or blizzard, you don’t want to be left in the cold. Consider having a generator installed so your furnace, appliances, and lights keep working. Depending on the size of your home, the electrician will recommend the right size generator and will handle the total installation. You can rest easy, knowing that no matter what the weather, you’ll always have power.
HEATING
Cold weather means it’s time for your furnace to do its job, so don’t wait to have it maintained. Call your local heating contractor to clean your furnace, ducts, replace filters, and do a total check to make sure it’s in good working condition. If you do experience problems with your furnace, they are available 24/7 to come and repair it immediately so you and your family stay warm throughout the winter.
