When Your Furnace Decides to Take a Winter Vacation

The Adventures of Winter Heating Mishaps

Let’s face it – your furnace has a wicked sense of humor. It’s always fascinating how these mechanical masterminds seem to know exactly when to stop working – usually during the coldest night of the year when you’re hosting your in-laws.

Here at Lansing Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., we’ve seen it all. From furnaces that sound like they’re hosting their own jazz concert to heating systems that seem to think “room temperature” means “Arctic expedition.”

Signs Your Furnace is Planning Its Retirement:

• It’s making sounds that would put a heavy metal band to shame
• Your utility bills are higher than your mortgage payment
• The only warm spot in your house is directly above the coffee maker
• Your pets have started wearing sweaters (voluntarily)

Serving communities across Lansing, IL, Schererville, IN, St John, IN, Munster, IN, Dyer, IN, and Griffith, IN, we’ve become familiar with the creative ways Midwestern furnaces choose to express themselves. Sometimes they’re just feeling a bit under the weather, needing a quick tune-up. Other times, they’re dramatically announcing their retirement with all the subtlety of a Broadway finale.

Remember, if you find yourself wearing three pairs of socks, two sweaters, and contemplating setting up a campfire in your living room, it might be time to give us a call. Our expert technicians are ready to diagnose whether your heating system is just going through a phase or planning its permanent vacation to furnace heaven.

Winter Survival Tips While Waiting for Service:

• Perfect your hot chocolate recipe
• Consider adopting a few penguins (they’ll feel right at home)
• Start a new fashion trend with your blanket cape
• Convince your family that indoor skiing is the next big thing

Don’t let your furnace write its own retirement plan. Whether you need a quick repair, routine maintenance, or a complete system replacement, Lansing Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. is here to ensure your home stays toasty warm, even when Mother Nature decides to throw a polar vortex party.

Because let’s be honest – the only cold shoulder you should be getting this winter is from your teenager, not your heating system.
