The new year is finally here – time to wipe the slate clean and maybe even make a few improvements in 2021. While eating healthier or getting a solid eight hours of sleep each night are positive resolutions to tackle, they both require self-discipline and dedication to stay with them for more than a couple of weeks. On the other hand, vowing to take better care of your HVAC system is easy to accomplish while also delivering some significant benefits.
