Some people may think that doing their own furnace repairs is a simple way to save money, but in the long run it may not only wind up costing you more money, but can be dangerous too. The smart solutions is to leave major household repairs, such as   furnace repairs to the experts.  Here is why. Warranty Many furnaces come with limited warranties that state they will only be covered if serviced by a licensed professional.  By taking repairs into your own hands, you may be voiding your warranty.  Professionals are able to spot defective parts and mechanical issues that would be covered under warranty, that you may not be able to detect.  This would save you out of pocket costs.

  Never did I dream, 10 years ago, while writing my very first post, that I’d still be blogging 10 years later. Blogging is a lot of hard work and takes a lot more time than you could ever dream. Some of my posts take hours to write up, and I couldn’t even tell you how many photos I’ve taken over the years. I think the best thing that has come out of blogging is the wonderful people I’ve met, the close friendships I’ve developed and the places I’ve been.  It has also given me the opportunity to discover brands and products that I’ve come to love. I want to thank each and every one of you who visit my site, read my posts, and enter my giveaways.  You all mean so much more to me than you’ll ever know.  So today. I celebrate all of you!  ~💕 Patty
