	My propane bill or fuel oil bill is outrageous. Is their anything I can do?
	Yes, installing a heat pump to your existing furnace will reduce these bills. The heat pump will do the main heating. The propane or oil furnace will come on when needed. These are called Hybrid systems or Duel Fuel systems.
	What are the problems you find most often?
	Furnaces without filters will block the indoor cooling coil. Dirty filters reduce the amount of filtration. Registers that are kept closed will cause the furnace to overheat and air conditioners to freeze up. Air conditioners that are found low on refrigerant while operating will burn out compressors. Yearly service checks are recommended to avoid and correct these problems.
