With temperatures dropping, here’s a helpful reminder for both you and your customers: It’s time to check your furnace and ensure it’s in good shape for the coming winter.

Do you notice:

• any abnormal smells coming from the furnace?
• difficulty starting it?
• or a discolored pilot light?

If the answer to any of these is yes, you’ll want to get it looked at ASAP. (And if that sounds like a big expense, it might be worth learning more about a North Shore Bank home equity line of credit.) Stay warm!
