You might have to venture outside your house to ensure you are healthy and safe inside your home.   With heavy snow and high winds expected Friday and arctic cold temperatures coming on Sunday, Ultimate Air owner Jeff Blemke says you should ensure your filters are clean on your heating unit and that outside vents are clear of any obstruction.

Blemke also recommends maintaining your furnace to ensure it operates correctly during winter.  Another tip is to hold your home’s temperature steady and reverse the flow of your ceiling fans.  The National Weather Service forecasts single-digit temperatures with potential negative wind chills through next week.
