Whether it is called a polar vortex or not, it is still extremely important to have a furnace in good working condition when cold temperatures hit.  That is why you should have your furnace inspected on an annual basis.  If you have not had an annual maintenance check performed on your furnace yet this season, it is not too late!  If your furnace does happen to break during this wintry season, please know that A.B. May will be there to help you out!
