November is here and sad to say, but the cold weather is here also. It's time to bring out the Winter Jackets and Boots. So something good to keep on your Checklist for this month as we progress into the Cold Months is getting a Check Up on Your Furnace! Have you had it checked since last year? Lakeside Heating & Air Conditioning is a great Company to give a call to make sure you stay Warm for the Winter Ahead!
