Tune it Up!

Don't wait until your house is cold! Get your furnace or boiler maintained now.

Now is the time to get your furnace or boiler serviced by a qualified oil burner technician. Make sure you have an efficiency test completed at the same time. A well maintained oil heating system will work more efficiently, saving you money.

If you have any questions, or concerns, contact your service provider, Yukon Housing Corporation (867.667.5759) or the Energy Solutions Centre (867.393.7063).
