WHEN TO BOOK SERVICE
Early fall is usually the best time to schedule professional furnace maintenance in Edmonton, before sustained cold weather and emergency demand. If your furnace will not start, heating is inconsistent, utility bills are rising unexpectedly, or you notice unusual noises, request service now.

SAFETY
If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the building immediately, call 911 and your gas utility, and only contact Fortified once you are safe.
