Ignore Regular Maintenance: Skipping routine checks and maintenance of your heating system can lead to inefficiencies and potential safety hazards.

Overlook the Humidity Level: Dry winter air can make your home feel colder than it is. Using a humidifier can help maintain a comfortable level of humidity
