It is recommended that homeowners tune up their heating systems every year in advance of seasonal changes to ensure that the systems are operating as efficiently as possible. A heating system tune-up includes removal of dust and dirt in your vents, checking to make sure all your vents are not blocked or leaking and your fuel-jets are working properly. Combustion gases should be analyzed and compared to the specifications of your furnace. The blower access door needs to be checked to assure a tight seal at the furnace. Fresh air intake grills should be checked for blockage, burners need to be checked for proper ignition and flame. The drainage system should also be checked for blockage and leakage. Drains and traps also need to be checked. In addition, the blower wheel and motor, wiring and all filters should also be checked for corrosion and damage. Heating contractors have an extensive checklist they will complete when doing your furnace tune-up.
A heating system tune-up saves energy and reduces heating costs.
National Tune-Up Day was submitted in August 2014 to National Day Calendar by HomeServe USA, a leading provider of home emergency repair service plans.
Also called a comic magazine, a comic book is a publication, first popularized in the United States, of comic art in the form of sequential juxtaposed panels that represent individual scenes. The panels are often accompanied by a descriptive prose and written narrative, usually dialog contained in word balloons emblematic of the comics art form.
In 1933, a comic book, Famous Funnies, appeared in the United States and is believed to be the first real comic book. It was a reprinting of earlier newspaper comic strips which had established many of the story telling devices used in comics.
The term “comic book” got its name as the first book sold as a book reprinted of humor comic strips.
Despite their name, comic books are not all humorous in tone and actually feature stories in all genres.
