It’s that time of year again. Students around central Ohio are getting ready to go back to school. That means the little ones will be out and about, walking to school, getting on and off school buses, and their parents will be driving as well. Keep an eye out and be safe!
Just a reminder: with school starting, that means the temperatures will be cooling off and soon it will be time to fire up the furnace. Schedule your fall furnace tune-up now and get ahead of the crowd.
