Temperatures
in St. Louis continue to rise as summer draws near. However, locals
should also anticipate sudden drops in the temperature during the
season when the expected thunderstorms come. When this happens, you
will need to switch from using your AC to your furnace.
This
means that your furnace must be in top shape even in summer. With
proper maintenance, your furnace can perform optimally, in fact, even
until the winter. In maintaining the furnace, one of the things to
watch out for is the accumulation of dirt, which can lead to several
issues, including overheating and overconsumption of fuel.
The
filter is the part of the furnace that is most vulnerable to dirt
buildup, so it has to be replaced regularly. While the need for
replacement is not as frequent in the summer as it is in winter, it
is still something that must be done to ensure your home gets fresh,
uncontaminated air. Likewise, clean, efficient filters will improve
your furnace’s efficiency.
Aside
from thorough cleaning, there are a number of simple maintenance and
repairs you can do on your own. However, when you encounter issues or
problems that you think are beyond your DIY skills, you should waste
no time in seeking the help of an HVAC professional.
