Especially for those of us in St. Louis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/post-installation-furnace-maintenance\/\">furnace maintenance<\/a> is exceptionally important as we deal with the arduous winters we are accustomed to. Once winter has passed, your furnace does not get to rest easy though! Indeed, summer means your furnace blower must work to circulate the cooled air throughout your home, thus making furnace maintenance a necessary routine for your household. Below we highlight furnace maintenance tips to help yours run at its optimum.<\/p>\n<p>In St. Louis and the surrounding areas, you can also call Galmiche &amp; Sons at <span class=\"mobile_tel\">314-993-1110<\/span> to set up an appointment for a furnace maintenance check on your home.

Just a few of the benefits of a regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/furnace-check-reasons\/\">furnace check up<\/a> are:<\/li>\n<ol>\n<li>Keeping your furnace running at peak levels, thus requiring less energy consumption to heat and cool your home.<\/li>\n<li>Early detection of issues with the system before they become big (and usually expensive) problems.<\/li>\n<li>It helps your home stay consistently comfortable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<li><strong>Regular Filter Changes<\/strong> \u2013 Clogged filters cause furnaces to strain while pumping air through the systems. Apart from unnecessary, excessive wear to the system, it also uses more energy, which means higher energy costs. The timing of necessary filter changes varies on the type of filter the furnace has. Some filters require annual changing while others need new filters every 1-3 months. Consult a professional for tips regarding your particular system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep the Intake &amp; Exhaust Pipe Clear<\/strong> \u2013 The external intake pipe on your high-efficiency furnace provides the system&rsquo;s air supply. If pipes get clogged or blocked, it can significantly affect your system&rsquo;s efficiency, which in turn creates higher energy costs. More disconcertingly however, a blocked or clogged furnace intake or exhaust pipe can lead to a hazardous carbon monoxide buildup. Regular checks on the intake and exhaust pipes for things like bird nests, foliage, ice and snow, and any other debris can mitigate this problem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a Programmable Thermostat<\/strong> \u2013 Programmable thermostats are great tools to help spare your furnace unnecessary wear and tear. While it may not seem like furnace maintenance, lowering the amount of energy your furnace expends is a good step towards elongating its life and keeping your energy bills manageable. When you and your family are out of the house during the day, you can program your thermostat to a lower temperature. 15 degrees cooler can reduce energy costs by 15% and reduces the workload of your furnace.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce Temperatures When You Are Home<\/strong> \u2013 If you have a programmable thermostat, it is important to use it correctly. You can set your programmable thermostat to drop temperatures at night while everyone is sleeping, which means less energy use and less wear and tear on your furnace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Following these easy furnace maintenance tips will mean lower energy bills for your household, while you enjoy greater comfort!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Galmiche_Sons_Today_for_Your_Furnace_Maintenance_Needs_in_St_Louis\"><\/span>Contact Galmiche &amp; Sons Today for Your Furnace Maintenance Needs in St. Louis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Let Galmiche &amp; Sons take care of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/why-regular-furnace-maintenance-is-important\/\">regular furnace maintenance<\/a> checks, so you can rest assured that your system is running at its best and you are in good hands with a longstanding St. Louis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> company.
