Seasons in St. Louis can change quickly. When fall arrives, we find the temperatures can suddenly drop, brining much colder nights. At this time, our furnaces will need to kick in to keep our homes and families warm. It is for this reason we have to ask ourselves, “Is my furnace ready?” If the answer to that question is a “No” or even an “I don’t know”, it is important to schedule a furnace check up.

What is So Important About Scheduling Your Furnace Check Up?
Your furnace check up may have been postponed earlier in the year, but it is crucial that you have it checked before fall and winter when you will need it the most.
Here are just a few reasons you should schedule a furnace check up today:
- Savings: With regular maintenance, Galmiche & Sons in St. Louis can have your furnace running at peak efficiency. Although this might seem like an added cost, it will save you money in the long run. A furnace not in its prime shape runs ineffectively and at a higher cost. However, with regular servicing from a professional, you will have fewer repairs as any problems will be noticed sooner rather than later.
- Convenience: Avoid inconvenient failures with a regular furnace check up! With a regularly maintained furnace, your technician can replace and repair worn out parts before they break down on their own. Another bonus of this aspect is that it gives you the opportunity to schedule your maintenance at a time that works for you, rather than having to jump through hoops and change your schedule to accommodate an emergency repair that could have been avoided with that regular furnace check up.
- Safety: If you allow a furnace to run without any regular furnace check ups, it can become a hazard over time. Gas powered combustion chambers can lead to deadly carbon monoxide leaks which can go undetected. Galmiche & Sons’ experts are experienced in detecting leaks of this nature and can quickly rectify the problem. Electrical control panels can also spark if covered in dust or if they have contact with water, potentially leading to fires or even explosions. Having professionals perform a furnace check up before peak operating season can keep your family and home safe from any dangerous circumstances.
- Cleaner Air: HVAC systems have filters that are designed to trap all sorts of airborne particles, the ones you can see and the ones you cannot, with pet dander and pollen as prime examples. After a few months in the warmer weather of St. Louis, your filters will become clogged with all manner of pollutants. Our furnace check up experts have all the skills in cleaning or replacing your filters in order to keep your system running efficiently and your family breathing clean and healthy air.
What Can I Do Myself?
To help your system run its best throughout the year, it is recommended to change your filter every three months. This ensures your HVAC system will be working without as much strain. Regarding repairs and service, we advise all homeowners in St. Louis to remain safe by speaking to our experts, and scheduling a system inspection before the winter weather fully arrives.
