Mountaineer Mechanical Shares What Cold Weather Really Does to Your Furnace
Winter weather pushes your furnace into overdrive. As temperatures drop, your system runs longer to keep up with demand. Without regular maintenance, this added stress can lead to breakdowns and higher energy bills.
Ice and Snow Can Damage Exterior Furnace Components
If your furnace has exterior vents or intakes, winter weather can block them with ice or snow. Blockages can prevent proper airflow and even cause the system to shut down. Mountaineer Mechanical in Parkersburg, WV, inspects and clears these areas to keep your furnace running safely.
Dirty Filters and Clogged Ducts Limit Heat and Efficiency
Heavy furnace use during winter increases filter buildup. Dirty filters and blocked ducts reduce airflow and leave some rooms cold. Replacing filters and cleaning ducts ensures even heat and improved air quality throughout your home.
Old Furnaces May Struggle to Keep Up in Freezing Conditions
If your furnace is more than 15 years old, it may not handle extreme cold efficiently. Rising energy bills and uneven heating are warning signs. Mountaineer Mechanical offers system evaluations and replacements to help you stay warm all winter.
Preventive Furnace Maintenance Avoids Emergencies During Cold Snaps
Avoid emergency service calls by scheduling a furnace tune-up before severe weather hits. Our technicians check burners, safety switches, airflow, and more. A quick appointment now can prevent costly repairs later.
