Winter is still a couple of months away, but it’s just the right time to start thinking about prepping your heater for the season. Because your HVAC is an investment, it’s natural to have a number of questions about maximizing your system’s performance and keeping energy costs in check.
To help provide you with answers, we’ve compiled a list of some of our most important heating-related HVAC blogs. Add these to your browser’s bookmarks toolbar to keep them on hand throughout the season.
#1: When to Start Using Your Central Heat This Year
The best way to describe Midwestern weather is unpredictable. One day is cold, and the next is hot. It can feel impossible to know the perfect time to turn on your heating system in transition seasons like fall. Running your heat only to switch it right back off can negatively impact not only your HVAC unit, but your utility bills as well.
In this HVAC blog, we cover everything you should know about starting up your heating system for the first time this year. We talk about using your interior temperature as a gauge for turning on your central heat, what to do if you can’t tell if your unit is running, and the actions you should take before powering on your system.

#2: Is It Time for a New Furnace Installation?
Most furnaces have an average lifespan of 15 to 20 years, meaning there comes a time for every homeowner to replace their unit. But you shouldn’t wait until your heating system is on its last leg to install a new one. There are several warning signs that indicate you’re ready to upgrade.
By paying attention to your furnace’s performance and your monthly energy consumption, you can avoid being left without heat on a cold winter day. As St. Louis’ heating and air conditioning experts, we share the questions you can ask yourself to determine if you need a new furnace.
#3: What Is a Pilot Light? How Do You Light It?
Pilot lights are less common than they used to be on heating systems, but there are still a number of traditional units that have them. These days, most modern gas appliances have electric starters or igniters. That being said, if you have an older furnace, it’s important to know what you should do if your pilot light goes out.
Meyer Heating & Air specialists simplify pilot lights and lay out the steps you can take to relight yours in our HVAC blog. If you’d rather not tackle the task yourself, that’s OK too! Our team is here to help and will get you back up and running quickly and efficiently.
