Nasty Pre-Winter Cold Spells Keep Plumbers in KC like John the Plumber Busy

Kansas City based, John the Plumber, stresses the importance of preventative maintenance of your plumbing and heating system, especially with the recent cold spell in the KC area.

Kansas City, United States - October 25, 2023 /PressCable/ —

Water heater repair and plumbing services companies like John the Plumber are being kept busy this fall season due to fall cold spells rocking the Kansas City area, these businesses are regularly answering calls about faulty furnaces during autumn and customers seeking routine maintenance for winter.

Some homeowners say they are trying to have routine maintenance done, but they can’t get a spot on the schedule until December - though experts such as John the Plumber’s owner John Hunt are convinced that kind of preventative work is worth it.

“Homeowners can change furnace and humidifier filters, but it takes expertise to really check out how well a furnace functions,” explains Kansas City plumber Hunt. “Many companies provide fall and spring maintenance work for between $150 and $200 per year, and it should be noted that newer, more efficient models also need checkups from time to time; in some rare instances, newer furnaces need more attention.”

According to experts like Hunt, professionals are needed in situations like these because the furnaces are all sealed up to the point the burners can’t be seen anymore - as such, experienced technicians need to check certain aspects of operation such as gas pressure and the motor. Additionally, the fumes of the flue need to be cleaned out as if this were to get clogged, the pressure switch would turn the heat off.

“A faulty furnace can also release dangerous carbon monoxide gas into a home, which is why we always recommend having carbon monoxide detectors on every floor of a house,” adds Hunt.

Maintaining a home’s comfort system is paramount to ensuring the home is running at its peak performance as the fall season turns into winter, and as such, companies like John the Plumber are ensuring local residents that a highly-trained Kansas City plumber can detect any issues affecting their system. This gives, according to Hunt, homeowners an opportunity to explore solutions and improvements in order to prevent bigger, more costly issues down the road.

During the fall season, experts are also recommending products such as dehumidifiers, humidifiers and indoor air quality items to make the air homeowners in Kansas City breathe cleaner and healthier.

The chilliness of the autumn-into-winter air is also affording Kansas City plumbers the opportunity to help customers check their plumbing systems, with experts like Hunt pointing out that when the weather changes over from cold to somewhat freezing, homeowners will want to already have all hoses detached from outdoor faucets.

Perhaps not so ironically, plumbers tend to be the busiest from September to December, though, depending on climate, this can extend to March or April. The changing weather is one of the reasons for the uptick in business: in colder climates, many homes suffer from burst and/or frozen pipes due to the drop in temperature during this time. There’s also the holiday factor that comes into play as festivities begin to kick off from Thanksgiving into Christmas.
