Why Mingo Junction Furnaces Strain in Winter
From Commercial Avenue to McLister Avenue, Mingo Junction homes face sharp hillside temperature drops and damp air from the Ohio River valley. Many houses built before 1980 rely on Columbia Gas service and compact basements that challenge airflow. Newer neighborhoods near John Buchmelter Way tend to use electric backups, creating unique demands on blower motors during cold snaps.
