Seasonal notes for Independence
Kansas City swings from humid 90s to below-zero cold snaps, which is exactly when an aging furnace or A/C tends to quit — a spring and fall tune-up catches a lot of it early.
If you smell gas, leave the house first and call Spire (the gas utility on the Missouri side) or 911 from outside. The meter and the line to the street belong to the utility; the furnace, water heater, and piping inside your Independence, MO home are what a TOD partner works on.
