Your Ducts Need Professional Support

Monday, February 13th, 2023

Air ducts are a vital part of a home. Without them, the only option for people who enjoy forced-air heating to stay warm during the winter is with either a ductless heat pump system (which is usually pretty expensive), or space heaters.

Air ducts are necessary because they transport the heated air from the heating system to the rest of your house, so you can actually feel the heat that’s being created.

The truth is that your heating system could be in the best shape possible, but without air duct systems in good shape, it’s going to feel like your heating unit is broken.

It doesn’t matter what kind of heating system you have, air ducts in bad shape will be a big problem no matter what.

This blog post is a bit of a PSA about how you can detect when your ducts are leaking. Our team offers fast and reliable duct sealing in Wyoming, MI so you can get them fixed up and ready for the rest of the winter, or the seasons to come!

Maintenance Isn’t Just About Efficiency

Monday, November 7th, 2022

We talk a lot about heating maintenance on this blog. It’s a valuable tool for homeowners to achieve maximum efficiency, performance, and safety throughout the winter months. But we often try to frame it in a way of savings, because money is a common denominator that we all need to think about when it comes to our heating systems. However, the savings that you’ll achieve pale in comparison to this one benefit that heating maintenance gives you: safety.

Heating maintenance in Wyoming, MI is often centered on gas furnaces. They’re the most common heating appliances in the country and they’re extremely effective at what they do. But there’s no beating around the bush—they burn gas to heat a home. That means that, while they’re designed with many failsafe and safety precautions, they can become unsafe over time and endanger your family.

Maintenance is a great idea for customers who haven’t had their system looked at by a pro in years.
