Preparing for Winter

With winter on its way, it's important to know how to protect your home from the damaging winter elements. Most of the ways to prepare your home are simple, but FLAME Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electrical is here to walk you through the steps. Being a Michigan company, we understand what the winters are like here and are experts on how to stay one step ahead of the weather.

Winterizing your house is the most important thing you can do to protect your home. And it's not hard. We suggest you have your home inspected by a FLAME technician so that he or she can walk you through what you need to do and how we can help you.

One of the first things you should have inspected is the sealing around your doors and windows. These are high-leaking areas for air, and let's be honest, there's no sense in heating the air around your house. Fixing faulty seals can save you and your family a great deal of money in heating costs, and it's a low-cost fix as well.

Your house's insulation is just as important as the sealing around your doors and windows. If your home is not properly insulated, you're going to pay much more in heating costs than you would otherwise. Every little bit helps, which is why FLAME recommends having your insulation checked before winter is in full swing.

And what good is a furnace if it doesn't work? It's also crucial to check your furnace before winter begins because nothing would be as frustrating as turning it on for the first time to discover it doesn't work. We offer high-quality repair services as well as new furnaces if needed. FLAME is Michigan's leading heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical service company we know how to take care of our customers. We live here too-we know how Michigan winters can be.

Speaking of furnaces, how clean is the air that comes out of your vents? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollution is one of the top-five environmental risks to families in the US. The types of air pollution found indoors include bacteria, mold, dust or even pollen that gets blown through your house every time you turn on your furnace. And because people tend to spend most of the winter months indoors, it's important that your home have the highest air quality possible.

One way to improve your home's air quality is to have your ducts cleaned and checked for leakage. Doing both of these things and then taking appropriate action with FLAME's first-rate service will ensure that you, your family and your home are prepared for winter.
