In My Opinion

Some thoughts as we enter another summer season in this beautiful Detroit Lakes area…
Again, this summer, Modern heating & Plumbing will resume “summer hours” of 7:30 to 5:00 Monday through Thursday and 7:30 to noon on Friday. This allows us to not only take care of your needs and concerns, but it also allows our employees to enjoy all this season has to offer. As always, we will continue to have a service technician on call for any emergency needs that you may have.
If you haven’t already called in to have your air conditioning system serviced, now is the time. Servicing your air conditioning equipment saves you money as the equipment operates more efficiently. While the money lasts, the City of Detroit Lakes is offering a $70 rebate back to their customers if they have their cooling systems cleaned and serviced… they are paying you to do maintenance on your equipment! What a deal! As you look to upgrading or replacing your air conditioning systems, buy equipment that qualifies for tax incentives and utility rebates…these “cash back” offers really make equipment affordable. Speaking of “cash back,” Ruud is offering some very attractive incentives to consumers if they buy high efficient heating and cooling equipment. Now is the time to invest in your home’s mechanical system! Summer is a time of picnics, family gatherings, soaking up the sun and baseball! On a first come, first served basis, Modern Heating and Plumbing is again offering up to four reserved seats to Red Hawk’s home baseball games. These games are wonderful and it’s good baseball. These tickets are available to you, our clients…all you have to do is give us a call and if the tickets are available…they’re yours! Enjoy the game! “For Your Family’s Comfort,” Rick Michaelson modernr@arvig.net

Ask the Experts

Q:   Is water conditioning equipment “one size fits all” for any water chemistry?

A: Water conditioning equipment, softening equipment and point of use filters are definitely not “one size fits all.”
The water in your home should be analyzed not only for iron and hardness, but for other water problems such as manganese, arsenic, bacteria and low PH problems. When water conditioning equipment is installed with the “one size fits all” mind set, several things WILL happen. Before long, your water quality will deteriorate to the point that you will not be satisfied, and maybe even your new equipment will be fouled and rendered useless.
Definitely have your water tested by a water professional and don’t be satisfied with the first proposal you get. There is no reason not to have crystal clear water that not only looks and feels good but tastes good as well!

It's Everywhere...it doesn't need to be in your home

Experts all agree that radon is everywhere. Radon is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas that comes from the natural decay of Uranium and is found in most soils. Radon, in low concentrations, is harmless. In higher concentrations, Radon is known to cause health problems and is second, only to smoking, in causing lung cancer. In today’s well-insulated homes, Radon can accumulate to harmful levels. Radon enters your home through cracks or holes in your basement’s foundation and floor. Your first step to determining Radon levels in your home, is to test your home. Test kits are available, in short term and long term testing, from many hardware stores. It is an uncomplicated test and when completed, just follow the instructions on where to send the samples in to be tested. Your results will follow in a few days.

If it is determined there is a high level of Radon in your home, you need to consider Radon mitigation with a Fantech fan. Call Modern Heating and Plumbing with concerns or questions about Radon or to have us install a Fantech Radon mitigation fan, for your family’s protection.
