In My Opinion 
What a great spring we’ve had!
After the last
couple of years, I can’t remember when the
spring weather has been this good.
With the
warm, spring weather, we should be thinking
spring and summer and everything good that
goes with the new season.
Take a good look at your heating and air
conditioning systems. With many great incentives
ranging from utility rebates to income tax
credits, now is the time to consider replacing
your equipment, especially if you’re having
problems.
Also with the new refrigerant change,
it makes sense to replace rather than repair.
We
have great financing programs that will help balance your budgets
along with the awesome operational savings you’ll see month after
month!
It’s been a tough winter and all of us have had to cut back on family
expenses. In our newsletter (sign up here), you’ll find several coupons and discount
offers that help you save your hard earned money that you spend on
repairs and maintenance.
Speaking of maintenance, everything we have will last longer
and perform better if it is well maintained!
This spring, Modern
Heating and Plumbing is starting a new and exciting program that
will bring you peace of mind and steps toward a trouble free year. We are offering annual and biannual maintenance agreements for your heating and air conditioning equipment.

Ask the Experts 
Q: Does changing my air conditioning / furnace filter save energy?
A: Changing your furnace or air conditioning filter regularly is a good idea but it is hard to know exactly how much energy it actually saves.
Check your filter every month, especially during heavy use months.
If the filter looks dirty, change it…at minimum, change the filter every three months.
A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you warm or cool…which does waste energy.
A quality, clean filter will also prevent dust and dirt from building up in the system, which lowers maintenance costs and chances of system failure.
Stop by Modern Heating and Plumbing to purchase any size or style of filter. We’re here “For Your Family’s Comfort!”

Think Comfort!
A home is more than the sum of the walls that define it.
A home is a concept, an idea, a feeling…
Home is where we go after a hard day’s work to be with our family. It’s a place where we relax, unwind, and enjoy life. The temperature inside your home is one of the largest factors that affect the comfort inside your home… more than your furniture, the paint color of your walls, your flooring… being too cold in the winter or too warm in the summer affects how much you enjoy your home more than any other factor.
A Geo-Comfort Geothermal Heating and Cooling system can take all the effort and worry out of keeping your home comfortable. Using advanced, natural technology, GeoComfort systems provide constant and even temperatures through all seasons. An investment in a geothermal system offers you more than a way to heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer.
Besides being extremely energy efficient and earth friendly, geothermal systems increase the comfort in your home by maintaining consistent temperatures; there is a 20 to 25 year life expectancy of the system, less maintenance and service is required plus a geothermal system has versatile equipment which can be installed in new or existing homes.
Currently there are many incentives available to lower the cost of a geothermal system. There is a federal tax credit of thirty per cent of the total installed cost of the system, plus attractive utility rebates, reducing the installed cost of your geothermal system by more than one third!
To make your home comfort purchase, even more cost effective, Modern Heating and Plumbing offers GeoSmart Financing. Stop in and see us at 1040 Randolph Road in Detroit Lakes.
