In My Opinion 
Here we are, finally the weather has turned around and it actually feels like summer!
I’m sure you all are as happy as I am to have such a winter behind us. With the new season, we need to shift gears to summer thoughts.
Cool summer evenings are a great time to relax in your spa. At Modern Heating and Plumbing, we have, in stock, a full line of spa chemicals to keep the water in your spa clear and healthy.
Another issue that affects us all is the pollens and other irritants floating around this time of year. Consider upgrading your air filter to improve your indoor air quality. Options range from 1” pleated filters to electronic air cleaners that are up to 99.9% efficient!
Even though we are trying to forget the long winter season, we should get ready for the next one. Energy costs are obviously rising and there are many ways to improve your heating and cooling systems to lower your heating and cooling bills for years to come!

Ask the Experts
Q: I’m fed up with the high cost of heating my house and want to upgrade my heating system, but after this winter, my cash flow is stretched too thin.
Are there any options for me to upgrade as soon as possible and pay later?
A: Yes! There are several options.
At Modern Heating and Plumbing, we have several payment options. You can stretch out your payments, or defer your payments, until your cash flow has recovered from the winter doldrums. We have plans that defer payments and interest, anywhere from three months to twelve months or even plans with no interest or payments from three to twelve months.
Or, if the interest rate is the concern, you can ‘buy down’ the rate all the way to 7.9% and lower!

We can help you breathe easier...
Home comfort means more than temperature. Improving your home’s indoor air quality (IAQ) is a big part of keeping you and the rest of your family comfortable and healthy. 
Spring brings sunshine, rain, blooming plants and... allergies. You will find a wide variety of equipment on the market that can improve the air quality in your home.
Here are a couple of examples: Air filtration systems make use of state of the art design to remove microscopic particles from your air, particles that can trigger allergies and asthma attacks as well as other respiratory problems. Ultraviolet lights kill micro-organisms growing on your heating and cooling systems, helping to keep your indoor air free of contaminants.

Stretch your Energy Dollars and Stay Cool... 
It’s no secret that the price of heating and cooling your home is getting more costly everyday. There are things that you can do to help you control how much you spend on utilities. At Modern Heating and Plumbing, we put your home comfort first and we recommend and install equipment that’s the best fit for your home, your needs, and your pocketbook.
Whether you are installing a central air conditioning system, a ductless system or a heat pump, many of the utility companies are offering rebates for high efficient equipment. Cash in on those rebates! You may pay a little more for high efficient equipment, but the cost of running that equipment is less expensive and your rebate often covers the “up charge” cost of the higher efficient units.
If your plan is to install or upgrade your air conditioning system, you may want to consider installing a heat pump. Heat pumps are available in both the ducted and ductless systems. A heat pump looks like a central air conditioner; however, a heat pump not only cools your home in the summer but helps heat your home in the winter. Again, the utility companies offer rebates for high efficient heat pumps and often times the rebate covers your up charge investment. A heat pump stretches your energy dollar with not only efficient cooling but low cost, efficient heating.
...And Get Up To $70 Back!
Cooling equipment which is cleaned and serviced by a licensed technician operates more efficiently. If your utility company is the city of Detroit Lakes, give us a call to service your system, pay your bill and take your receipt to the City and they will reimburse you up to $70! What a deal!

Use Your Water Sense
By making just a few small changes to your daily routine, you can save a significant amount of water.
Saving water will help you save money and preserve water supplies for future generations. Water-efficient plumbing fixtures provide the same performance and quality, you deserve, but with the added benefit of saving water.
If your toilet is from 1992 or earlier, you probably have a toilet that flushes 3.5 to 5 gallons per flush. The maximum gallons per flush, allowed by Federal regulation, are 1.6 gallons.
New “WaterSense” labeled models use less than 1.3 gallons per flush...that is at least 60 per cent less than the older counterparts. Compared to a 3.5 gallons per flush toilet, a Water Sense toilet could save a family of four more than $90 annually on their water bill and up to $2000 over the lifetime of the toilet!
Start saving water and money today! Kohler, American Standard and Pro Flo (to name a few) have WaterSense toilets readily available.
Call Modern Heating and Plumbing at 847-7459 to have a WaterSense toilet installed. We are here “For Your Family’s Comfort.”
Did you know...
A leaky toilet can waste about 200 gallons of water every day? To tell if your toilet has a leak, place a drop of food coloring in the tank. If the food coloring appears in the bowl, without flushing, you have a leak.
Give Modern Heating and Plumbing a call to repair that leaking toilet!
