Hey Michiganders, it’s time to write your to-do list for fall.
Need a few ideas?
- Clean your gutters!
- Winterize your plumbing system.
- Let our qualified technicians at Great Dane prepare your heating system to work efficiently and safely during colder weather.
You don’t have to lift a finger (or paw) while our Clinton Township HVAC technicians inspect, clean, and tune up your furnace, heat pump, or boiler for the upcoming winter.
We make heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) maintenance the easiest task on your fall to-do list. You schedule a date and time for a tune-up and leave the rest up to us!
Why Maintain Your HVAC Equipment?
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), heating your home typically accounts for approximately 29 percent of your utility bill.
The DOE says that by combining HVAC maintenance with energy-saving thermostat settings, air sealing, and insulation, you can save up to 30 percent on energy costs.
During an annual tune-up, our experts look for signs of potential problems and can resolve them before they become expensive and complicated issues that lead to a system breakdown.

- Coils: Cleaning both indoor and outdoor coils for better heat transfer.
