Be a Tourist in Your Hometown No Place Like Home Experience is Key
Is your home ready for summer? It may still be early, but it’s an important question to think about as we approach the summer months. While the Lower Mainland isn’t known for the hottest summers in the country, it can still get pretty toasty — and we want you to be prepared! As we like to say at Lewis MacLean, prevention is often the best medicine. Our technicians are here to help you prevent issues that may arise with your HVAC system down the road. That said, you may have wondered how our techs can identify these potential issues and diagnose problems before they happen. The answer is experience. We’ve been in the HVAC and plumbing business for a long time, and we know how to train our techs to look for certain signs that something might go wrong. That’s because we’ve seen what happens when things do go wrong — and what causes those problems, big and small. Every inspection we do is designed to pinpoint issues most people don’t notice. It might be a loose screw or a worn valve. Because HVAC systems have many mechanical components, there is a lot that can go wrong, especially as these systems age. We’re here to serve as “HVAC doctors” to keep these kinds of systems up and running through their expected life span while minimizing issues. And on top of identifying mechanical issues, our techs also look for potential safety hazards. If you’re a long-time reader of this newsletter, you know all about the dangers of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide, or CO, is generated by appliances such as gas water heaters and furnaces. If a component on one of these devices has deteriorated or HOW OUR TECHS OPERATE—AND WHY APRIL INSPECTIONS ARE SO IMPORTANT!
Do you dream of adventure? Do you want to see something new, discover someplace
interesting, and make memories you’ll cherish forever? Do you still have to be at work on Monday? Finding adventure doesn’t have to mean packing up and trekking across the globe for six months. Being adventurous is all about
changing your mindset and looking for the unexpected in the familiar.
As you start planning summer vacations, instead of spending a lot of money to be a tourist somewhere else, why not try finding a little adventure at home?
Get a Room If you really want to experience your hometown through the eyes of a tourist, try waking up somewhere new. One night in a hotel room or bed-and-breakfast can really put you in the adventuring mindset. Find Local Events Now’s the time to check out the farmers market you’ve been meaning to go to for ages! Then you can swing by that free concert in the park before going to a play at your community theatre. Attending local events is a great way to visit places in town you’ve never been before. You might even find a historical tour that can teach you all about the wonders of your town. Download an app like Eventbrite, or go old-school and check for fun local events in the paper. Appreciate the Arts There are countless tiny museums and cultural attractions all over the place that most people overlook — especially those who have lived in an area for a while. Does your hometown have interesting art installations on Main Street? What about museums dedicated to strange and supernatural phenomena, parks, historical landmarks, or giant robotic farm animals? Check Yelp.com for lists of popular attractions near you, or ask your friends for suggestions. You might be surprised by what your hometown has to offer. You might be thinking, “This is would be great if I lived somewhere fun!” If you’ve ever thought your town was boring, that’s all the more reason to try being a tourist! Adventures can happen anywhere if you just take that first step out the door.
broken, it could put you, your family, and your pets at risk.
Going into summer, we want to make sure your home is a cool and comfortable sanctuary. We’re here to keep your air conditioning system working efficiently and effectively. Why talk about air conditioning in April? Well, April is the best time for a system inspection and any needed maintenance. Peak cooling season will be here before you know it, and when that happens, our techs will be busy. Right now, you can avoid peak season and the wait times that come with it!
