As we embark on another Michigan winter, it’s time to talk about something near and dear to our hearts: zone heating with a boiler system. Zone heating is like having your own climate control for every room. The boiler specialists at Lake Michigan Heating Cooling Plumbing are your go-to experts for smart, efficient heating solutions.  

What is Zone Heating? 
Zone heating allows you to control the temperature in different areas (or zones) of your home independently. Imagine having the power to keep your living room warm and inviting while maintaining a cooler temperature in unused rooms.  

Benefits of Zone Heating

  • Cost Savings: You can reduce energy bills by heating only the areas you use. It’s like only filling a swimming pool when you’re actually going to take a swim.
  • Personalized Comfort: Everyone has their own ‘Goldilocks’ temperature. Zone heating lets each area of your house find its “just right.”
  • Efficiency: By reducing the workload on your boiler, you increase its lifespan.

Setting Up Zone Heating with Your Boiler

  • Thermostatic Radiator Valves: These little devices attach to radiators and let you set the temperature for each room. They’re like having a mini thermostat for each radiator.
  • Zone Control System: A zone control system uses multiple thermostats connected to a central control panel for a more high-tech approach. It’s like the command center for your home’s heat.
  • Professional Installation: As West Michigan’s boiler specialists, we can help you set up the perfect zone heating system for your home.

Tips for Maximizing Zone Heating Efficiency

  • Insulation is Key: Ensure your home is well-insulated. Good insulation, especially near windows, is critical to maximizing efficiency.
  • Regular Maintenance: Keep your boiler and heating system in tip-top shape with regular maintenance from trusted professionals.
  • Smart Use of Zones: Maximize efficiency by lowering the temperature in unoccupied zones. 

If you’re considering taking the leap into efficient, customized home heating, give our team of boiler specialists a call. We’re here to help you every step of the way, ensuring your Michigan winter is as pleasant and cozy as possible.

From The Lake To The City
Our Neighbors Love Us

Daniel installed an Eternal Water Heater and we absolutely love it! He was quick and very knowledgeable about his products. The quality of his work is second to none!

Melissa K.

Daniel and the entire staff are very responsive. I have used Lake Michigan Mechanical throughout the years. They are professional and charge a fair rate. Both Nigel and Brandon did an outstanding job fixing my old A/C unit and installed the NEST thermostat. Well done gentlemen! Also, most recently installed a tank-less water heater. Once again did outstanding work by Daniel and Team!

Lauren M.

Very patient, great job educating us on the issue and explaining our different options

Amanda Z.

Very professional and efficient job done. I recommend this technician highly!

Regency A.

We highly recommend Dan and Lake Michigan Mechanical. He provides our rental and personal properties with professional, dependable and knowledgeable service.

Duana & Bonnie W.

I highly recommend Daniel with Lake Michigan Mechanical. Not only is he super friendly but he very professional and knows his stuff. I bought a new house and of course the current water heater died within a months time of buying the house. Daniel and staff were in and within 24 hours of me noting the problem we had a new heater. Thank you so much for great work!

The phrase first impressions are lasting impressions rings true with Daniel VanderHyde. He rescued us one Saturday morning after we tried “fixing” our leaky shower faucet ourselves. Hoping he could not only undo what we’d done, but be able to fix it without it being a major project was our biggest concern. And he did just that! We were very impressed with the pride and care he put into his work; he was truly a professional.

Jamie & Christie H.

Dan and company were very prompt, efficient and fixed the problem at my Mothers’ house quickly. We were very happy with their service and how quickly they could come to fix the problem. I would highly recommend them.

Sarah Z.

These folks were very knowledge and we love the straightforward pricing.

Satisfied Customer

So we have to get a shout out to Lake Michigan Mechanical. They were the only ones who could come do the repair today, everyone else was like three days or more out. They were really cool and made the best out of what was a really stressful day for us!! They were really respectful of keeping our door shut when they went in/out (you would not believe how many animals of ours have gotten out due to home repair people) and they cleaned up after themselves!! So far the hot water seems to be working great!

Jessica G.

Daniel and Aiden did an amazingly quick job responding to and repairing my broken furnace over a weekend. Cheers Gents!

Robert D.

Professional and knowledge. They did a great job identifying the problems we were having with our boiler. While other HVAC companies were telling us to replace our unit completely, they knew exactly what to fix to get us up and running, saving us thousands of dollars. I will be calling on them for future repairs I might need. Thank you, Daniel and team!!

Eva S.

Daniel came right down to fix a pump that was broken on a machine and the timing… was critical, he had a very difficult task completed promptly and I was returned to productivity faster than expected. Thank you I’m very happy.
