As Minnesota homeowners ring in the new year, it’s the perfect time to reset, refresh, and make sure your home’s comfort systems are ready for the months ahead. From staying warm through subzero nights to preventing plumbing headaches, small proactive steps now can save you thousands later — and keep your home running efficiently all year long.
At Logan Companies, we’re proud to help Twin Cities homeowners protect their biggest investment through expert HVAC and plumbing service — and with 0% financing, it’s never been easier to upgrade comfort without the upfront cost.
🔥 1. Start the Year with a Furnace or Boiler Checkup
Minnesota winters put serious stress on heating systems, and even newer furnaces can lose efficiency if they’re not maintained. Schedule a professional inspection and tune-up to:
Ensure your furnace or boiler is running safely
Catch small issues before they become costly repairs
Improve energy efficiency and reduce monthly bills
According to the Minnesota Department of Commerce, proactive maintenance helps preserve home value and prevent expensive surprises (MN Commerce Homeownership Guide).
If your system is 10–15 years old, this is the year to explore high-efficiency replacements — especially with flexible financing available through Logan Companies.
💧 2. Protect Your Plumbing from Minnesota’s Deep Freeze
Frozen pipes are one of the most common — and expensive — winter emergencies. A single burst pipe can cause thousands in damage within minutes.
Here are a few must-dos for January:
Keep your home above 55°F, even when you’re away
Open cabinet doors under sinks on extra cold nights
Disconnect outdoor hoses and shut off exterior spigots
Have a smart leak detection system installed for real-time protection

🌬️ 3. Improve Indoor Air Quality for the Dry Season
Minnesota’s dry winter air doesn’t just affect your comfort — it can also cause respiratory irritation, static shocks, and wood damage in your home.
A whole-home humidifier paired with your HVAC system can:
Balance humidity levels for healthier air
Protect furniture and floors
Help your heating system run more efficiently

🧾 4. Plan for Comfort and Financial Peace of Mind
As the Minnesota Attorney General’s Homebuyer’s Handbook highlights, homeowners should budget for ongoing maintenance and energy upgrades to avoid financial strain (MN AG Homebuyer’s Handbook, PDF).
At Logan Companies, we make that easier with affordable monthly payments and 0% financing on qualifying HVAC and plumbing installations. You get the comfort you need today — without putting off essential work until “next season.”
