Winter is Here and Your Home Needs Power! | Lombard, Lyons

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

Now that the snow has finally arrived, many of us are probably realizing that we didn’t miss it as much as we thought. Though this is only the first real snow storm of the season, there are bound to be more and with the snow comes ice and icicles. At Four Seasons, our biggest concern is what will happen when ice and snow buildup on power lines to the point that they collapse under the weight. This can leave entire neighborhoods without power for days, and in Chicago, even a few hours without heat in the home can become unbearable. It is because of this fact that there has never been a better time to consider having Four Seasons install an automatic generator in your home.

4 Reasons to Install a Generator from Four Seasons

  • Restores Power Instantly: Automatic generators are wired directly into the power supply of the home. The unit is able to sense when power is cut off from the grid and will turn on automatically. The transition is so seamless that you may not even notice the power outage!
  • Power as Much or as Little as You Want: Automatic generators can be customized to fit nearly any budget. You don’t have to power the entire home in order to purchase one of these systems. Power just the furnace and sump pump or power the entire home. It is your call, and Four Seasons will help make it as affordable as possible. (more…)

Your Home’s Back Up Plan | Lynwood, Skokie, Crestwood

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Winter is plagued by fierce storms in the Chicagoland area. For many, this means that the electrical supply to the home is not guaranteed. One strong gust and suddenly the home is without power. You and your family are then left at the mercy of your power company and their ability to get the power back up and running quickly. Frequent power outages not only disturb the flow of your day to day life, they also disturb the reliability of comfort in your home. No matter how great your furnace may function, it is useless without a source of electricity. Four Seasons’ Home Services division has the answer to your power outage problems: a whole house automatic generator.

Protecting Your Family’s Comfort

Unless you think your family could handle several days without heat in the home, you may want to sit down and seriously consider the benefits of a whole house generator. These systems, when installed by Four Seasons, will automatically switch on in the event of a power outage. They will use natural gas to produce electricity for as much or as little of the home as needed. At the very least you can attach this machine to the furnace, air conditioner, and sump pump. (more…)

Understanding How Sump Pumps Work

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Most people know about sump pumps because there may already be one in the basement when they move into a house, or because they’ve had to have some install a sump pump after having flooding issues or back-ups in their basements. In order to understand why sump pumps are so useful and why you should have Four Seasons install your sump pump we are going help you understand their significance.

If the basement or crawlspace in your house falls below the water table having a sump pump installed is a good precautionary measure. When the soil surrounding your homes’ foundation gets over saturated by heavy rains, water may make it’s way through leaks or cracks and into the basement. As little as an inch of water in your basement is enough to do significant damage to any storage items or in a finished basement.
