Hot Tubs, Saunas and Fireplaces for Haring, MI Homes
Phillips Lifestyles sells, installs and services hot tubs, swim spas, saunas, fireplaces, fireplace inserts and pellet stoves for homeowners in Haring, Michigan. The family-owned company has served Northern Michigan since 1980 from two showrooms in the Traverse City area. Haring is roughly 42 miles south of Traverse City, on the north side of Cadillac. For a home just north of Cadillac, the team can recommend the right products, install them properly and look after them for years.
About Haring
Haring lies immediately north of Cadillac in Haring Charter Township. The area was settled in the 1870s around a mill and was first called Linden when its post office opened in 1872. It was later renamed for the township. US 131 and its business route both pass through.
Today Haring is where much of the Cadillac area shops and where many of its families live. Students attend Cadillac Area Public Schools, and Lake Cadillac and Lake Mitchell are a few minutes away.
Like the rest of the Grand Traverse region, this area sees heavy snow and cold from late fall into spring. Families spend a lot of winter time at home, which is a good reason to make the house a place everyone wants to be.
These are working family homes that see a real winter. Heating costs matter, and so does having something to look forward to at the end of a cold day.
A Hot Tub for Every Season
A hot tub is one of the simplest ways to turn an ordinary backyard into a place the family uses every week. The hot tubs at Phillips Lifestyles come from Hot Spring, Caldera Spas, Jacuzzi, Nordic, Sundance and Marquis. Models such as the Hot Spring Grandee seat seven, and the Hot Spring Aria suits a smaller group. All are built to run through a Northern Michigan winter.
Start with a free in-home consultation. A Phillips Lifestyles team member comes to your home, measures the area, plans the delivery, checks that the cover and lifter will operate freely and helps coordinate finishes with your siding or deck. Approved electrical contractors wire the spa, and the service includes startup and fill.
You can also try before you buy with a free test soak, or look at Endless Pools swim spas if you would like to swim at home.
Fireplaces, Inserts and Pellet Stoves
A fireplace or stove makes the main living area the warmest room in the house and takes pressure off the furnace. Phillips Lifestyles sells and installs gas, wood, pellet and electric models from Heat & Glo, Quadra-Fire, Napoleon, Enviro and Mendota. The fireplaces and inserts page shows the range, including gas fireplaces such as the Novus nXt.
A fireplace insert slides into an existing masonry fireplace and turns it into an efficient heater. The Quadra-Fire Castile pellet insert is rated at 30,600 BTUs and heats 700 to 1,800 square feet. Freestanding pellet stoves give the same steady, thermostat-controlled heat without an existing fireplace.
Phillips Lifestyles has its own installers. Rob Horton leads the fireplace crew, working with Randy Johnson, Jason Jones and Ron Magee. For background, read the blog guide on how to choose a fireplace insert.
From First Visit to First Use
Here is how a typical purchase goes. Start at a showroom, where you can see spas filled and fireplaces burning. If a hot tub interests you, book a test soak and a free in-home consultation; the team responds to online requests within 24 hours. When your order arrives, Phillips Lifestyles delivers it, has approved electrical contractors connect it, and fills and starts it for you. Hearth products follow a similar route, with a site check for venting and clearances before the in-house crew installs the unit.
In a neighborhood setting, look at how close a spa will sit to the back door, since a short walk means more winter use. Confirm any association rules, and decide early whether the electrical panel has capacity for a 240-volt spa circuit.
Saunas Built for Haring Winters
Heat, then cold air, then heat again: it is a ritual that suits a Haring winter. Phillips Lifestyles offers Finnleo and Tylo saunas in traditional and infrared versions. Outdoor models like the Finnleo Patio Series arrive ready to set in place. The company is also home to the Traverse City Sauna Company, whose craftsmen, Don Ruff and Chris Champt, design and build custom saunas.
Billiards, Grills and Massage Chairs
Comfort is not only about heat and water. Phillips Lifestyles stocks Brunswick and Olhausen billiard tables and game tables, grills for outdoor cooking and massage chairs. They are a good reason to visit a showroom even if a spa or stove is what brought you in.
Keeping Everything Running
Busy households appreciate having maintenance taken off the list. The Phillips Lifestyles service team handles installation, maintenance and repair, as described on the services page.
With the Spa Maintenance Program, a technician visits on the schedule you choose, from weekly to every four weeks, to balance the water chemistry, clean the spa and its cover, clear out debris and rotate the filters. Technicians also offer advice on best practices. For anything else, use the service request form.
Why Homeowners Choose Phillips Lifestyles
Three things set Phillips Lifestyles apart: history, people and service. The company has operated in Northern Michigan since 1980. It is family-owned, led by Dennis and Debbie Riedel with general manager Ryan Gubbins.
It also employs the people who do the work. Sales consultants such as Tony Fifarek, Tyler Hanna, Kenny Smith and Wesley Bonesteel guide the purchase. The company's own delivery staff, fireplace installers and service technicians, managed by Jim Eddy, take it from there. You can meet them on the About Us page.
Frequently Asked Questions from Haring Homeowners
