‘We’re there for you’ in cold weather: Lee

As winter has descended upon Farragut especially strong of late, Lee Company reminds residents to always prepare for cold temperatures, which plummeted to as low as slighly below 0 degrees in recent days

“While winter is undoubtedly a wonderful time of the year, it can also pose challenges to the comfort and safety of your home or facility,” Bree Barnett of Lee Company stated in a recent press release.

Steps to help protect homes from the cold include “sealing cracks to generator installation and HVAC repair to tankless water heater upgrades,” said Jake Dotson, director of Emerging Markets at Lee Company, which has a location at 12522 Kingston Pike in Farragut.

The company recommends facility owners proactively assess freeze protection systems, maintain outdoor equipment and exposed piping, close outside air dampers in HVAC equipment and regularly check generators to ensure their functionality for backup power if needed.

“Lee Company is here to remind you to learn about some of the most effective ways to protect your home or facility from cold,” Barnett stated.

Leon Lee founded Lee Company in 1944.

Today, it is a $300 million mechanical engineering, facilities and home services company with more than 1,600 employees and is one of the largest mechanical contractors in Tennessee, according to the press release.
