I have a question regarding the word 家. When is it pronounced いえ　and when うち ?

I like reading Japanese texts with furigana or, sometimes, an audio track you can read along with. I can't claim to have read enough to be any kind of authority, but 家 is a common word and in all the times I've come across it, it's always been pronounced いえ. I haven't yet come across a single instance of it being pronouned うち. So I'd suggest you assume it's いえ unless you've a good reason to think it might be うち.

ありがとうございます。

ありがとうございます is actually a comment on the kindness that someone has shown you, so you can't use it to mean "thanks in advance". But よろしくおねがいします does the job nicely!

konnichiwa. マイケルさん helped you a lot didn’t he?
In addition,
いえ indicates “actual building, house”.
On the other hand うち indicates “original place and home”.
