The heat goes out on a January night, or the AC runs all afternoon and the house never cools down. Something is wrong, but it is not obvious what. That is usually when the call comes in, and it is exactly the kind of call we are set up to handle. When you reach us, you get someone who can work through what the system is doing, scope the job on the phone, and get a visit arranged before the situation gets worse.
We serve Farmington Hills and the surrounding Oakland County communities for the full range of residential and commercial heating and cooling work. Furnace repair, heat pump installation, ductwork, air quality, full system replacement: if it conditions the air in the building, it falls on our side of the work.
Call (734) 899-5495 for a quote. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM.
A thermostat set to the wrong mode is one of the most common reasons a system appears to have failed. If the heat is not coming on, confirm the thermostat is set to heat rather than cool or fan-only, and that the temperature setting is above what the room currently reads. A thermostat that has lost its connection to the system, or one whose batteries have died, can behave as though the equipment itself is broken.
A filter that has not been changed in several months can restrict airflow enough to cause the system to overheat and shut itself off, or to run without moving enough air to make a difference. Pull the filter and look at it. If it is dark and dense with debris, replace it before calling, because a new filter occasionally resolves the problem entirely. Check that the supply vents in each room are open and unobstructed.
Most air handlers and furnaces have a power switch nearby that looks like a standard light switch. It is easy to knock off without noticing. If the system will not respond at all, confirm that switch is on. Then check the breaker panel for a tripped circuit on the HVAC equipment. If the breaker has tripped, reset it once. If it trips again, that is a sign of something that needs a diagnostic visit rather than another reset.
Some systems reach a point where the math on repair stops making sense. A heat exchanger that has cracked, a compressor that has seized, or a system old enough that replacement parts are difficult to source: these are situations where a full replacement is the more practical answer, even if it costs more upfront.
A full system replacement in a home in Farmington Hills involves more decisions than a repair call does. The equipment has to be sized correctly for the space, which means accounting for the layout of the ductwork, the insulation in the building, and the heating and cooling load the system is expected to carry. Undersized equipment runs constantly and still falls short. Oversized equipment short-cycles, wears faster, and leaves humidity problems behind.
The installation itself typically takes a day for a standard forced-air system, though that can vary depending on what the existing setup looks like and whether any ductwork needs to be modified to suit the new equipment. The property is without heating or cooling for the duration of the work, so scheduling matters, particularly in the middle of a cold stretch. When you call, we walk through the options, the scope, and what the job involves before anything is committed.
A tune-up is not a general look-around. For a furnace, the visit covers the ignition system, the heat exchanger, the burners, the flue, the blower motor, and the controls. For an air conditioner or heat pump, it covers refrigerant levels, the coil condition, the capacitor, the contactors, and the electrical connections. Each of those components can fail in a way that either shuts the system down or quietly reduces its efficiency over time.
Scheduling a furnace tune-up in the fall, before the heating season puts the system under load, means catching a worn igniter or a failing limit switch before it becomes a no-heat call in February. Scheduling an AC check in the spring means finding a low refrigerant charge before the first hot week of the year. The work is the same either way. The difference is whether you choose when it happens or the system decides for you.
Annual maintenance also produces clear notes on what was found and what was done, which gives you a reference point for anything that comes up later in the season and a record of the system's condition over time.
Leaking ducts are one of the more common causes of rooms that never reach the right temperature regardless of how long the system runs. When conditioned air escapes into unconditioned spaces before it reaches the living area, the system works harder and the result is still uneven. Duct sealing addresses the loss at the source. If parts of the house have always been harder to heat or cool than others, the duct system is worth looking at.
A system that runs continuously without bringing the temperature down is usually dealing with one of a few specific problems: a refrigerant charge that has dropped due to a leak, a condenser coil that is too dirty to reject heat effectively, or a failing compressor that is no longer building pressure. The symptom is the same in each case, but the repair is different. A diagnostic visit identifies which one it is before any work is quoted.
Forced-air heating pulls air through the system repeatedly, and what circulates through the ductwork affects what the occupants breathe. Whole-home filtration upgrades, UV air purifiers, and air scrubbers all address this on the system level rather than room by room. Indoor air quality treated as part of the system, rather than as an add-on, is the approach that actually changes what moves through the air handler on every cycle.
When a system is being replaced rather than repaired, the job involves removing the old equipment, preparing the connections for the new unit, and commissioning the new system once it is in place. For a heat pump installation, that includes the refrigerant line set, the electrical disconnect, and the connection to the existing air handler or a new one. We handle the equipment and everything on the heating and cooling side of the installation.
A burning smell at the start of the heating season often comes from dust burning off the heat exchanger after months of inactivity. That typically clears within a short time. A burning smell that persists, or one that has a plastic or electrical character, points to something overheating inside the system and warrants a prompt call. A musty smell from the vents usually indicates moisture in the duct system or on the evaporator coil, which is worth addressing both for comfort and for what it means for the air quality in the home.
No-heat calls in the middle of an Oakland County winter are not something to schedule around. We take urgent calls every day from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM, and when you reach us, the call is handled by someone who can scope the problem on the phone and work out what the visit needs to cover. You're talking to someone who knows the area and the systems in it.
For rental properties and commercial spaces that cannot simply close while the system is down, we work around the constraints of the property. That means being clear about what the visit will involve, how long the work is expected to take, and what access is needed before anyone comes out. The scope and the price are settled on the call before anything is scheduled, so there are no decisions made on-site that the property owner or manager was not expecting.
We track down the problem fast.
The price of an HVAC repair depends on what the system turns out to need. A capacitor replacement is a different job from a heat exchanger inspection, and both are different from a full refrigerant leak search and recharge. That is why the quote comes from looking at the system, not from a rate sheet.
When you call, we go over what the equipment is doing, what type of system you have, and what the visit will cover. You get the rate before anything is scheduled. If the diagnostic turns up something more involved than the original call suggested, that change is explained and confirmed before the additional work goes ahead. No pressure and no gimmicks, just straight HVAC answers.
Replacement costs depend on the equipment selected, the installation requirements, and the condition of the existing ductwork. Those variables are worked through on the call and confirmed before the job is booked. Start with the heating and cooling services page if you want the detail before the call.

We serve Farmington Hills and the surrounding area across Oakland County, including Farmington, Franklin, Bingham Farms, West Bloomfield Township, and Novi. Residential homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings across the area are all covered.
If your address is not in one of those communities, call and we can confirm coverage on the same call. Most locations across this part of Oakland County fall within our service area.
We handle both. Office buildings, retail spaces, and light commercial properties in Farmington Hills are served alongside single-family homes and rental units. The process is the same: the job is scoped on the call, the price is confirmed before scheduling, and the work goes forward when you are ready.
Yes. Mini-split and ductless systems come up regularly in additions, garages, and spaces that fall outside the main duct run of a central system. We handle repair, installation, and replacement for ductless equipment in Farmington Hills and the surrounding Oakland County communities. If the system is not heating or cooling the way it should, call and we will scope it on the phone before scheduling a visit.
A repair that does not last usually means the underlying cause was not fully identified, the wrong component was replaced, or a related part that was already failing was not addressed at the time. When we come out after a previous repair has not held, we start from the beginning rather than assuming the prior diagnosis was correct.
In most cases, yes. A whole-home humidifier connects to the furnace and the ductwork and operates automatically with the heating system. The installation requires access to the supply plenum and a water line connection, and the feasibility depends on the furnace type and the duct layout. Call and we can go over whether your setup supports it.
The initial scoping happens on the phone when you call. That conversation covers what the system is doing, what the visit would involve, and what the rate is. If you want a more detailed assessment before committing to a full repair or replacement, that is what a diagnostic visit is for, and we can schedule one from there.
A whole-home humidifier connects directly to the furnace and the ductwork, introducing moisture into the air supply as it circulates through the system. It runs automatically with the heating system and maintains a consistent humidity level across the house without manual adjustment. If your home feels dry and uncomfortable through the heating season despite a correctly set thermostat, it is worth asking about on the same call as a furnace service.
The options and what each involves are explained clearly on the visit and confirmed before any work proceeds. If you want a record of what was discussed, ask and we can make sure the notes from the visit cover it. The goal is that you have enough information to make the decision that is right for your situation.
Yes. If you manage or own multiple properties and want to coordinate service across them, call and we can discuss how to set that up. Billing and scheduling details are settled on the call, and we can note the relevant contacts for each address.
The next step is straightforward.
Call (734) 899-5495, tell us what the system is doing and what type of equipment you have, and we will work through the rest from there. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM.
Pricing set out up front. Code-compliant work. Straight explanations.
We serve these towns nearby as well: Novi, Livonia, Northville Township, Redford Township.
Below is a plain look at the heating and cooling work we handle across Farmington Hills and Oakland County. Each row covers what the service includes, who it fits best, and a practical note worth knowing before you call. If a job does not fit neatly into one category, call and we will help you figure out what you actually need.
| Service | What's Included | Best For | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| HVAC System Installation & Replacement |
| Homeowners and commercial property owners replacing equipment that is beyond repair or upgrading to higher-efficiency systems | Getting the equipment sized correctly for the space is the single most important factor in long-term system performance and energy use. |
| AC Repair & Service |
| Homeowners and property managers whose central AC or ductless system is underperforming or not cooling at all | Catching a refrigerant issue or a failing capacitor before peak summer heat avoids the longest wait times of the year. |
| Furnace Repair & Replacement |
| Farmington Hills homeowners with a gas or propane forced-air furnace that is failing, short-cycling, or no longer worth putting more money into. | A furnace more than fifteen to twenty years old showing repeated issues is often a better candidate for replacement than another repair. |
