Save Energy, Save on Cooling
Newer AC units are built to be more energy-efficient than older models, which means they can help lower your cooling bills over time, especially during those hot and humid Michigan summers. Many of the systems we install are ENERGY STAR® rated. And if you're looking for a more flexible way to pay, we offer 0% financing through Wells Fargo for qualified homeowners.
Should You Repair or Replace Your AC?
Sometimes a system can be fixed, but sometimes replacing it just makes more sense. If your AC has been acting up, here are a few signs that it might be time to consider an upgrade:
- Repairs are becoming more frequent or costly
- Cooling is uneven or unreliable from room to room
- Your energy bills keep climbing
- The system is over 10–15 years old
We’ll evaluate your current unit and help you weigh the options, without pushing you one way or the other.
Warranty & Support You Can Count On
We take pride in our work and are always here to assist you. All installations come with a 5-year labor warranty for peace of mind. If something doesn’t seem right after installation, you’ll talk to a real person when you call us at any time of day. We’re available 24/7 to help troubleshoot and walk you through the next steps if needed.
