Local considerations
Freeze protection matters in parts of Ann Arbor where pipework runs through unconditioned space. A boiler losing pressure in midwinter risks frozen pipes on top of the cold rooms, which is why those calls move up the queue.
Lake-effect cold and long heating seasons push furnaces to high annual run hours. Heat pumps in Ann Arbor therefore spend more time in defrost than owners expect, and a defrost cycle that looks like a fault is usually the system working correctly.

02 Furnace Installation and Replacement in Ann Arbor
When a provider recommends replacement rather than repair on a furnace, the heat exchanger and the age are the two factors worth asking about specifically.
Details
03 Heat Pump Repair in Ann Arbor
A heat pump that runs constantly without warming the house is usually leaning on auxiliary resistance because the compressor side is not contributing.
Details
04 Boiler Repair in Ann Arbor
Kettling noise means scale on the heat exchanger, and left unaddressed it reduces efficiency and eventually causes cracking.
Details
05 Thermostat Installation and Repair in Ann Arbor
Heat pump thermostats have additional complexity in the form of balance points and auxiliary heat staging, which means replacement requires matching the control to the equipment.

06 HVAC Maintenance and Tune-Up in Ann Arbor
Heat exchanger inspection during a tune-up is the one check that cannot wait until a fault appears, because cracks create carbon monoxide risk before the system stops heating.

Problems we route in Ann Arbor
Keep anyone vulnerable in the warmest room while you wait, and avoid improvising with cooking appliances. A gas range used for heat is a carbon monoxide risk, not a stopgap.

Ann Arbor HVAC questions
Why does my furnace smell when it first runs?
A brief dusty smell on the first run of the season is normal as dust burns off the heat exchanger. A persistent burning smell, or any electrical smell, is not. Shut it off and call.
What if I smell gas?
Leave the building first, then call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not operate light switches, thermostats or phones on your way out. Call us afterwards, once the utility has made the property safe.
Why are my upstairs radiators cold?
Usually trapped air or a circulation problem rather than a failed boiler. Bleeding radiators resolves some of it. If pressure keeps dropping after bleeding, there is a leak somewhere in the loop worth finding.
How do you decide which provider gets my call?
By ZIP code first, then by who is accepting calls. We publish no ratings and sell no placement. During a cold snap the set of available providers in Washtenaw County narrows considerably.
Do you send your own technicians to Ann Arbor?
No. HVAC Emergency USA is a referral service that connects homeowners with independent local providers. We do not own trucks, employ technicians or carry out work. Verifying licence and insurance before work starts is your responsibility.
