Local considerations
Heating equipment replacement in Detroit normally needs a permit from the local building department, and venting is usually the part that gets inspected. The provider typically handles the permit as part of the job.
Older Detroit housing stock often runs boilers rather than forced air, which changes the fault list to pressure, circulators and zone valves. Mention the system type when you call so the right provider is matched.

What is your thermostat reading?
Drag the dial to the temperature your thermostat shows now. The readout names the likely cause band, how urgent it is, and which page to read next.

Degrees F
- Likely cause band
- Cooling capacity loss: dirty coil, low refrigerant charge from a leak, or a failing capacitor.
- Urgency
- Call today
- Read next
- AC not cooling
What to do while you wait
- Shut the thermostat off so repeated failed ignition cycles stop.
- Note any error code flashing at the furnace control board. It shortens the diagnosis.
- Fit a clean filter if the current one is visibly dirty.
- Protect pipework in unheated spaces if the temperature is near freezing.

Set the thermostat to off rather than leaving it calling for heat against a locked-out system, then call. Repeated failed ignition cycles do no good and occasionally do harm.

Detroit HVAC questions
Do you work on boilers in Detroit?
Yes, where a provider covering your ZIP code handles them. Boiler faults run to pressure loss, circulator pumps, expansion tanks and zone valves, which is a different skill set from forced-air work. Say so when you call.
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 Wayne County narrows considerably.
