We fix heat, cooling, air quality and plumbing every day of the week, and we answer the emergency line overnight.

What Lakewood houses ask of a heating and cooling system

Much of Lakewood went up between 1900 and 1940, so the two family doubles and center hall Colonials here often still run on steam or hot water radiators with no ductwork at all. Basements are tight, chimneys are shared, and side yards leave little room for a condenser. High velocity and ductless systems solve most of it.

Lakewood sits right on the Lake Erie shore and still gets lake effect snow, lighter than in the snowbelt but enough to drift against outdoor units set close to the house. Older gas lines and shared party walls also matter when a furnace is replaced, because venting has to clear a neighbor's roofline. We check draft, combustion air and gas pressure on every heating call here.

Lakewood heating and cooling questions

If yours is not here, call and ask. We would rather answer it now than have you guess.

Ask us directly

Can I get central air in a Lakewood house that only has radiators?

Yes. Most radiator homes in Lakewood take a ductless mini split system, with an outdoor unit on the driveway side and indoor heads in the rooms you use. High velocity ducting through closets and knee walls is the other route. We measure the house first and price both.

Do you work on the upstairs unit of a Lakewood double?

We do. Doubles usually have two separate furnaces sharing one basement and one chimney, and the upstairs system is often the older of the pair. We service either unit, and we will tell you plainly if the two should be replaced together for venting reasons rather than one at a time.

Do you cover Lakewood after hours?

Yes, through our emergency line. Our office is on Rockside Rd in Independence, and Lakewood is inside our regular Cuyahoga County service area. We take calls from eight in the morning to ten at night every day, and the emergency line stays open through the night for no heat and water leaks.
