Ann Arbor homes — what we typically work on
Ann Arbor has an unusually wide range of housing: pre-1920 near downtown and the Old West Side, mid-century in Burns Park and Ann Arbor Hills, ranch and split-level in the 1970s outer neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions in Pittsfield, Scio, and Ann Arbor townships. Older stock frequently needs updated ductwork and modern electrical service; newer edge homes typically have 200-amp service and high-efficiency equipment already.

Climate & utility notes for Ann Arbor
Equipment in this part of Michigan works hard year-round: January lows often hit -5 to -10°F, July highs push 90°F with high humidity, and Lake Erie influence pushes through both seasons. Ann Arbor is on DTE Energy for both gas and electric — affects which utility rebate program qualifying high-efficiency installs draw from. Weather is nearly identical to Tecumseh.
Common service calls in Ann Arbor
Original ductwork in pre-1920 homes
A lot of Old West Side and Kerrytown homes still have original ductwork sized for low-static furnaces. When we replace with modern higher-static equipment, we adjust returns and supply runs to get rated airflow — we check this at the estimate, not after the install.
Panel upgrades on mid-century homes
Burns Park, Ann Arbor Hills, and Burton Hollow homes built in the 1950s and 60s often have 100-amp Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels — both are known fire hazards and most insurers now require replacement. We upgrade to modern Square D or Eaton service with permits pulled and DTE coordination.
EV chargers and heat pump installs
Ann Arbor's sustainability push means a lot of homeowners are shopping for Level 2 EV chargers, cold-climate heat pumps, and hybrid heat systems. We do free load calculations before every install and quote in writing before any work starts.
Standby generators for outer-township properties
Pittsfield, Scio, and Ann Arbor Township properties near the wooded edges of the city see extended outages during summer storms. Whole-home Generac and Kohler standby generators are a common install — quoted turnkey including the gas line, transfer switch, pad, permit, and inspection.
