We answer 24/7. No heat? AC quit? Water heater leaking? Call (734) 221-3330 or request service online.
What Brighton Homes Throw at Us
Brighton started in 1832 as Ore Creek, a sawmill settlement named for the stream that runs through town. It took the name Brighton in 1838, became a village in 1867 and a city in 1928. The Mill Pond downtown dates to 1840, when a dam on Ore Creek was built for a grist mill. In the 1920s, signs on Grand River sold the area as "50 lakes in a 5 mile radius."
- Homes from the 1970s to the 1990s. More than half of Brighton's homes were built between 1970 and 1999, and the typical home dates to the mid-1980s. Furnaces and AC in houses that age may be on their second or third round, or still original. We check what you have and tell you straight whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
- Condos, apartments and rentals. About four in ten Brighton homes are in buildings with more than one unit, and about a third are rented. That means tight mechanical closets, shared walls and owners who aren't the ones living there. We size equipment to fit the space and work with landlords and property managers.
- Lake country. Those 1920s signs on Grand River weren't kidding. Brighton is surrounded by lakes, and summer humidity makes an oversized AC feel cold and clammy at the same time. We size the system to the house so it pulls moisture out, not just heat.
- County permits. Inside the city and in Brighton Township, mechanical permits come from the Livingston County Building Department in Howell. We file the permit and schedule the county inspection on installs.
What We Do in Brighton
Furnace repair and replacement
When the heat quits, you move to the front of the line. We pin down the failed part and give you a flat-rate price before any work starts. If a repair will hold, we tell you. If it's time for a new furnace, we show you what we found.

Tune-ups and the AirFlow Maintenance Agreement
One visit a year catches the small stuff before it turns into a breakdown. The AirFlow Maintenance Agreement covers a furnace tune-up and an AC tune-up every year, plus gas leak and carbon monoxide testing and a water heater flush. You also get priority scheduling, no diagnostic fee during business hours, and discounts on parts and replacements.

Dry air all winter, dust that's back the day after you clean, a room that never feels right. Humidifiers, air purifiers and better filtration.

Common Questions From Brighton Homeowners
Do you cover all of Brighton?
Yes. We take calls from the City of Brighton and Brighton Township. R&L has four offices, in Taylor, Madison Heights, Trenton and Ann Arbor. Call or request service online and we'll get you on the schedule.
Who issues the permit for a new furnace or AC in Brighton?
The Livingston County Building Department issues mechanical permits for homes in the City of Brighton and in Brighton Township, not the city or township. Bigger projects, like an addition, also need a local zoning approval before the county building permit. We pull the right permit and handle the inspection on installs.
I own a rental in Brighton. Can you work with my tenant?
Yes. We work with landlords and property managers. We can schedule with your tenant directly and send you the findings and the price before any work starts.
Our house is on a lake and the AC feels clammy. Can you fix that?
Often, yes. An air conditioner that's too big for the house cools fast and shuts off before it pulls the moisture out. We check the system size and airflow first, and a whole-home dehumidifier is an option if the house needs more help.
My Daikin was installed by another company. Will you work on it?
Yes. Repairs, tune-ups and replacements, no matter who put it in.
