Heating and Cooling in Dexter
R&L Heating and Cooling has been fixing furnaces and air conditioners in southeast Michigan since 1981. We take calls from the City of Dexter and Dexter Township for furnace, AC and water heater repair, replacement and tune-ups.
We answer 24/7. No heat? AC quit? Water heater leaking? Call (734) 221-3330 or request service online.
What Dexter Homes Throw at Us
Dexter started as a mill settlement in 1824, and the city has more than doubled in population since 1990. That leaves three kinds of houses, each with its own problems.
- Older homes near downtown. The original neighborhoods go back to the village days, long before central air. Ducts got added later, or never, and upstairs runs hot all summer. A ductless mini-split cools those rooms without opening up walls.
- Newer subdivisions and condos. Most of the city's growth came from subdivisions and condos on the east and west sides. HOA rules on outdoor units are separate from city permits, so check yours before an outdoor unit moves or gets added.
- Lake homes in the township. Dexter Township has more than a dozen lakes, from Portage Lake to Crooked Lake. Lake lots can be tight, and some have a sewer easement around the grinder pump. Before install day, we'll talk through where the outdoor unit goes.
What We Do in Dexter
Furnace repair and replacement
No heat moves to the front of the line. We track down the problem and give you a flat-rate price before any work starts. If repair makes sense, we say so. If replacement does, we show you why.
Heating Service
AC and heat pumps
Central air, heat pumps and ductless mini-splits, including AC for older homes near downtown that never had it.

Tune-ups and the AirFlow Comfort Club
Regular tune-ups catch small problems before they get expensive. Comfort Club members get a furnace tune-up and an AC tune-up every year, with gas leak and carbon monoxide testing and a water heater flush. Members also get priority scheduling, no diagnostic fee during business hours, and discounts on parts and replacements.

Common Questions From Dexter Homeowners
Do you cover Dexter Township too, or just the city?
Both. R&L has four offices, in Taylor, Madison Heights, Trenton and Ann Arbor, and we cover the city and the township alike. Call or request service online and we'll get you on the schedule.
Who issues the permit for a new furnace or AC in Dexter?
Depends on your address. In the City of Dexter, trades permits come from the Washtenaw County Building Department. Dexter Township uses the Chelsea Area Construction Agency. We pull the right permit and handle the inspection on installs.
I live on one of the lakes. Where does a new outdoor unit go?
We look at the space, the drainage and any sewer easement on your lot, then pick the spot with you before install day.
My Daikin was installed by another company. Will you work on it?
Yes. Repairs, tune-ups and replacements, no matter who put it in.
My older house has no ductwork. Can I still get AC?
Yes. A ductless mini-split cools the rooms you pick without running new ducts.
