What Howell Homes Throw at Us
Howell was settled in 1834 as Livingston Centre and became the Livingston County seat in 1836. Thompson Lake is named for the settler whose 1836 sawmill on its outlet was the town's first manufacturing business. The downtown historic district has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1987. Its buildings date from the 1860s on, with some put up after fires in 1887 and 1892 cleared older ones.
- Homes more than 85 years old. About 1 in 6 homes in the City of Howell were built in 1939 or earlier. Older houses come with tight basements, aging ductwork and chimneys that a new furnace or water heater has to work around. We check the venting and the ducts, not just the equipment.
- Apartments and condos. More than a third of the homes in the city are in buildings with five or more units. That means small mechanical closets and shared walls. We size the equipment to fit the space and work with landlords and property managers.
- Newer township homes. More than 4 in 10 Howell Township homes were built in 2000 or later. A furnace or AC from the early 2000s is now past 20 years old. We check what you have and tell you straight whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
- Propane in the township. Nearly 1 in 5 Howell Township homes heat with propane instead of natural gas. We repair, tune up and replace propane furnaces. On a new install, the furnace gets set up for propane before it ever fires.
What We Do in Howell
Furnace repair and replacement
No heat moves you up the list. We track down what failed and give you a flat-rate price before any work starts. If a repair will do the job, we say so. If replacement makes more sense, we walk you through why.
Heating Service
AC and heat pumps
Central air, heat pumps and ductless mini-splits, sized for everything from a downtown apartment to a township home on a big lot.
AC Service
Tune-ups and the AirFlow Maintenance Agreement
A yearly tune-up catches small problems before they turn into breakdowns. 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.

Common Questions From Howell Homeowners
Do you cover all of Howell?
Yes. We take calls from the City of Howell and Howell 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 Howell?
It depends which side of the city line you're on. Inside the City of Howell, City Hall issues mechanical permits. In Howell Township, the Livingston County Building Department does. A Howell mailing address doesn't always mean city limits, so we confirm which office covers your home first. We pull the right permit and handle the inspection on installs.
My house was built before 1940. Can it take a high-efficiency furnace?
Usually, yes. A high-efficiency furnace vents through plastic pipe instead of the chimney, so we plan that vent route first. If your gas water heater still uses the old chimney, we make sure it still vents safely once the furnace comes off it.
My Daikin was installed by another company. Will you work on it?
Yes. Repairs, tune-ups and replacements, no matter who put it in.
We heat with propane. Do you work on propane furnaces?
Yes. Repairs, tune-ups and replacements on propane furnaces, same as natural gas. Tell us it's propane when you call so the tech comes ready.
