What Saline Homes Throw at Us

Saline is named for the salt springs along its river. French mapmakers called the river Saline, their word for a salt marsh. The town was platted in 1832, became a village in 1866 and a city in 1931. Downtown has three local historic districts with homes going back to the mid-1800s, and newer neighborhoods spread out from there.

  • Historic downtown homes. Gothic Revival, Italianate, Victorian and Craftsman houses in the downtown historic districts were built long before central air. Old ductwork, added-on rooms and tight basements come with the territory. We look at how the house was built before we suggest anything, and a ductless mini-split can cool rooms the ducts never reached.
  • Homes from around 1980. The typical Saline home was built around 1980, so many have already had one round of new equipment and some are due for the next. We check what you have and tell you straight whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
  • City permits, filed online. Inside city limits, the City of Saline Building Department handles mechanical permits, and contractors have to register with the department before they apply. We pull the permit and handle the inspection on installs.

What We Do in Saline

Furnace repair and replacement

A home with no heat gets bumped up the schedule. We find the part that failed and quote a flat rate before we start. If a repair is the right call, we tell you. If it's time to replace, we show you why.

Heating Service

AC and heat pumps

Central air, heat pumps and ductless mini-splits, from historic downtown houses to newer homes on the edge of town.

AC Service

Tune-ups and the AirFlow Maintenance Agreement

A yearly tune-up spots small problems while they're still cheap to fix. 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 Saline Homeowners

Do you cover all of Saline?

Yes. We take calls from across Saline. 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 Saline?

Inside city limits, the City of Saline Building Department issues mechanical permits, and contractors register with the department before they apply. A Saline 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 is in one of Saline's historic districts. Can you still update the heating and cooling?

Yes. We work with the house as it was built, plan around older ducts and tight spaces, and can use a ductless mini-split for rooms the ducts don't reach. If you're changing anything on the outside of the house, check the city's historic district rules first.

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 house has no ductwork in some rooms. Can I still get AC there?

Yes. A ductless mini-split cools the rooms you pick without running new ducts.
