What Whitmore Lake Homes Throw at Us

Whitmore Lake grew up as a summer resort. The railroad brought vacationers around 1900, and many lake homes started out as summer cottages before turning into year-round houses. Today the area mixes lake homes with rural, suburban and manufactured homes.

  • Cottages turned year-round homes. A house built for summer weekends now has to hold heat through a Michigan winter. Rooms added over the years often sit at the end of long duct runs and never get warm. A ductless mini-split can heat and cool those rooms without new ductwork.
  • Tight lake lots. Most open land around the lake has been built on, so space between houses is limited. Before install day, we'll walk the lot with you and pick a spot for the outdoor unit with room to breathe and service.
  • Manufactured homes. They often use furnaces and AC made for that kind of home. We'll match the equipment to the home, not the other way around.
  • Two townships, two counties. The lake sits on the line between Northfield Township in Washtenaw County and Green Oak Township in Livingston County. Each side has its own permit office, and we know both.

What We Do in Whitmore Lake

Furnace repair and replacement

A house with no heat jumps the line. We find what failed and quote a flat rate before we pick up a tool. When a repair is the smart move, we tell you. When replacement is, we show you the reasons.

Heating Service

AC and heat pumps

Central air, heat pumps and ductless mini-splits, including cooling for older lake cottages that were never built for it.

AC Service

Tune-ups and the AirFlow Maintenance Agreement

A yearly tune-up catches small problems while they're still cheap. 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 Whitmore Lake Homeowners

Do you cover both sides of the lake?

Yes. We take calls from the Northfield Township side and the Green Oak Township side. 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 Whitmore Lake?

Depends on which side of the county line you're on. On the Northfield Township side, mechanical permits come from the Northfield Township Building Department. On the Green Oak Township side, they come from the Green Oak Charter Township Building Department. We pull the right permit and handle the inspection on installs.

My lake house started as a summer cottage. Can it stay warm all winter?

Usually, yes. We check how the house was added onto, how the ducts run and what the furnace can handle, then tell you what will fix the cold rooms. Sometimes that's a duct fix, sometimes a mini-split, sometimes a properly sized new furnace.

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.
