Our Royal Oak Experience

Royal Oak has experienced more new construction than nearly any town in the Detroit Metro over the last two decades. As such, the area is host to a number of newer and larger homes in neighborhoods like Meininger Park and Northwest Royal Oak. Our technicians have frequently serviced houses in these and other areas and know the common issues. Below we’ve outlined some of them for your consideration.

Having the Installation of the HVAC System in Newer Homes Checked Often Saves Costs 

A larger number of homes in Royal were built quite recently, some as late as 2024. While these homes are frequently outfitted with the latest HVAC systems and technology, they are not necessarily free of potential risks or issues. Primarily, it is very common to see houses whose HVAC systems are mismatched to the home’s size or HVAC systems that have been improperly or poorly installed. It is estimated that 90% of HVAC systems in Royal Oak are improperly installed to some degree, which can often lead to the system’s short cycling and increased costs. 

If you are experiencing heating issues or are seeking to avoid potential HVAC problems down the road, our technicians can evaluate the sizing of your system and diagnose any issues.

Dehumidifying Capabilities are Especially Important in Royal Oak

Considering Royal Oak’s proximity to the shores of Lake St. Clair, as well as Michigan’s volatile climate and humid summers, it is important for homeowners to have their system’s dehumidifying capabilities checked. The larger homes are more prone to trap humidity inside, leading to common issues like dirty air filters that will lessen your unit’s ability to decrease your home’s humidity.

If you are experiencing excess humidity, our technicians can check your filters and ensure excess moisture is removed from your home.

Two Story Suburban Homes May Benefit from Zoning Calibration

Particularly on the western side, Royal Oak is host to a large number of two story suburban homes. Because of their increased height, the fact that heat rises, and their generally larger size, these homes often experience uneven heating. Many homeowners have found that zoned heating and cooling is an ideal solution for their home, allowing the system to more aggressively heat or cool different sections of the house. However, many homes in Royal Oak have improperly zoned homes due to less experienced HVAC technicians being used for some of the homes. The high number of houses being build stretched resources short, leading to improper zoning in many homes. 

Our technicians are prepared to offer top quality installation services, as well as regular maintenance to keep your zoned HVAC system in top condition. 

Connected Garages May Cause Additional Heating Issues 

A number of larger homes in Royal Oak feature connected garages. While ideal for protecting your vehicle from the elements, larger garages connected to the main living space of the home can cause HVAC issues. Excess heat transfer may occur from the colder garage to the adjoining living spaces if the connecting walls are not insulated properly. Additionally, garages can often cause overload on an HVAC system if the garage is temperature conditioned. 

Our teams can assess your insulation and install a separate system, such as a ductless mini-split, to combat these issues.

Quality of Insulation is Especially Important for Brick Homes

Royal Oak has a number of areas filled with brick homes, particularly those situated around Quickstad park. While brick has a number of interesting thermal properties that can potentially aid an HVAC system, it is not a very good insulator. As such, it may increase the load on the system and contribute to wear and tear over time.

Having your insulation checked and your receiving regular tune ups will help you save on heating costs and allow your system to last longer.

Heat Imbalances are Common in Large Condominiums and Lofts

Royal Oak is also home to a large number of condominiums and loft-style apartments in its more urban southwest neighborhoods like City Center. These apartments generally feature higher ceilings and can have more open spaces, which may cause circulation and heating issues. Rising heat may create excess imbalances in these apartments, creating a less even distribution and heat stratification. Additionally, these lofts often have large windows, which may increase heat loss if not properly insulated. 

Our professionals frequently check insulation in these living spaces to keep them in peak conditions, and may recommend zoned heating or other solutions.
