Our Top Heating and Cooling Services in St. Clair Shores
Living on the shores of Lake St. Clair means local residents experience more humidity in the summer along with colder temperatures and heavier snowfall in the winter. With many mid-century and historic homes in the St. Clair Shores community, our HVAC specialists help homeowners save on energy bills and improve system longevity, while always taking care to work within local codes and regulations.
Here are some of the heating and cooling services we often provide in St. Clair Shores:
Heating & Furnace Repair
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Ignition System Repairs | Older furnaces can struggle to light due to issues with the gas valve or ignitor, which can cause delayed heating or no heating at all. |
| Blower Motor Replacement | A malfunctioning blower can lead to weak airflow or overheating. |
| Heat Exchanger Inspections | Cracked heat exchangers can lead to carbon monoxide leaks, which is a serious safety risk. |
AC Repair & Maintenance
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Compressor & Motor Fan Repairs | When these parts fail, an AC unit might make unusual noises or fail to turn on. |
| Refrigerant Leak Detection & Recharge | When refrigerant levels are low, the AC system can’t cool air effectively and the air coming from vents will feel warm. |
| Clogged Drain Line Cleaning | Clogged drain lines can lead to water leaks that damage ceilings and floors. |
Heat Pump Installation
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Ducted Heat Pump Installations | Many homeowners switch from gas furnaces to a modern high-efficiency heat pump, which blows air more effectively through the ducts. |
| Ductless Heat Pump Systems | For older homes that don’t have ductwork, a ductless heat pump can provide heating and cooling without major renovations. |
| Hybrid Heat Pump Systems | Homes in lake-effect cold zones may benefit from hybrid systems which combine heat pumps with furnaces for reliable backup heating. |
AC Installation
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| High-Efficiency AC Installation | Homeowners can lower costs while cooling more effectively by replacing old units with a high SEER-rated system. |
| Variable Speed AC Systems | If humidity is a problem, variable-speed AC units adjust cooling output as needed to reduce moisture and lower energy bills. |
| Whole-Home Zoning Options | Multi-zone AC setups allow you to control temperatures on different floors or specific rooms. |
Furnace Replacement & Installation
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Dual-Stage & Modulating Furnaces | Upgrading to a dual-stage or modulating furnace improves energy efficiency and reduces cold spots. |
| Sealed Combustion Furnaces | Sealed systems prevent drafts and heat loss in historic homes that need more efficient and effective heating. |
Mini Split AC Installation
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Ductless AC for Additions or Renovations | Homeowners with new sunrooms, attic conversions, or garages can install mini-split systems without adding ductwork. |
| Multi-Zone Mini Splits | Using mini-split units allows for more control over specific zones, so you save energy by only cooling spaces that need it. |
| Cold Climate Mini Splits | Advanced heat pump mini splits provide heating in the winter as well as cooling in the summer. |

Problems We See and Fix in Our Hometown
It’s true that being near Lakes St. Clair and Michigan can help to limit the temperature extremes we and our neighbors face. Unfortunately, a combination of climate and architecture can also reduce the lifespans of heating and cooling systems throughout St. Clair Shores.
The location of St. Clair Shores impacts HVAC services in a variety of ways due to the northern location and proximity to a large body of water. Lake St. Clair plays a larger role in proper HVAC installation and maintenance than most people think. The increased winds and humidity cause HVAC systems to need maintenance more often, especially in the neighborhoods closest to the water off of Jefferson Avenue. It is only as you get closer to I-94 on the other side of Little Mack Avenue that the effects of Lake St. Clair begin to disperse. Below, we have listed some of our main takeaways from servicing homes in St. Clair Shores for over 15 years.
Heating Issues
| Problem | Cause | Housing Impact | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Heat Production | Ignition failure, blower issues | Colonial homes’ multi-story layout stresses systems more | Component repair/replacement, system cleaning |
| Uneven Heating | Blocked vents, duct imbalance | Split-levels require precise zone control; ranches with crawl spaces need extra attention | System balancing, vent cleaning, zone control |
| Strange Noises | Loose parts, failing motors | Contemporary open layouts amplify system sounds | Component repair, preventive maintenance |
| Short Cycling | Thermostat issues, sizing problems | Colonial and split-level homes often need multi-zone control | Control calibration, system assessment |
Cooling Issues
| Problem | Cause | Housing Impact | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poor Cooling | Low refrigerant, dirty coils | Contemporary homes’ large windows increase load; ranch exposed foundations stress units | Leak repair, system cleaning |
| High Humidity | System sizing, airflow issues | Colonial multi-story homes need balanced humidity control | Airflow adjustment, dehumidification solutions |
| Ice Formation | Refrigerant problems, restricted air | Ranch-style exposed units more vulnerable to freezing | System recharge, airflow correction |
| High Bills | Efficiency loss, duct leaks | Split-level complex ductwork prone to leaks; contemporary open plans need careful sizing | System tune-up, duct sealing |

| Customer Commitment | We prioritize long-term customer relationships built on professionalism, trust, and reliability.

Our technicians receive ongoing training on best practices and the latest safety techniques to make sure you get the best service possible. | Most providers stick with the most basic license requirements and aren’t committed to long-term training and development. |

We offer specialized HVAC solutions for these homes, such as flexible ducting, that provide modern comfort without sacrificing the unique historic elements of your home. | Many providers struggle with the challenges of historic homes and may not have a deep understanding of local preservation regulations. |
| High Quality Parts & Materials | At Oasis, we believe that our work is only as good as the materials we use, so we only use systems, materials, and parts we know to be reliable and durable. | Most providers prioritize their profit margins over quality materials, which may compromise your system’s performance, efficiency, and lifespan. |
| Community Involvement | We care about giving back to our local community, and you may have seen us sponsoring local charity events, sports teams, and other important community initiatives. | It’s rare to find a provider that’s so deeply involved in the local community. |

How We Fix the Problems Our Neighbors Face
Each home that we visit is different, whether it’s the architecture, the heating and cooling systems in use or the condition of each of those components. So we start with a blank slate to ensure that we miss nothing in our inspection and diagnostics stage. Below are the steps that we take in order to ensure that we come up with a tailored solution for each of our customers’ HVAC concerns that fit with their needs and budget.
Diagnostic Process
We first interview the customer to find out what they have noticed as their heating and cooling systems attempt to operate. Symptoms can range from strange noises and a lack of functionality to a desire for a more comfortable environment without hot or cold spots.
We take that information, gather any available maintenance history and begin creating a hypothesis for the likely issues and what solutions we have available that may help to solve them.
Systems Testing and Inspection
Based on the symptoms, like grinding noises, we will usually inspect key elements of the indoor and outdoor systems, looking for signs of Lake St. Clair-influenced corrosion, failed electrical components and leaks of radiant systems or refrigerants.
Oasis HVAC technicians also take the time to measure airflow and inspect likely areas of failure for systems that are in need of repair. For homeowners that are considering upgrades, this will also be where technicians gather information about what other options may be available where existing ductwork and piping can be reused.
Proposal and Approval
Having gathered the information about the existing HVAC systems in place and any issues that might arise, we will propose at least one solution that requires minimal investment to maintain as many of the existing components as possible. If major systems like heat pumps or radiators are close to the end of their expected lifetimes, we may also propose a solution that includes upgrades to newer technologies with long lifespans and excellent reliability.
In either case, we educate and explain our rationale to the homeowner and allow them to choose the best solution for their needs and budgets. We have seen time and again that people can be overwhelmed by the process of having to get new HVAC equipment installed.
Repair Implementation and Testing
After all parties are in alignment, Oasis HVAC technicians will perform the exact repairs listed in the proposal and quote, or outline the process it may take to upgrade systems if the homeowner has decided on an upgrade and retrofit. Our technicians receive constant continuing education in installing and maintaining systems from leading manufacturers so that they can perform their work as quickly as possible without room for error.
The final step is a simple one: we make sure that the problems identified at the start are addressed, test for functionality and performance and educate the homeowner on how long it might be before they see that issue or a similar one crop up in the case of repairs and maintenance. We also will include information about our industry-leading maintenance programs to counteract the rough climate and architectural features that can reduce the lifespans of HVAC systems in St. Clair Homes.
