Fast, Reliable Emergency & Commercial HVAC Across Livonia
When your furnace quits at 2 a.m. on a January night in Livonia, or your commercial rooftop unit fails before the morning shift at a strip mall off Five Mile Road, you need a company that answers the phone and shows up. We do both. Our Emergency & Commercial HVAC team has served the Livonia area for over 8 years, and we know the city’s housing stock like we know our own tools. From the ranch homes lining Six Mile Road to the colonials near Schoolcraft and Middlebelt, we’ve repaired, replaced, and maintained systems in every neighborhood across the 48150, 48151, 48152, and 48154 ZIP codes.

Why Fireside Heating & Air Co. Is Livonia’s Preferred Emergency & Commercial HVAC Company
Livonia homeowners remember the contractors who let them down. We’re the ones they call back. For over four decades, Fireside Heating & Air Co. has built its reputation on showing up when we say we will, quoting a price we stand behind, and fixing it so you don’t have to think about it again.
Our technicians know Livonia’s neighborhoods by name. We’ve replaced furnaces in the 48154 corridor near Newburgh and Levan, serviced commercial package units along Plymouth Road, and traced ductwork problems through the ranches between Five Mile and Seven Mile. That local knowledge matters. A technician who recognizes that your 1968 ranch likely has original galvanized trunk lines will diagnose faster and fix it right.
Phones are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. No voicemail trees. No call centers in another state. When you call (866) 561-3358, you talk to someone who can dispatch a background-checked, uniformed technician to your Livonia home or business.

Our Emergency & Commercial HVAC Services in Livonia
24/7 Emergency HVAC
Furnaces fail when it’s coldest. AC quits when humidity peaks. In Livonia, where winter design temperatures drop to -6°F and summer dew points climb past 70°F, a dead system isn’t uncomfortable. It’s urgent. We answer emergency calls at any hour, and most are completed in a single visit. Our trucks carry parts for Carrier, Trane, Bryant, and American Standard systems, so we’re not ordering components while your house freezes. We answered a 3 a.m. emergency call on Six Mile Road where a 1965 ranch’s 20-year-old Rheem furnace had its heat exchanger cracked. The basement ductwork was original galvanized with old tape joints leaking 30% of conditioned air. We replaced the furnace with a properly sized two-stage Carrier and mastic-sealed all accessible trunk lines, cutting the homeowner’s gas bill by 18%.
Commercial HVAC
Livonia’s commercial corridors, from the retail strips along Plymouth Road to the industrial buildings near I-96 and Middlebelt, depend on reliable heating and cooling. We service package units, split systems, and make-up air units for local businesses. Our commercial clients get the same upfront pricing and 90-Day Done Right Promise as our residential customers. No separate billing departments, no hidden charges. The price quoted is the price paid.
Rooftop Unit Service
Flat-roof commercial buildings in Livonia’s commercial zones often rely on rooftop package units that take a beating from southeast Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles and lake-effect humidity. We perform seasonal startups, refrigerant checks, and combustion analysis on RTUs, and we stock common ignition modules and blower motors to minimize downtime. A failed rooftop unit on a Friday evening doesn’t have to mean a closed business Monday morning.
Chiller Service
For larger commercial facilities in and around Livonia with process cooling or chilled-water air handling, we service reciprocating, scroll, and screw chillers. Michigan’s hard water and seasonal temperature swings stress condenser tubes and refrigerant circuits. We diagnose low-pressure faults, oil migration issues, and scaling that reduces efficiency. When a chiller goes down, we respond with the same 24/7 urgency as a residential no-heat call.
Annual Maintenance
Livonia’s age-uniform housing stock means thousands of systems are hitting replacement age simultaneously. Annual maintenance catches problems before they become 2 a.m. emergencies. Our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up includes combustion analysis, refrigerant pressure check, electrical connection tightening, and ductwork inspection. For commercial systems, we customize maintenance agreements based on equipment hours and facility use.
HVAC Inspection
Buying a home in the 48150 or 48152 ZIP codes? Selling a colonial near Seven Mile? We perform thorough HVAC inspections that document equipment age, condition, and safety. We flag original galvanized plenums, oversized furnaces from previous replacements, and ductwork leakage that a standard home inspector might miss. You’ll know what you’re walking into.

Trusted Brands We Service in Livonia
Our technicians are trained to service nine major brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. We stock common repair parts for Carrier, Trane, and Bryant systems on our Livonia-area trucks, which means faster repairs and fewer return trips. For commercial equipment, we source OEM parts through our distributor network, and we don’t substitute generic components on critical safety systems. If your Livonia business runs American Standard rooftop units or your ranch home has a Bryant furnace, we’ve worked on that exact model before. Probably this month.
Common Emergency & Commercial HVAC Problems We See in Livonia Homes
- Rust-through on original 1960s galvanized plenums causes gas and carbon monoxide leaks in Livonia ranch basements. The galvanized steel used in tract homes along Five Mile and Six Mile Roads corrodes from the inside out after 50+ years of condensation cycles. We replace plenums with modern snap-lock or insulated ductboard and seal with mastic, not tape.
- Oversized furnaces short-cycle through Livonia winters. Many 1970s-era replacements were 80,000-100,000 BTU units crammed into ranch homes that need 40,000-60,000 BTU with modern efficiency. The result: rooms that never feel warm, temperature swings from Five Mile to Seven Mile, and premature heat exchanger failure. We perform load calculations and right-size every replacement.
- Evaporator coil leaks in two-story colonials where original brazed copper lines corrode in uninsulated Livonia basements. Southeast Michigan’s summer humidity, amplified by Lake St. Clair’s influence, keeps basement air near dew point for months. Corroded suction lines cause refrigerant loss that mimics a bad compressor. We pressure-test the full circuit before quoting a compressor replacement.
- Duct tape failure in original trunk lines sends 20-35% of heated or cooled air into the basement instead of living space. In 48150 and 48154 ranches, we regularly find 1960s duct tape turned to powder. The homeowner’s new 96% furnace works fine. The air just never reaches the bedrooms. Mastic sealing and trunk line replacement solve it permanently.

FAQs - Emergency & Commercial HVAC in Livonia
Your ductwork is leaking conditioned air into the basement. In Livonia’s 48150 and 48154 ranches, original galvanized plenums and trunk lines were sealed with duct tape, not mastic, and that tape fails after 50+ years. A 96% efficient furnace can’t save money when 30% of its output never reaches your living space. We inspect and pressure-test duct systems during every replacement, and we mastic-seal or replace failing trunk lines. Call (866) 561-3358 for a ductwork assessment.
Yes. We answer commercial emergency calls 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Our technicians carry parts for common rooftop units and package systems, and we understand that a failed HVAC system in a Livonia retail strip means closed doors or lost inventory. The price quoted is the price paid, even at 2 a.m. Call (866) 561-3358 and a live person will dispatch a technician.
Yes, and it’s critical in Livonia colonials where previous contractors often oversized replacements. Two-story homes with open staircases and long horizontal duct runs in uninsulated basements need careful load calculation, not rule-of-thumb BTU estimates. An oversized furnace short-cycles, creating temperature stratification between floors and premature equipment failure. We perform Manual J load calculations and size equipment precisely for your home’s envelope and duct system. Call for a free evaluation.
Your ductwork is likely leaking or undersized for modern cooling loads. Ranch homes in 48154, especially those with original 1960s trunk lines, were designed for heating-dominated climates with modest airflow requirements. Adding central air or replacing with a higher-capacity unit without rebalancing ducts starves the back bedrooms. We measure static pressure and airflow at each register, then modify or replace trunk lines to deliver even cooling. Call (866) 561-3358 for a system diagnosis.
Twice yearly for most commercial systems in southeast Michigan, spring and fall. Livonia’s humidity extremes, hard water scale in cooling towers, and freeze-thaw stress on rooftop units make seasonal maintenance essential. High-occupancy retail or process-cooling facilities may need quarterly service. Our maintenance agreements are customized to equipment run hours and facility type. Call (866) 561-3358 to set up a schedule that prevents emergency calls.
