We’ve been driving to Troy since 2018. We know the difference between a 1960s ranch south of Wattles Road and a 1992 colonial off Livernois in 48098. That matters when your heat goes out at midnight in January and the dispatcher needs to send the right technician with the right parts. Glen Hartman built this company on showing up when we say we will and quoting a price we stand behind. No voicemail trees. No bait-and-switch. Just honest work.
Why Fireside Heating & Air Co. Is Troy’s Preferred Heating & Furnace Company
Troy sits in Oakland County’s busiest HVAC corridor, sandwiched between Rochester Hills and Southfield, with a housing stock that demands more than a one-size-fits-all approach. We’ve spent four decades learning this market.
Our technicians know Troy’s northern subdivisions - the 48085 and 48098 zip codes - where late-1980s and early-1990s executive colonials dominate. These aren’t simple systems. Two-zone forced-air was standard in that era, and when a damper actuator seizes during a cold snap, the symptom looks like furnace failure. Techs from outside the area burn hours misdiagnosing what we recognize in minutes. That’s why Troy homeowners who’ve been burned by franchise trucks call us back.
Phones are answered by a live person, every hour of every day. The same voice you hear at 2 p.m. picks up at 2 a.m. We don’t route you through a call center in another state. If you’re on Wyers Drive, John R Road, or near the Somerset Collection, we’ll tell you exactly when to expect us and we’ll be there.
Every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no paperwork, no arguing. If it’s not right, we make it right. That’s been our standard since 2018.
Our Heating & Furnace Services in Troy
Furnace Repair
Troy’s continental climate delivers roughly 6,200 heating degree days annually. From November through March, furnace reliability isn’t optional. We repair all nine major brands and stock common failure parts - ignitors, gas valves, blower motors, control boards - so most Troy calls finish same-day. A seized zone damper actuator in a 48098 colonial can look identical to a dead blower: cold upstairs, warm downstairs. Our techs carry actuator assemblies and zone control boards specifically for this housing stock.
Furnace Replacement
When a 25-year-old furnace in a northern Troy colonial finally quits, replacement involves more than swapping boxes. Proper sizing must account for two-zone ductwork designed around original equipment. Upsizing without analyzing static pressure can starve one zone. We measure, calculate, and specify equipment that works with your existing ducts - or we tell you honestly when duct modification is unavoidable. The price quoted is the price paid. Full stop.
Furnace Tune-Up
Our $89 seasonal tune-up catches problems before the first hard freeze. In Troy, that means checking bypass humidifiers for scale buildup - Oakland County’s hard groundwater deposits minerals faster than softer-water areas, shortening service intervals. We inspect heat exchangers with cameras, test gas pressure, and verify zone damper operation. For homes on Big Beaver Road’s corridor or tucked into the subdivisions off Crooks, this preventative visit often prevents the 2 a.m. emergency call.
Heat Exchanger Inspection & Replacement
A cracked heat exchanger is a safety issue, not a sales opportunity. We show you the camera footage. If replacement is warranted, we explain why in plain language. Many Troy homes with 1990s-era furnaces are reaching this decision point simultaneously. We’re straightforward about repair versus replace - no pressure, just the facts and a written price.

Trusted Brands We Service in Troy
We train our journeyman technicians on Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and American Standard - four of the nine brands we service - because these appear most frequently in Troy’s executive-home market. We maintain local parts inventory for common failures, which means less waiting for homeowners in 48085 and 48098. When a Carrier zone board fails on a Saturday evening, we don’t tell you to wait until Monday. Our trucks carry the components that break.
Common Heating & Furnace Problems We See in Troy Homes
- Cold upstairs, warm downstairs in 48085/48098 colonials. The zone damper actuator has seized. This is routine in Troy’s zoned housing stock but rare in neighboring Sterling Heights or Warren. We replace the actuator and recalibrate the zone board, restoring balanced heat without unnecessary furnace work.
- Poor airflow after upgrading a southern Troy ranch furnace. The 1960s-1970s ranches south of Wattles Road often have undersized original ductwork. A new high-efficiency furnace moves air differently, and the old ducts can’t keep up. We measure static pressure and specify duct modifications when needed.
- Humidifier not keeping up despite running constantly. Oakland County’s hard water scales bypass humidifier pads and solenoid valves faster than in softer-water markets. We clean or replace components and recommend more frequent service intervals for Troy’s water conditions.
- Intermittent heat or short-cycling on 1990s systems. Original ignitors and flame sensors reach end of life simultaneously across Troy’s build cohort. We replace both, verify gas valve operation, and check for proper draft - a sequence that prevents callbacks.

FAQs - Heating & Furnace in Troy
Probably not. In Troy’s 48085 and 48098 subdivisions, a cold upstairs during a cold snap usually indicates a seized zone damper actuator, not furnace failure. The damper controlling airflow to the second floor has stuck closed, starving that zone while the furnace runs normally downstairs. We diagnose this with zone control testing, replace the actuator if needed, and recalibrate the system - often without touching the furnace itself. Call (866) 561-3358 for a free estimate.
Oakland County’s hard groundwater causes mineral scale buildup on humidifier pads and valves faster than in softer-water areas. Troy’s executive-home market installed these units frequently in the 1980s and 1990s, and they require more frequent pad changes and solenoid cleaning to maintain output. We service them during our $89 tune-up and can recommend a schedule based on your water hardness. Call (866) 561-3358 to schedule.
It can be, but ductwork matters. The 1960s-1970s ranches in southern Troy often have original ductwork sized for older, lower-airflow furnaces. A modern high-efficiency unit moves more air, and undersized ducts create noise, poor comfort, and premature equipment wear. We measure your system’s static pressure and tell you honestly whether your ducts can support an upgrade or need modification first. Call (866) 561-3358 for an assessment - estimates are free.
Yes. Troy’s Big Beaver Road corridor - M-102 through the heart of the city - holds one of Oakland County’s densest concentrations of mid-rise office buildings with aging rooftop package units. Our technicians handle both the zoned residential systems in northern Troy’s colonials and the commercial equipment along the commercial spine, often in the same service day. Call (866) 561-3358 for either residential or commercial service.
We service all nine major residential brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. We stock common failure parts for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and American Standard specifically because these brands appear most frequently in Troy’s 1988-1994 executive-home build cohort. Call (866) 561-3358 - we’ll ask your model number when you call so our tech arrives prepared.
