From all of us at Great Lakes Heating and Air Conditioning, thank you, South Bend. Being named a winner in the 2025 South Bend Community Choice Awards is an honor we don’t take lightly. Your votes, trust, and word-of-mouth have carried us for years—and this recognition belongs to you just as much as it does to our team.
A heartfelt thank-you to our neighbors
To every homeowner who let us into their living room during a no-heat night, to every small business that called us for a fast repair, and to every family who recommended us to a friend: thank you.
We’re humbled by your confidence and proud to keep earning it with every service call, furnace tune-up, AC repair, and system installation across South Bend and the surrounding communities.
Our South Bend roots run deep
Long before awards and five-star reviews, we were simply the local folks with tool bags and parkas, knocking on doors during lake-effect cold snaps. One of our earliest memories is a winter evening when a neighbor greeted our technician with a thermos of hot coffee and a simple request: “Help us keep the kids warm tonight.” That spirit—neighbors helping neighbors—has guided every decision since. We remain locally owned and operated, and our entire team lives right here in the Michiana area. We shop the same grocery stores, cheer for the same teams, and face the same South Bend weather you do. That’s why we treat every visit like a visit to a neighbor’s home.
What this award means to us—and how it helps you
The 2025 South Bend Community Choice Awards are powered by community support and local votes, which makes this recognition especially meaningful. It tells us we’re delivering on our promise: fast, friendly, knowledgeable HVAC service that keeps South Bend homes comfortable and safe. More importantly, it fuels our commitment to invest even more in technician training, responsive scheduling, and the latest tools—so you get solutions that are quick, effective, and built to last.

What our neighbors are saying
We’re grateful for every review and message you send. Here are a few themes we hear again and again from South Bend homeowners:

Proudly serving South Bend’s unique HVAC needs
South Bend homes face it all: lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycles, humid summers, and the occasional pest problem that can impact HVAC performance. As a locally owned HVAC company, we build solutions for real South Bend conditions—whether that’s tuning a high-efficiency furnace for reliable winter heat, cleaning and optimizing an AC system for peak summer performance, solving airflow issues in older homes, or addressing little surprises like insects or debris that interfere with drains, pressure switches, and outdoor units. Local homes, local weather, local expertise—that’s our promise.
Why “local” matters for heating and cooling in South Bend
- Faster help when it counts: Our technicians are nearby and know your neighborhood.
- Familiar with common systems and floor plans across the area, from historic homes to new builds.
- Advice that fits South Bend’s climate, codes, and comfort preferences—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Thank you, South Bend—this one’s for you
