Outstanding Job GLH&AC!!
In the morning we noticed that our hot water heater was no longer working. Great Lakes Heating and Air Conditioning came out two hours later and had a new water heater installed by noon! The installers were very friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. Special shout-out to their lead installer (Jerimee), who was extremely professional and patient while I asked my questions. I highly recommend them for all your home HVAC and water repairs/replacements. Outstanding job GLH&AC!!
Gregg Horner
I appreciate Shawn for his dedication
I had a water softener go out; Great Lakes repaired it. It worked for 24 hours and went out again. Another call to Great Lakes, and at 8:30–9:00 p.m. they returned again. Went through every possible check. Still not working. Cut through water pipe coming into house, no water still. It’s now a well concern.
I appreciate Shawn for his dedication and commitment to helping me and tracking the issue down. Called well company, came out, put a new pump on well. I now have water.
Thanks, Great Lakes, for all your help and concern.
Carol Campbell

Dharmendra Desai
Couldn't be happier with the results
Great Lakes went to great lengths when installing two water heaters and a water softener in our 100-year-old duplex home and rental property. As the attached photos bear out, they made use of quality fittings and tubing to make sure the installation was not just a replacement but an improvement over the prior installation. We could not be happier with the process and results.

Outstanding Customer Service
My husband and I continue to have such a great experience with Great Lakes Heating and Air-Conditioning. Today 1/16/2025 we had our annual maintenance appointment for both our furnace and water heater. Our technician, Brock, was knowledgeable, respectful, thorough, courteous, and very kind! It was a pleasure to have him in our home! Great Lakes Heating and Air Conditioning offers great products, outstanding customer service, and is a pleasure to work with as they are so reliable! Thank you SO much!

Highly Recommend Great Lakes HVAC
Matt and Eric came out to drain our water heater and inspect our furnace today. They were very friendly and professional. Everything went well, and we are 'good to go' for several more years. We just joined the advantage membership, and it gives us peace of mind to know we are in good hands with the Great Lakes team. We highly recommend them!
Mike Moffitt
Highly recommend
Ruah did a great job for us on a service call for a plumbing issue. He was very courteous and explained everything thoroughly. He did not charge any more than necessary, no pressure to buy things we didn't need. And he cleaned up after himself! Highly recommend.
Audrey Kelly

Darric Cole
Professional and Knowledgeable

Terry K.
Very pleased and highly recommend
Installed insulated tubing and vents for two shower fans. While in the attic, discovered a disconnected vent for the chimney vent from the water heater. Jerimee reattached. This could have caused damage in the attic with too much humidity and carbon monoxide emissions. Seth, his partner, also did an amazing job. Thankful for the work performed and for the other discovery. Jerimee also took time to make sure the water heater was venting correctly. Very pleased and would highly recommend.
Sandy S.

I Would Highly Recommend Great Lakes
My experience with Great Lakes has been consistently positive over the years. Today Jason D displayed knowledge and kindness as he did more than the work on his list. (We also discovered I had worked with his dad many years ago!) Past technicians Ethan, Matt, Jacob, and Adam displayed similar work ethic. Also, Julie and Angie and others on the phone have been pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend Great Lakes.

What is considered emergency plumbing?
Emergency plumbing refers to serious plumbing issues that need immediate attention, like severe leaks, burst pipes, or overflowing toilets. These situations can cause significant water damage and should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further issues.
What should I do before a plumber arrives?
Before the plumber arrives, turn off the main water supply to prevent further water damage. If possible, clear the area for easy access and collect any necessary information about the issue to help the plumber assess the situation quickly.
What if my plumbing issue is not urgent?
If your plumbing issue is not urgent, you can schedule a regular appointment at your convenience. However, if you're unsure of the severity, it's always best to call us for advice, as some problems may worsen over time.
