What HVAC services does Straits Mechanical, LLC provide?
We provide heating and cooling services, including AC installation, heating repair, and mini split installation. We also handle plumbing repair and water heater replacement. We do a lot of commercial work, too, and can discuss service options for your building.
When should I consider AC installation?
If your current air conditioner no longer meets your needs, needs frequent repairs, or is nearing the end of its useful life, it may be time to consider AC installation. We can talk through your space, comfort goals, and available equipment to help you choose a suitable system for your Petoskey property.
What should I do if my heating system needs repair?
Contact us when your heating system isn’t keeping your home or building comfortable, is making unusual noises, or won’t start. We provide heating repair and can assess the system to determine what may be affecting its operation. Our furnace dealer is one of the best, giving us access to quality equipment when replacement is needed.
What is a mini split, and when might mini split installation make sense?
A mini split can provide heating and cooling without the same ductwork setup used by many traditional systems. Mini split installation may be worth discussing for a home addition, a room that’s difficult to keep comfortable, or a building without existing ducts. We can help you consider whether this type of system fits your space.
Can you help with plumbing repair and water heater replacement?
Yes! We provide plumbing repair and water heater replacement. If you’re dealing with a plumbing issue or your water heater isn’t working as expected, contact us to discuss the problem and the next steps for your property.
Do you provide backflow testing and service?
