In Need of a Furnace Repair?
Your furnace is central to your comfort and safety during our colder weather in Metro Detroit. If your furnace starts making a loud sound like a clanking or squealing or, worse, suddenly stops working, you need one of our experts as soon as possible. We will promptly come out to your home and accurately diagnose and repair the issue.
Many homeowners make the mistake of ignoring an unusual sound or smell coming from their furnaces. When something goes awry with your heating system, you should contact our team of professionals immediately. By procrastinating, the problem typically only grows worse and more expensive rather than solving itself.
Our highly trained and certified HVAC specialists work with a wide range of furnaces, so we most likely carry your needed part and can return your furnace to its proper working condition in no time. We recognize how important your furnace is, and when it needs attention, we are here to help. No matter what time of day or night.

We have been doing this long enough to know these situations occur at all hours, so we are ready to help at all hours. Again, your comfort and safety are top priorities for us. You can expect our professionals to do whatever it takes to restore your heat regardless of the hour.
Is It Time for a New Furnace?
There are times when a repair is not enough to revive your furnace. Sometimes a replacement is the only answer.
There are also times when you know your furnace needs replacing soon, as most furnaces only last for 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. When furnaces get older, they tend to lose their efficiency and cost you more money in energy even if they are running well. When you reach this scenario, you should act proactively and make plans to replace your furnace, which is always optimum.
In either case, our furnace professionals will calculate with precision the best sized and type of furnace to meet your home’s comfort needs. We will work with you to install the most appropriate HVAC system for your lifestyle and budget.
All newer furnaces have a higher energy efficiency, which translates to savings for you. With a higher energy efficiency, your new furnace will use less energy, thereby saving you in energy costs. Our experts only work with top-quality systems and materials, so you rely on the furnace you purchase will be a perfect fit for you and your Clinton Township home.

Maintenance Is the Key
We say regular professional maintenance for your HVAC system is the key, because we know its benefits. When you neglect proper maintenance on your furnace, it can’t run as efficiently as it should and could cause your energy bills to increase. Without maintenance, you could shorten your furnace’s lifespan as well as increase the chances of unexpected expensive repairs.
When you have professional maintenance completed on your furnace, you can expect better performance and longer life. That is why we recommend annual maintenance, usually in the fall before you begin to use your furnace for the season. Our knowledgeable and experienced professionals will prep your furnace for the cold weather by thoroughly inspecting and cleaning your system.
We stand firmly behind our company philosophy—“Experience the Service You Deserve!”—in every way, because at Great Dane we believe you should have the best service. As part of that service, we offer our Customer Care Program.
This program addresses your HVAC maintenance, providing you with various levels to help you find the best fit for your needs and budget. In addition to fulfilling your HVAC maintenance needs, there are numerous other benefits for you accompanying each level. We would be happy discuss our program with you, so call and speak with one of our friendly team members today.

Customer Reviews
“I’m a new customer and got excellent service! I got to Great Dane through the Consumers Protection Plan. This company did a ‘safety check’ on my furnace (even though I had not asked them to do this) and discovered that my heat exchanger was leaking carbon monoxide into my house. I was soo GRATEFUL they caught this! One reason everyone with a furnace should have it serviced yearly.
The service people were very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this company!!”
– Sara T.
“Great Dane has done some service for us in the past, but recently they sold and installed us a new furnace. Every interaction with their staff has been personal, positive, and professional. What set them apart from my other home service experiences was their attention to detail in both the sale and installment options. The installation of the furnace was extremely well executed. There were alterations and additional changes required, including electrical and drain lines. Their solutions and installation exceeded my expectations. It was a “doggone ” good job.”
– Eric B.
“Thrilled with the exceptional service from Great Dane! From the knowledgeable reps to the skilled techs, every interaction was top-notch. Special shoutout to Shannon for her prompt assistance and excellent customer service, Mihali for his empathy and knowledge, and the install team (Nick A & Drew) for their expert skill, precision, courtesy and efficiency. Kudos to Steve for his comprehensive knowledge and guidance. Highly recommend this company for going above and beyond! #CustomerSatisfaction #TopNotchService #Greateful”
– Rebecca A.
“Your service technician, Dominic Orow, has a brain. He arrived promptly, performed the diagnostic and replaced the failing components quickly. He knew his stuff and advised me on potential failures. I would be pleased to have him again.”
– Rod S.
“Ian K showed up on time, took proper care and respect of my home while doing the install. He and his partner were professional, timely and efficient during their job. I very much appreciated the help after not having heat for 4 days. Thank you so much for the great service performed.”
– Maria O.
“My 93 year old mother needed a new furnace, in December, in Michigan. They came out when scheduled, ran into a problem we resolved the next day. Then it took 2 weeks with this elderly woman having no heat at all to get the installation done. No sense of urgency knowing she was without heat. Two weeks! Would never recommend this company. Their lack of concern for this elderly woman was overwhelming. And even after all that, when they said it was working and mom finally had heat, she didn't. They installed the furnace with the wrong wires and had to send someone else to fix it. Can't wait until summer to see what they messed up on the air conditioner. Do yourself a favor and hire anyone else.”
– Julie R.
“Richard was on time. He was very professional and friendly. He showed me beforeand after pictures of the pump that needed to be cleaned. He explained how to care for it in the future. I have always had great service from Great Dane!”
– Judy A.
“Nicholas Manzo was very educated and friendly. The whole experience felt like a friend came to help out.”
– Kash R.
“I had a great experience with Great Dane. I had a leak from my exhaust pipe from my furnace that I was concerned about. The appointment setting was very easy when I called in – they were able to schedule me for the next day and the communication before arrival was super helpful! Nick was assigned to my house and he was awesome!!! Knew exactly what he was doing – ran back to the shop to grab parts – came back and had everything done in 15 minutes. He was very knowledgeable – answered all my questions and was very friendly! Highly recommend Great Dane and Nick – would definitely use them again should the need arise!”
