Celebrating 10 Years Serving Metro Detroit!
When your home’s heating stops working or your cooling system starts struggling during a Michigan summer, you need clear answers and dependable service. Shook Heating and Cooling handles heating and cooling repairs, installation, maintenance, and indoor air quality work for residential customers and businesses across Livonia, MI and nearby Metro Detroit communities, including neighborhoods near Madonna University and Laurel Park.
A lot of homes in Livonia still rely on aging heating equipment that’s been running through long Michigan winters for years. Some are older brick ranches near Madonna University. The newer homes closer to Laurel Park have more modern cooling and thermostat systems. Either way, the goal is the same: Keep the home comfortable without overcomplicating the job.
Shook Heating and Cooling is a family-owned HVAC contractor from Livonia serving residential and commercial customers throughout Oakland County and the surrounding Detroit area. Our technicians handle furnace repair, boiler repairs, air conditioning installation, cooling repairs, ventilation work, tune ups, humidifier installation, and full heating cooling system replacement projects.
We keep the process straightforward:
Most customers want the same few things: clear communication, fair pricing, dependable work, and a technician who treats their home with respect. That is what good service should look like.
Awesome service with honesty.
Genuinely great to deal with. They replaced our furnace with urgency and professionalism. We will be needing an AC in all likelihood next summer and they will be the only ones I will consider.
Nick Schmidt
Would definitely recommend Shook.
Their technician, was on time, professional, curious, and knows what he is doing. Cleaned my furnace in a timely manner, explained to me what he did to the furnace when he finished.
Mike Bannoura
The entire experience was flawless.
Going forward with any HVAC needs we will definitely be calling Shook Heating and Cooling. They were friendly and helpful, easy scheduling, prompt arrival, and the correct and honest diagnosis for our issue. Highly recommend.
Andrea Rivas
Highly recommend and will be using again for any other needs.
Called for a commercial rooftop HVAC unit maintenance check to get the AC working. They were able to be there the next day and correct the issue within another day after a part came in they needed. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional team.
Mikey Duffield
There were no surprises on the invoice.
Shook Heating and Cooling did a great job of scheduling us in a timely manner for a spring AC check. They arrived early, were very professional, and worked hard to get our unit cleaned of debris.
Elizabeth Saunders
Strongly recommend these guys!
These guys are the real deal and very affordable. Plus they have a service plan for $180 and they’ll come out twice a year and service your AC and furnace. I don’t think I’ll ever switch to another service. Having a company you can depend on and that is honest and fair is a big deal.

Some furnace repairs are simple. Dirty air filters. Faulty thermostats. Ignition problems. Worn blower motors. Others turn into larger replacement discussions once the equipment is inspected properly.
Our certified technicians look at the full system before recommending repairs or replacement. That includes airflow, ventilation, safety controls, carbon monoxide testing, gas leaks, and overall heating efficiency. Furnaces in Livonia, MI are required to undergo carbon monoxide leak testing every three years by a licensed mechanical contractor. That matters during older furnace service calls.
Many homeowners also ask about the “$5000 Rule” for furnace replacement. The general rule is simple:
If the age of the furnace multiplied by the repair cost exceeds $5,000, replacement often makes more financial sense than another major repair.
That doesn’t automatically mean every older furnace should be replaced. But it’s a practical way to compare repair costs against the life expectancy of the heating system.
Professional furnace repair work also matters because major repairs and full replacement jobs in Michigan often require permits. If a repair turns into a full new furnace installation, a Livonia Mechanical Permit is legally required.
We keep the process straightforward. You contact us, we inspect the system, we explain what is wrong, and we help you choose the right next step.
Call, message, or schedule an appointment and let us know what the system is doing. Whether it is odd noises, poor airflow, or rising utility bills, these details help point our visit in the right direction.
We inspect the system and check the likely trouble spots to find the real cause of the problem. We look at the furnace, AC, thermostat, airflow, and ductwork rather than just guessing based on symptoms.
We explain the issue and your options clearly. If a repair still makes sense, we’ll say so. If the system is getting to the point where replacement is the better move, we’ll tell you that too.
Once you approve the work, we get it done. We want the house comfortable again and the system doing its job the way it should.

The most common furnace failure is usually ignition-related. Dirty flame sensors and ignition control issues show up constantly during heating season in Southeast Michigan.
Cooling problems tend to show up fast once the summer humidity hits. Weak airflow, warm air coming from vents, frozen coils, and thermostat issues are all common signs that the air conditioning system needs repairs or maintenance.
Shook Heating and Cooling provides:
Professional installation matters more than people realize. Poor installation can reduce efficiency, increase repairs, and shorten the life of the equipment. That’s true whether the system is a Bryant unit, a packaged rooftop system, or a standard residential AC setup.
Some homes in Livonia still use older cooling equipment that was installed decades ago. Others are switching to more energy efficient systems to improve home comfort and reduce long-term utility costs.
There are also several furnace types homeowners may run into during repairs or replacement projects:
High-efficiency condensing furnaces are designed to extract more heat from combustion, helping improve energy efficiency and reduce wasted fuel.
Furnaces may also run on natural gas, propane, electricity, or oil depending on the property and existing system setup.
A lot of homeowners use maintenance plans simply to help extend the life of the furnace and air conditioning system before dealing with a major replacement.
Heating and cooling systems naturally wear down as they age. Dirt buildup, airflow restrictions, clogged drain lines, worn components, and neglected filters slowly reduce efficiency and increase repair risk.
Regular HVAC maintenance usually includes:
Many HVAC maintenance plans also include seasonal tune ups, discounts on repairs, and priority scheduling during heavy heating and cooling seasons. During heavy winter weather, some people mainly care about not getting stuck waiting several days for service during the first cold snap of the year.
That becomes important during Southeast Michigan winters when prolonged cold temperatures put extra strain on furnaces and boilers.
Heating and cooling systems affect more than temperature. Indoor air quality plays a major role in comfort too.
Poor airflow, excess dust, dry winter air, humidity imbalance, and dirty ductwork can all affect how the home feels day to day. Some homes benefit from humidifier installation, ventilation adjustments, duct cleaning recommendations, or upgraded filtration systems.
Indoor air quality issues also tend to become more noticeable once homes stay sealed up during Michigan winters.
Shook Heating and Cooling handles practical air quality solutions without overselling equipment people may not actually need.
Eventually, some systems simply wear out.
The most expensive furnace repair is often a failed heat exchanger or full blower assembly replacement. Once those repairs stack on top of age, replacement may become the better long-term option.
Our HVAC contractor team handles:
Financing is available on approved credit through Wisetack. Some high-efficiency installation projects may also qualify for instant rebates depending on the equipment and available programs.
Certain energy efficient systems may qualify for rebates up to $1200, helping offset installation costs.
We also explain detailed quotes clearly before work begins. No surprise markups. No vague pricing language. That difference matters.
Commercial heating and cooling systems need regular maintenance too. Small airflow problems or neglected rooftop equipment can turn into major business interruptions once temperatures swing hard in either direction.
Shook Heating and Cooling works with:
Commercial HVAC service may include rooftop units, packaged systems, boiler repairs, cooling repairs, ventilation corrections, maintenance agreements, and replacement planning.
Keeping commercial systems maintained helps reduce downtime and improve long-term equipment reliability.
