Every Season Covered, From the Furnace to the Filter
AC Installation & Replacement
New central air sized by load calculation, not guesswork. We match condensers, coils, and line sets from trusted brands, confirm current efficiency standards, and leave you with a system built for many humid summers ahead.
Heat Pump Cooling Services
Heat pumps cool exactly like central air, then reverse to heat when fall arrives. We install, repair, and tune heat pump cooling systems, testing reversing valves, charge, and airflow so summer comfort stays steady and efficient.
Mini Split Cooling Services
Ductless mini splits bring cooling to attic bedrooms, additions, and older homes without cutting into walls. We plan head placement, route line sets neatly, and service each zone so every room holds its own temperature.
Air Duct Services
Leaky, dusty ducts waste the air you pay to condition. Our team cleans, seals, repairs, and insulates ductwork, restoring airflow to weak rooms and reducing the dust that circulates every time your blower starts.
Home Zoning System Installation
Zoning lets one furnace and air conditioner hold different temperatures on different floors. We install motorized dampers, control panels, and thermostats, designing zones around how your household actually lives day to day.
AC Surge Protection
Voltage spikes from storms and grid switching can destroy control boards and compressors. A dedicated surge protector at your outdoor unit absorbs that damage, and we size, install, and test it for your equipment.

FAQ's
What should I do if my heat or AC quits in the middle of the night?
Check the thermostat, breaker, and filter first, since simple issues cause many overnight failures. If the system still will not run, Charest Heating and Cooling answers calls 24/7 in Berkley, MI, so you can reach a real person any hour.
What are the signs of poor indoor air quality at home?
Frequent dust buildup, lingering odors, stuffy rooms, and allergy symptoms that improve when you leave the house all suggest poor indoor air quality. Condensation on windows or a musty smell can also point to humidity or moisture problems worth investigating.
How can I lower my heating and cooling bills without replacing equipment?
Change filters on schedule, seal obvious air leaks around doors and windows, use thermostat setbacks, and keep vents clear of furniture. Annual maintenance and sealing leaky ducts also help your existing system deliver more comfort for every dollar spent.
Why does my home feel stuffy even when the temperature seems right?
Stuffiness often comes from high humidity, poor air circulation, or too little fresh air rather than temperature alone. An oversized air conditioner that shuts off too quickly can leave moisture behind, making rooms feel heavy even at comfortable settings.
How can I protect my HVAC system during a long winter vacation?
Keep the heat set to at least 55 degrees to protect pipes, install a fresh filter before leaving, and ask a neighbor to check the house. A smart thermostat can alert you to temperature drops while you are away from home.
What causes strange noises coming from my vents?
Popping or ticking usually comes from ducts expanding and contracting with temperature changes. Whistling points to restricted airflow or a leak, while rattling may mean loose ductwork or debris. Persistent or worsening sounds deserve a professional inspection before they escalate.
Should I close vents in rooms I do not use?
Closing more than a few vents usually does more harm than good. It raises pressure in the ductwork, reduces airflow across the equipment, and can increase duct leakage. Zoning is a far better way to limit conditioning in unused rooms.
How do I choose between central air, a heat pump, and a mini split?
Central air suits homes with good ductwork and a gas furnace for heat. Heat pumps add efficient heating to the same ductwork, while mini splits work best in homes or rooms without ducts. Your layout and heating needs decide the fit.
