Where we work most
Forty-two communities with their own page, because their houses are different.
Each page covers the housing stock we see there, what tends to fail, and what we recommend. Not listed? We almost certainly cover you; call and ask.
Milwaukee
20 to 40 minutes. Bungalows, duplexes and Polish flats, steam and hot-water boilers, and condos and lofts downtown.
South Milwaukee
Our home base. Bungalows, Cape Cods and duplexes from the 1920s to 60s, plenty of boilers, often at your door within the hour.

Five minutes away. Pre-1960 bungalows and duplexes, gravity-converted ductwork, boilers and undersized return air.
St. Francis
Under ten minutes. Cape Cods and ranches with hot half-story bedrooms, plus lakefront condos with association rules.
Bay View
Ten minutes up Kinnickinnic. Polish flats, duplexes and boilers in low, tight basements that punish shortcuts.
Oak Creek
Ten minutes. Late-1990s to 2010s homes whose builder-grade systems are now failing, and finished basements that run cold.
Franklin

Greendale
Fifteen minutes. Original 1930s village homes with tight mechanical rooms, postwar ranches and newer subdivisions.
Greenfield
Fifteen minutes. 1950s to 70s ranches and split-levels on their third furnace, and a large condo population.
West Allis
Twenty minutes. One of the densest older suburbs in the county: bungalows, duplexes and a lot of hot-water boilers.
Wauwatosa
Twenty-five minutes. Some of the best-kept 1910s to 40s houses around, many still on steam or hot-water boilers.
Hales Corners
About 20 minutes. 1950s to 70s ranches, Cape Cods and split-levels, half-story bedrooms and cold finished basements.
New Berlin
About 25 minutes. 1960s to 90s ranches, split-levels and colonials, many on their second furnace and original AC.
Brookfield
About 25 minutes. Mid-century ranches near Bluemound and large two-story homes with two systems further west.
Muskego
About 25 minutes. Lake homes added onto over the years, and subdivisions whose builder-grade systems are wearing out.
Shorewood
About 25 minutes. Duplexes, Tudors and Colonials on narrow lots, with steam and hot-water boilers and tight basements.
West Milwaukee
About 25 minutes. A square mile of older homes built around the factories, plus condos and apartments along Miller Park Way.
Whitefish Bay
About 30 minutes. 1920s to 50s Colonials, Tudors and Cape Cods, radiators, and second floors that never cool down.
Glendale
About 30 minutes. Postwar ranches and split-levels, plus offices, shops and restaurants with rooftop units.
Fox Point
About 30 minutes. A lakefront village with boilers in older homes, two-system houses and second floors that run warm.
Elm Grove
About 30 minutes. Postwar homes on large lots, many remodeled and added onto, with two systems in the larger houses.
Waukesha
About 30 minutes. Radiator-heated homes near downtown, mid-century ranches and newer subdivisions on the edges.
Bayside
About 30 minutes. Lakeside homes that began as cabins near Fairy Chasm, postwar houses on large lots, by the Audubon Nature Center.
River Hills
About 30 minutes. Estates on five acres and up, no commercial district in the village, often two or three systems per house.
Brown Deer
About 35 minutes. 1950s three-bedroom homes with central air added later, and many multi-family buildings.
Pewaukee
About 35 minutes. Lake homes winterized one addition at a time, and 1990s subdivisions at replacement age.
Menomonee Falls
35 to 40 minutes. Mid-century ranches, newer subdivisions to the north and west, and a big commercial base.
Mukwonago
About 40 minutes. Newer subdivisions, older homes near the village center and houses around the Phantom Lakes.

Hartland
About 40 minutes. Winterized lake cottages near Nagawicka and North Lake, plus postwar subdivisions.

About 50 minutes. Lake houses on Lac La Belle and Oconomowoc Lake, older homes near downtown, newer subdivisions.
Big Bend
About 40 minutes. Rural lots along the Fox River with pole barns and detached garages, plus farmhouses on their second or third system since the 1970s.
Lannon
About 50 minutes. Stone quarry village with new construction alongside homes built for quarry and mill families back to the 1890s.

About 40 minutes. A 1909 rail yard town with Waukesha County’s highest share of rental housing, plus small commercial and light-industrial calls.
Merton
About 50 minutes. Population nearly tripled from 1990 to 2010, so most homes run original builder-grade systems, often undersized after a finished lower level.
Nashotah
About 50 minutes. More than half the homes came from a 1990s subdivision boom, and that original builder-grade equipment is now reaching replacement age.
Chenequa
About 50 minutes. Pine Lake estates on 2 to 4.5-acre lots, many converted from summer cottages and now running two heating systems.
Wales
About 50 minutes. Postwar and 1970s-80s subdivisions, so most furnaces and AC units here are on their second or third system.
Dousman
About 60 minutes. Housing nearly doubled in the 2000s, and almost one in five households here is a senior living alone.
Eagle
About 60 minutes. Historic 1800s homes near Old World Wisconsin with added-on ductwork, plus newer construction still on original builder-grade equipment.
North Prairie
About 60 minutes. A historic core, converted farmhouses and newer upscale subdivisions like the Broadlands, each with its own story in the mechanical room.

The same standard in every zip code
You get an honest diagnosis first. If a part fixes it, we tell you that. If the system is at the end of its life, we tell you that too and explain why, with the numbers from the actual test, not a sales pitch. Installs are clean: proper venting, correct sizing, sealed connections, full startup and testing before we leave. Financing is available through Wells Fargo, Marine Credit Union, or in-house.
Installs, estimates and non-urgent repairs are scheduled Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with weekends by appointment. The emergency line is answered 24/7, any day.

Good to know
Service area questions
How is a service call priced out in Waukesha County?
The same as everywhere else we work: the service call is $99 on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and $179 nights, weekends and holidays, anywhere in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties, and the repair is a flat-rate price you approve before any work starts. Nothing gets added afterwards.
How fast can you get here?
Inside Milwaukee County, usually the same day, and often within a couple of hours for no-heat and no-cool calls. Waukesha County runs a little longer depending on the community. We give you a real window when you call.
My town is not on the list. Do you still cover it?
Almost certainly, if it is in Milwaukee County or Waukesha County. Call or text 414-595-5175 and we will confirm in ten seconds.
Do you pull permits in every municipality?
Yes, whenever the work requires one. We handle the paperwork with the city or village and schedule the inspection.
