Reviews From Our Customers

Peter was an absolute lifesaver. My A/C decided it had officially had enough around midnight during one of the hottest days of the year, with a heat advisory and temperatures reaching around 115° with the heat index. By the next morning, parts of my house had climbed into the 90-95° range, so I was incredibly relieved when a colleague recommended Peter. He was able to fit me in the very same day and gave me a 4:00-7:00 PM arrival window. Around 2:00 PM, he even called to touch base, gather a little more information about what was happening, and let me know we were still on schedule. That level of communication alone was greatly appreciated. Peter arrived around 5:30 PM and was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. I showed him how the outdoor unit would fail to start when I flipped the breaker back on, ending with a large spark from the lower portion of the unit. Rather than simply replacing parts, he took the time to explain exactly what he found, showed me the failed component, and walked me through his diagnosis so I understood what had happened. Before performing any work, he clearly explained the cost of both the replacement blower motor and the installation. Fortunately, he already had the correct blower motor stocked in his truck, which meant there was no waiting on parts. Within about an hour to an hour and a half, everything was repaired and my vents were blowing cold air again. It’s hard to overstate how grateful I was. During a brutal heat wave, same-day service like this is worth its weight in gold. Peter’s professionalism, honesty, communication, and efficiency made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for an HVAC technician they can trust.
I highly recommend Peter and his team at Elite Degrees Cooling for any heating and cooling needs in the tri-county area. I am a senior homeowner who purchased a new furnace in 2022 through an Oakland County–sponsored program. Unfortunately, the furnace has been a nightmare from the start, breaking down repeatedly year after year. On January 20, 2026, during 20-degree weather, the furnace failed for the fifth time this year, leaving me without heat for 13 days. The original contractor and subcontractor did not respond. I contacted Condor directly and received a call back from Peter at Elite Degrees Cooling. He was blindsided by the situation but stepped in immediately and went above and beyond to help. Peter made two service visits, accurately diagnosed the issue, and replaced both the motherboard and the motor (for the fourth time). Peter was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and respectful throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything and treated me with dignity during a very stressful situation. After years of ongoing problems, Peter was the first person who truly made a difference. If you want honest, skilled, and compassionate service, I highly recommend Peter and Elite Degrees Cooling. — Ki H.
I’m super impressed with this company despite not having any work completed at my home yet. My friend’s AC stopped working the other day when it was blazing hot outside. She called a different company and was told she would hear back from them the next day. Per my friend’s medical situation, it was important to get this fixed ASAP. I did some research online and came across this company and its impressive reviews. I called and talked to Peter and explained the situation. He agreed to extend his work day, which I can only imagine had been extra long already, to go to my friend’s house right away. Her air conditioner was fixed in record time and she was charged a fair price for the repair. I know who I’ll be calling the next time I have any HVAC issues! Thank you, Peter. Looking forward to meeting you when the time comes. 😄
No AC in heat spell. Peter was very courteous and professional. Elite heating and cooling was able to come fix my air conditioner on the day it stopped working. Amazing since every company I called could not come out until Monday. Today is Thursday. Thank you Elite and thanks a whole bunch Peter
Ask for Frank A!!!! He came out to check my air conditioning and was fantastic from start to finish. He was on time, professional, and clearly explained what was going on and what he was doing to fix it. He worked efficiently, respected my home, and made sure everything was running properly before he left. I feel a lot safer going into this hot week thanks to him. Highly recommend Frank A and this company. - Melissa

Our FAQ

How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

For optimal performance, it’s recommended to have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. Ideally, schedule maintenance before fall or before spring. This ensures your system is ready for the demands of either extreme temperature.

Can I perform heat pump maintenance myself?

While some basic tasks can be done by homeowners, such as cleaning or replacing filters, most maintenance should be done by a professional. Here’s why:

  • Specialized Tools and Knowledge: Many components, such as refrigerant levels and electrical systems, require specific tools and expertise to handle them safely.
  • Manufacturer Warranties: Some warranties require that maintenance be done by a licensed professional to remain valid.
  • Preventing Larger Issues: A professional can spot minor issues that may be difficult for homeowners to detect.
How can I prepare my heat pump for the upcoming season?

To ensure your heat pump is ready for the upcoming season, you can:

  • Clean or Replace Filters: Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency, so replace or clean them regularly.
  • Check the Thermostat Settings: Ensure the thermostat is set to the correct mode (cooling or heating) and that it’s working properly.
  • Clear the Area Around the Outdoor Unit: Remove debris, leaves, or snow from the outdoor unit to ensure proper airflow.
  • Schedule Professional Maintenance: A technician will ensure that your heat pump is in optimal condition for the season ahead.
What signs indicate my heat pump may need maintenance sooner than planned?

While annual maintenance is standard, some signs that indicate your heat pump may need attention include:

  • Strange Noises: Grinding, clicking, or hissing sounds may signal internal issues.
  • Inconsistent Temperatures: If your heat pump isn’t delivering consistent heating or cooling, it may need a tune-up.
  • Ice on the Outdoor Unit: This could indicate a problem with the defrost cycle or refrigerant levels.
  • Foul Odors: Musty or burning smells could indicate mold, overheating components, or a wiring issue.
  • Increased Energy Bills: If your energy costs spike without an apparent reason, it may be due to your heat pump running inefficiently.
How can I extend the life of my heat pump?

Neglecting heat pump maintenance can lead to:

  • Reduced Efficiency: The system may work harder, using more energy to heat or cool your home.
  • Frequent Repairs: Small problems can become big issues without regular checks.
  • Shorter Lifespan: An unmaintained system may fail prematurely, requiring a costly replacement sooner than expected.
  • Decreased Comfort: Poor performance can lead to inconsistent temperatures and discomfort.

How can I extend the life of my heat pump?


To extend the life of your heat pump:

  • Schedule Annual Professional Maintenance: Regular inspections and servicing keep your system running smoothly.
  • Change the Air Filters Regularly: Clogged filters restrict airflow and can cause the system to overheat.
  • Keep the Outdoor Unit Clear of Debris: Trim shrubs or remove leaves around the outdoor unit to allow proper airflow.
  • Monitor for Issues: Don’t ignore unusual noises, temperature inconsistencies, or other issues before they escalate.
