Trusted Plumbing and HVAC Contractor in Southeast Michigan
About Carter's
Working With Carter's Plumbing, Heating & Cooling
Hiring a contractor means deciding who gets to work on the systems your house depends on. What you want is someone with the field experience to diagnose the problem correctly the first time.
Carter’s Plumbing, Heating & Cooling was established in 2013 and works across Southeast Michigan, handling emergency pipe repairs, sewer camera inspections, furnace tune-ups, and central cooling installations. This page covers how we operate, how we evaluate equipment, and what a service call actually looks like.
Licensing and Standards
The Credentials Behind the Work
We have spent more than a decade building relationships across this service area. Mechanical work should not involve sales pressure or a technician talking past you in jargon, and that is most of what we have built the business on.
Our technicians work to the licensing standards set by the Michigan Bureau of Construction Codes, holding state mechanical licenses and Master Plumber credentials. Every technician who handles refrigerant carries EPA Section 608 universal certification. Those requirements exist because unsafe installations and code violations show up years later, usually at the worst possible time.
Pricing
Clear Communication and Upfront Pricing
A plumbing or HVAC failure is stressful enough without wondering what the bill will look like. Our technicians inspect the equipment thoroughly, then explain what they found in plain terms so you can make the call.
You get the full scope of the work before anything starts, and you approve it. If a furnace or a drain line needs one replacement part, we tell you that. We do not recommend a replacement when a repair will hold.
Ready When You Are

A plumbing inspection, a seasonal furnace tune-up, a water heater evaluation, or emergency service all start the same way. Our trucks run daily throughout Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, and Wayne counties, serving Waterford, White Lake, Clarkston, Commerce Township, Bloomfield Hills, and the surrounding communities.
Our Services
Practical Mechanical Services for Michigan Homes
Michigan runs humid summers and sub-zero winters through the same equipment, and that swing is what wears systems out early. Our trucks carry diagnostic instruments and common parts to every appointment, which is what lets most repairs finish on the first visit.
A small leak or a clogged line does damage to drywall, flooring, and framing long before anyone notices it. Our licensed plumbers handle installation, maintenance, and urgent repairs across residential plumbing systems:
- Water heater repair and installation for both storage tanks and tankless systems.
- Sump pump replacement and backup testing, which is what keeps a basement dry through spring rain and snowmelt.
- Whole-home water softeners that remove hard mineral scale before it restricts flow and corrodes valves.
- Drain clearing and mechanical rooter service for grease, mineral deposits, and tree root intrusion in main sewer lines.
- Sewer camera inspection to pinpoint fractures, bellies, and joint misalignment without digging up the lawn.
Climate Control
Heating, A/C, and Indoor Air Quality
Steady indoor comfort comes down to correct equipment sizing and regular maintenance. Our technicians assess duct pressure and heating equipment to hold temperature through a deep freeze, and A/C maintenance keeps a cooling system removing humidity rather than just dropping the temperature.
We also balance indoor moisture at both ends of the year, installing whole-home humidifiers for dry winter air and dehumidifiers for damp basements. When something fails outside business hours, our technicians provide 24/7 emergency service.
Honest Craftsmanship
