About Zilka Heating and Cooling
Zilka Heating and Cooling serves Sylvan Lake and Oakland County with 24/7 emergency response and a 4.8-star average across 262 reviews. The company handles air conditioning, heating, boilers, ductless systems, and indoor air quality for residential and light commercial clients. Founded in 1946 by Ernest Zilka, the business remains family-operated under the third generation, now led by Jeremy Forcier and Jessica Stites.
The contractor partners with Tempstar, Trane, and Mitsubishi, offering equipment ranging from traditional gas furnaces to modern ductless heat pumps. Their Zilka Comfort Club provides scheduled maintenance plans, and financing options help homeowners manage replacement costs. Service technicians hold certifications in home automation and zone control systems, enabling customized comfort solutions for multi-story homes and complex layouts.
Reviewers consistently mention specific technicians who delivered beyond expectations. One customer described how Jack diagnosed a furnace issue in a single visit and discovered a gas line that had been inadvertently turned off, restoring heat the same day. Another reviewer noted that Lalit arrived promptly for maintenance, explained each step of the process, and inspected the attic AC unit without being asked. A third customer praised Jeremy for fitting them into his schedule on short notice before a vacation, ensuring their new oven's duct blower functioned properly.
