I'm the owner and operator of RP Carder Mechanical LLC. I've been doing heating and air conditioning work for over 15 years, and formed my company in 2004. We specialize in designing, engineering, installing and maintaining complete comfort systems for new and existing buildings, both residential and commercial. RP Carder Mechanical is built on my values of professional customer care, technical expertise and practical experience. I'm often asked how I got into this business, and the simple answer is that I love what I do.
One of our favorite kinds of projects is installing Radiant Floor Heating Systems. RP Carder Mechanical are expert installers of systems in both residential homes and commercial buildings. It can be installed in existing homes and buildings, as well as new. Hydronic (liquid) systems are the most popular and cost-effective radiant heating systems for cold climates like Michigan. Hydronic radiant floor systems pump heated water from a boiler through tubing laid in a pattern under the floor. A lot of flexibility can be built in to control the flow of hot water through each tubing loop by using zoning valves or pumps and thermostats to regulate room temperatures.
Let RP Carder design and estimate the best heating and cooling system for your unique home or building. Unlike basic spec homes that are built from repeatable plans, pre-designed plans, custom homes and buildings need custom designed heating & cooling systems, too. Custom-designed homes may have the perfect floor plan and spaces for your family, but may incorporate some hard to heat and/or cool rooms. Most unique homes have a variety of alternatives available for heating and cooling. At RP Carder Mechanical we enjoy helping you assess which alternatives will work for you.
Programmable, energy-efficient thermostats are an easy and desirable retrofit in most homes today. They can be connected with most heating and cooling systems. Nexia Diagnostics allows RP Carder Mechanical to remotely monitor your home's HVAC system performance using real-time data. In many cases we can identify a problem before our customer realizes its an issue. This allows us to be Proactive not Reactive which saves our customers money in the long run. If you're a residential or commercial customer, flexible zone control throughout your home or building is a must.
Keep cool and comfortable when it heats up outside with an air conditioner you can rely on. Properly functioning home air conditioners and central air conditioners cool the hottest days with reliability and efficiency you can count on. At RP Carder Mechanical we have repaired or installed most air conditioning solutions available, and have seen the changes over the years. Using our experience and knowledge, we know how to gauge what works best for your home or business and find the perfect solution to fit your needs and budget.
Our interest and capabilities range from residential to large-scale commercial and everything in between. We have additional experience with Federal jobs and requirements through multiple U.S. Coast Guard projects. We work with A.O. Smith, Lochinvar, Bradford White, and Navien to find the perfect fit for your technical, efficiency and economical requirements. We also supply and install Viessman Domestic Hot Water Tanks.
Most U.S. homes and properties are heated with either furnaces or boilers. Furnaces heat air and distribute the heated air through the house using ducts. Boilers heat water, and provide either hot water or steam for heating. Steam is distributed via pipes to steam radiators, and hot water can be distributed via baseboard radiators or radiant floor heating systems, or can heat air via a coil. Let the Professionals at RP Carder Mechanical assist you with the proper selection of your new energy efficient system.
While heat pumps may not be the ideal heating solution for every situation, they do offer an energy-efficient alternative to your heating and cooling. We can service your existing heat pump, or offer our expert advice on whether or not a heat pump is good option for you. Heat pumps are designed to control the direction of heat flow by absorbing heat from a cold space and release it to a warmer one, and vice-versa. They work much like your refrigerator, but in the opposite direction. It employs the same basic principle, but releases heat into the space rather than out to the surrounding environment.

We are a big fan of Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating products, which can be used to heat a single room or multiple rooms. Their split-zoning systems are specifically designed to improve the comfort level in an uncomfortably hot or cold room of an existing building. Because they don't require duct work, they're the perfect heating and cooling systems for renovating older buildings that were constructed before air conditioning was available - even those with plaster walls and brick facades. The versatility and variety of applications for Mitsubishi Electric systems are virtually unlimited.
We had a 4-zone split AC system in installed by RP Carder at our home. Ryan was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. I felt comfortable asking questions, and you can tell he puts a lot of thought and consideration into all aspects of the work. We went from initial quote to job finished in two weeks, and this includes him coordinating with an electrical upgrade. His recommended contractor did a great job as well. Ryan was able to work with my schedule: most of the work was performed when I was away, and I never felt out of the loop or concerned about leaving him or his staff alone in my home. Ryan and his staff were friendly, professional, and paid attention to detail, including clean-up, not letting our cats get out, and locking up when done. Cosmetically, the system looks great and I am happy with its performance thus-far. He and his staff performed all of the quoted work in a timely manner and under budget, I really couldn't have asked for more. I would confidently recommend RP Carder to anyone.
Ryan is great to work with and will investigate any issue. Thanks for keeping my building hot in the winter and cool in the summer.

Another one in the books. We started this large scale radiant project in Beverly Hills MI approximately 16 months ago.
