Our Team Brings Experience and Heart

When you call The Climate Doctor, you’re not getting a call center. You’re getting people you can count on. We’re the certified HVAC contractors who actually show up. We get to know your home, your comfort needs, and your system inside and out.

We’re the HVAC company in Caseville MI, that believes every job deserves care, skill, and follow-through.

Stephen Rathje, Owner & Lead Technician

Stephen started this company back in 2019 with a van, a toolbelt, and a plan to treat people right. He’s been in HVAC for over 20 years, but he still takes most calls himself. He’s the one who walks into freezing homes in the middle of the night and the one who shakes your hand when the job is done right.

His motto? “We’ve got a PhD in HVAC.” And it shows

The Crew You Can Count On

Behind every repair, every install, every maintenance plan, there’s a small, skilled crew making it happen. We’re the local HVAC contractors who check your filter before checking our watch. We take our time to get it right and make sure you know what’s going on the whole way through.

Our tight-knit team treats every home like it’s our own. Because when your neighbors trust you with their comfort, you don’t take shortcuts.
