General Questions

What types of HVAC systems do you install?

We specialize in installing Daikin Fit systems—renowned for their energy efficiency, quiet performance, and compact design. We also offer a range of high-efficiency heat pumps, furnaces, and traditional split systems tailored to your home’s needs.

Is Mechollage a veteran-owned HVAC company?

Yes. Mechollage was founded by a U.S. Air Force veteran and remains locally operated with the same core values of discipline, integrity, and service. We’re proud to bring these principles to every home we work in across Hampton Roads.

What kind of warranty comes with my new system?

Our top Daikin systems like Rudee & Linkhorn packages come with up to 12 years of coverage for parts & labor when routine maintenance is done correctly.
