Fire Protection
Our connections make buildings safe.
Our team designs, installs and services fire protection systems to protect people and property. Since 1946, our family has been the mechanical contractor of choice for fire protection because we have the expertise and experience to get the job done right. It may also be due to an uncompromising focus on safety and quality, meticulous project management, and a passion for personal client service that extends beyond project delivery.
Get to know us. We are Great Lakes Plumbing and Heating and we’re building connections for what’s possible.
For Great Lakes, fire protection has to be done right, every client, every project.
That’s a non-negotiable for us, which is why we have the most experienced team of fire safety professionals in the Chicago metropolitan area.

We’re also dedicated to safety and quality, communicating with all levels, and delivering as designed — on time and on budget.
