Fremont is the Sandusky County seat, north of Tiffin along the same Sandusky River. It is home to the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library and Museums at Spiegel Grove, and to established neighborhoods of older homes on both sides of the river.
Fremont’s housing runs from 19th- and early-20th-century homes near downtown and Spiegel Grove to postwar neighborhoods and newer subdivisions on the edges of the city. Older homes bring boilers and tired ductwork; newer ones bring heat pumps, high-efficiency furnaces and finished basements.
Allegiance Mechanical serves Fremont homes and businesses with heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical and generators, and with honest, straightforward quotes.
Fremont · Sandusky County
What we see in Fremont homes
River-town basements
Older homes near the river often have damp basements, so sump pumps, drain lines and dehumidification come up often.
Boiler homes
Hot-water heat in older houses, sometimes paired with window units that a mini-split can replace.
Furnace and AC replacement
Postwar homes on their second or third system, where a matched furnace and air conditioner makes the biggest difference.
Generators
Homes that depend on a sump pump during storms are good candidates for a standby generator.
Local notes
Good to know in Fremont.
Spring water
Snowmelt and heavy spring rain keep sump pumps working. A battery backup or a standby generator keeps a basement dry when the power fails.
Weather
Lake Erie is not far to the north, and Fremont gets its share of winter wind, ice and summer thunderstorms.
Your utility
Check your bill for your electric and gas providers. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.

Does Allegiance Mechanical work in Fremont?

Call 567-207-5984 for furnace, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical or generator work.
Can a standby generator run my sump pump in an outage?
Yes. A whole-house standby generator sized for the home will run the sump pump along with the furnace, refrigerator and other essentials, starting automatically when the power goes out.
It must be installed with a transfer switch. Never plug a portable generator into a house outlet or run one in a garage or basement.
Should I replace window air conditioners in my older Fremont home?
If you are tired of noisy window units, a ductless mini-split is usually the best replacement in a home with boiler heat and no ducts. It is quieter, more efficient and can also heat in milder weather.
One outdoor unit can serve several rooms, and nothing blocks the windows.
