Furnace, boiler, AC and heat pump service in Minneapolis and St. Paul
Comfort, on a dial.
No heat at 9pm in January? Tell us what the house is doing. Below 20°F outside, you jump the queue.
Sticky July and the AC is blowing warm? We get it pulling humidity back out, usually the same day.
Right where you like it. Keep it there with a tune-up each spring and fall, and a flat price on any repair.
Drag the ring. The whole page follows.
Minneapolis houses get it from both sides.
January can sit below zero for a week. July can feel like a sauna by lunch. Same house, same ducts, two very different kinds of trouble.
What we fix, tune and install
Every visit starts with a diagnosis and a flat price. You decide before we touch a wrench.
Heating
Cooling
Air and ducts
Follow the air through a Minneapolis bungalow.
Scroll and it moves room by room. This loop is what we test on every visit.
- The thermostat calls.61° inside, 4° out. The living room thermostat asks the furnace for heat.79° and muggy inside. The thermostat asks for cooling.The house drifts a degree. The thermostat asks for a little help.
- Air comes back through the filter.Every room returns its air down the return duct and through the filter. A clogged filter is one of the most common reasons we find a furnace has shut itself off.
- The furnace lights.The coil pulls out heat and water.The system runs low and slow.Inducer, igniter, flame, then the heat exchanger warms up before the blower starts.The outdoor unit hums, the coil above the furnace gets cold, and humidity drips out as water.A gentle cycle, quieter and cheaper than a big swing.
- The blower pushes it into the trunk.The main supply duct runs along the basement ceiling. Leaky seams here heat your basement instead of your bedrooms.
- Main floor first.Short runs, quick results. Kitchen and living room come up to temperature in minutes.
- Upstairs is the long run.Bedrooms under the roof are the hardest rooms to keep comfortable. We set the dampers so they are not left behind.
- Every room within two degrees.That is the goal we measure against, room by room, not just at the furnace.
A no-heat night, start to finish.
An example of how a priority call runs. Times are typical, names are made up.
The house reads 58°. It's 4°F outside and the furnace keeps clicking without lighting.
Booked online in two minutes. No heat plus 4°F flags it as priority. No phone tree.
A text with a name. "Dana is on the way. Arriving 9:55 to 10:15."
Boots covered, straight to the basement. Dana checks the filter, the igniter and the flame sensor.
A flat price before any work. Dirty flame sensor and a tired igniter: $214, parts on the van.
Heat's back. 64° and climbing. Old parts in a bag on the counter so you can see them.
A morning check-in. "House at 70°? Reply here if anything sounds off."
Four promises, written on every invoice.
A flat price before we pick up a wrench.
You see the number, you say yes or no. The $89 visit is credited to any repair you approve.
A two-hour window and a heads-up text.
You get the tech's name and a text when they are 20 minutes away. No all-day waits.
Boot covers on. Old parts out.
Drop cloths down, cleanup done, and the old parts leave with us unless you want to keep them.
“Booked at 9pm in a cold snap and had heat back before 11. The text with Dana's name made it feel human.”
“They showed me the repair price and the replacement price side by side and told me to repair. Two winters later, still fine.”
“Our upstairs bedrooms finally match the main floor. Turns out a damper was shut since the day we moved in.”

Repair or replace? Our rule of thumb.
Multiply the system's age by the repair quote. Under 5,000, repair it. Over 5,000, it's worth seeing a replacement price too. It's a starting point, not a verdict.
4,200. Under 5,000: repair it and keep enjoying it.

Questions we hear every winter.
The furnace stopped and it's below zero. What do I do right now?
Check the thermostat is on Heat with fresh batteries, the furnace switch (it looks like a light switch near the furnace) is on, and the filter isn't packed with dust. Close blinds and doors to unused rooms. Never heat the house with the oven. Then book a priority window above, or call (612) 555-0148.
Do you charge more for nights and weekends?
After-hours priority is $79 on top of the visit. It's waived for plan members, and waived for everyone when it's below 0°F outside.
Can a heat pump really handle a Minneapolis January?
Cold-climate heat pumps keep heating well below zero, but on the very coldest nights we pair them with your furnace as backup. You get cheaper heat most of the winter without gambling on the polar vortex.
Do you still work on old boilers and radiators?
Yes, and we like them. Bleeding, balancing, circulator pumps, expansion tanks and zone valves. Plenty of 1920s Minneapolis homes still heat this way.
How do I know if I should repair or replace?
Try the rule of thumb in the pricing section. On any system over 15 years old we'll hand you both prices side by side, and we're fine with you picking the repair.
Are you licensed and insured?
Licensed, bonded and insured as a mechanical contractor in Minnesota, and every gas job is permitted and inspected by the city. Our license number is printed on every invoice.
