Twin Cities HVAC company for heating and cooling repair

  • Flat-rate pricing
  • Open 7 days
  • Written warranty

Central Minnesota Heating and Cooling is a Twin Cities HVAC company owned by Eric Brown. We are open 7 days, 7am–9pm, at 612-429-3465, and have repaired and replaced furnaces, air conditioners and boilers in Minneapolis since 2009. From the city we work in every direction out to about 50 miles, including Saint Paul, the Lake Minnetonka towns, Watertown and the Crow River, Elk River and Monticello, Northfield and Red Wing, and Hudson and River Falls across the St. Croix. The price list is the same in all of them.

A service call starts with a $79 trip charge. The technician finds the fault, shows you what failed and writes down the price before touching anything. Repairs carry a 1-year parts-and-labor warranty; new installs carry 2 years on labor on top of the manufacturer's parts coverage.

Most calls fall into three buckets: furnace repair for no-heat and short-cycling problems, AC repair for systems that run but don't cool, and furnace and AC tune-ups to catch problems before the season starts.

Minnesota is hard on equipment. A furnace here runs from October into May, condensing furnaces can ice up their vent pipes in a cold snap, and a humid July finds every undersized air conditioner. We size replacements with a Manual J load calculation instead of copying the old nameplate.

Heating and cooling for Minneapolis homes

Much of Minneapolis was built before 1940, and it shows in the basement. We work on converted gravity systems with oversized ducts, hot-water and steam boilers feeding cast-iron radiators, 80% furnaces sharing a chimney with the water heater, and story-and-a-half bungalows whose upstairs never got a duct. Newer condos and townhomes downtown and in the North Loop bring their own puzzles: tight mechanical closets, rooftop condensers and ductless mini-splits.

Gas in Minneapolis comes from CenterPoint Energy and electricity from Xcel Energy, so rebate paperwork usually runs through those two programs, and replacements need a City of Minneapolis mechanical permit.

Neighborhoods we cover: Linden Hills · Longfellow · Nokomis · Northeast · Powderhorn · Uptown and every other Minneapolis neighborhood. Minneapolis service details

Heating and cooling for Saint Paul homes

Most Saint Paul houses predate 1950. The Victorians around Summit Hill and Cathedral Hill are often still heated by steam or hot-water radiators, and many 1910s and 1920s bungalows were converted to forced air long ago on their original ducts. Natural gas comes from Xcel Energy, and the price list is the same written, flat-rate one we use in Minneapolis. Saint Paul service details
