Question 1

Do you offer same-day HVAC service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We dispatch Mon–Sun · 7am–9pm and reserve daily windows for same-day no-heat and no-cool emergencies. Calls placed before 2pm typically get a same-day window.

Question 2

How much does a new high-efficiency furnace cost in Minneapolis?

Accepted Answer

Most full furnace replacements land between $4,500 and $9,500 installed depending on AFUE rating, BTU size, and venting. Every quote includes a Manual J load calculation, code-compliant venting, and a 2-year labor warranty.

Question 3

How much does a new central AC cost?

Accepted Answer

Standard SEER2 central AC replacements run $5,200–$9,800 installed depending on tonnage, brand, and line-set work. Heat pumps that handle both heating and cooling are typically in a similar range, often with utility rebates that offset the difference.

Question 4

Will a cold-climate heat pump actually work in Minnesota winters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Modern Mitsubishi, Trane, and Carrier cold-climate heat pumps maintain rated heating capacity down to about -15°F. For the coldest stretches, we typically pair them with your existing gas furnace as a dual-fuel system so you always have backup heat.

Question 5

Are you licensed and insured in MN and WI?

Accepted Answer

Yes — fully licensed and insured for HVAC contracting in both states. We pull permits on every applicable install.

Question 6

Do you charge a trip fee?

Accepted Answer

Our diagnostic fee starts at $89 and is fully waived when you approve the repair.

Question 7

What HVAC brands do you install and service?

Accepted Answer

Furnaces & AC: Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Bryant, Goodman, Amana, Rheem, American Standard, York. Heat pumps and ductless: Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu. We service every major brand regardless of who installed it.

Question 8

Do your installs come with a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Every install includes a 2-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer's parts coverage (typically 10 years on furnaces, AC, and heat pumps). Repairs carry a 1-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Question 9

Do you offer financing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 0% APR for 12 months on qualified HVAC installs, plus longer-term plans for full system replacements.

Question 10

What HVAC rebates are available?

Accepted Answer

Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy offer rebates on high-efficiency furnaces (96%+ AFUE), high-SEER2 AC, and cold-climate heat pumps. We handle the paperwork for you on qualifying installs.

Question 11

How often should I have my furnace tuned up?

Accepted Answer

Once a year, ideally in the fall before heating season. An annual tune-up catches failing ignitors, dirty flame sensors, and cracked heat exchangers before they cause a no-heat call in January.

Question 12

How often should I change my furnace filter?

Accepted Answer

A standard 1-inch pleated filter should be checked monthly and changed every 1–3 months depending on pets, dust, and occupancy. 4-inch and 5-inch media filters typically last 6–12 months.

Question 13

How do I schedule a service?

Accepted Answer

Call 651-395-3422 or use the contact form. A real human will answer Mon–Sun · 7am–9pm.

Question 14

Do you do emergency HVAC service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hold space in our daily schedule for no-heat and no-cool emergencies — priority dispatch with no overtime fees on nights or weekends.

Question 15

What's your service area?

Accepted Answer

The Twin Cities metro, Central MN, and Western WI — 32 cities across both states. See the Service Areas page for the full list.
