Furnace & AC Maintenance in Columbia Heights, MN
Tune-ups in Columbia Heights cost $129 for one furnace or one air conditioner, or $219 when we do both on the same visit. We clean and test the burners, ignition, venting, blower and coil, check for carbon monoxide, and tell you what we found before we leave.
Tune-ups in Columbia Heights homes
A bungalow near Central Avenue usually has a gas furnace bolted onto the old gravity ducts, or a boiler still feeding the original cast-iron radiators. The fall visit on a furnace covers the flame sensor, igniter and inducer, a draft and CO check at the chimney, and a look at the single large return that serves the whole house. Cramped basements make a dirty burner compartment easy to miss, so the panels come off for a look.
Boiler homes get a separate list: water pressure, the circulator that tends to seize after a quiet summer, and zone valves that stick shut and leave one room cold. In spring, the AC in a postwar rambler is a coil stacked on the furnace, so we rinse it, clear the condensate line and look at the condenser outside.

Tune-ups in Columbia Heights: questions
I have radiators in my Columbia Heights bungalow. Does a boiler tune-up cost the same?
Not always: a boiler tune-up falls in our $129–$349 maintenance range, and we confirm the number when you call 612-429-3465. The visit covers system pressure, the expansion tank, the relief valve, the circulator and the zone valves. Doing it in early fall means a seized pump or a stuck valve gets found before the first cold week.
Should I tune up the furnace and the add-on AC on my Columbia Heights rambler separately?
Do the furnace in fall and the AC in spring, or book both at $219 in one visit. The AC coil sits on the furnace in many Columbia Heights ramblers, so the two share a blower and a drain. Cleaning the blower and coil once helps heating and cooling, and the condensate line gets checked before July.
