An Edina tune-up costs $129 for one furnace or one air conditioner, or $219 for a furnace and AC together, and rebuilt homes with two of each are priced per system. We clean, test and measure, then tell you what's wearing before we leave. Maintenance plans are available on request.
Edina tune-ups cover a wide spread of equipment. In the rebuilt homes, two high-efficiency furnaces and two variable-speed air conditioners are common, and condensing furnaces have their own list: the condensate trap and drain flushed, the PVC intake and exhaust checked for nests and frost, and the inducer pressure switch tested. Two-stage and variable-speed equipment also gets its settings checked, because a system stuck in low stage can run for hours without the house ever feeling right.
In the Country Club District and Morningside, older basements often hold older equipment, and there we pay more attention to the heat exchanger, the chimney draft and the gas connection. Whole-home humidifiers are common in these plaster-wall houses, so the pad or panel gets replaced and the setting checked against the outdoor temperature to keep windows from streaming in January. Condensers on close lots get their coils cleaned and their clearances checked.

Once a year, at the fall furnace tune-up, when we replace the water panel or pad and check the solenoid, drain and damper. Through the winter, keep the setting lower as it gets colder outside, roughly 25–35% in ordinary cold and lower in a deep freeze, or you'll see condensation on the windows. Many newer humidistats adjust automatically from an outdoor sensor.
Ours does. We run each zone and confirm its damper opens and closes, check the bypass or static-pressure setting so the blower isn't straining when only one zone calls, and look at the zone panel for fault lights. A damper stuck shut is a common reason one floor never catches up. The price is the same $129 or $219 as any tune-up, with repairs quoted before any work.
