— Local HVAC context
How we size systems for Lester Prairie homes
Lester Prairie, Minnesota runs a 99% winter design temperature near -11°F and roughly 7,800 heating-degree days a year, so furnaces and heat pumps here get sized for ~7 months of real heating load. Summer design temps near 91°F keep central AC and dual-fuel heat pumps working through July and August humidity.
— What we actually see here
HVAC work in Lester Prairie, up close
In town, the common job is replacing a 1990s mid-efficiency furnace and finally adding a properly sized central AC where a window unit used to do the work. Outside the city limits, we are almost always working on propane equipment and LP-to-dual-fuel conversions, where a cold-climate heat pump carries the shoulder seasons and the propane furnace only fires below changeover.
