Furnace & AC Maintenance in Mendota Heights, MN
Mendota Heights tune-ups run $129 for one furnace or one air conditioner and $219 for both, with combustion and refrigerant checks. We clean, test combustion and safety controls, measure airflow and refrigerant, and report on what is wearing.
Tune-ups in Mendota Heights homes
A lot of Mendota Heights houses went up in the 1980s and 90s, so many are on a second furnace and a second air conditioner. Past 20 years old, the inducer, heat exchanger and control board are what we test hardest, and we say plainly whether another season is a fair bet. We confirm both PVC pipes are clear of leaves and drifts and show you what to watch after a heavy snow.
Wooded lots shape the spring visit. Seeds and leaves collect in condensers, so we rinse the coil from the inside out and check the clearances. Houses tightened by the airport sound insulation program get a combustion-air check, and in the Somerset area, where some lots run on private septic, we look at where a high-efficiency furnace's condensate drains and whether a neutralizer is in line.

Tune-ups in Mendota Heights: questions
My Mendota Heights furnace is over 20 years old. Is a tune-up still worth $129?
Usually, because the tune-up is how you learn how much life is left. We test the heat exchanger, inducer, pressure switch and control board and measure temperature rise. If the exchanger is cracked or several parts are failing, we tell you before winter and quote a replacement instead of a repair that won't last. If the furnace is healthy, you go into winter knowing it.
Do the trees around my Mendota Heights house affect AC maintenance?
They do. Seeds and leaves collect on the condenser coil and in the base of the unit, which raises head pressure and wears the compressor. At the tune-up we rinse from the inside out, clear debris, check the fan motor and capacitor, and make sure the unit has room to breathe.
