What heating systems do St. Anthony homes have?

The core of St. Anthony is single-family housing from roughly 1946 to 1965: ramblers and split-levels with full basements, furnaces that have been replaced at least once or twice, water heaters that often still vent up the original chimney, and central air added to ducts laid out for heat. Return ducts tend to be undersized for cooling. The newest housing is at Silver Lake Village, where apartments, condominiums and cottage-style homes replaced the Apache Plaza mall starting in 2004.

St. Anthony homes heat with CenterPoint Energy natural gas and draw their electricity from Xcel Energy.

What are St. Anthony homes like to heat and cool?

In 1872 Minneapolis absorbed most of old St. Anthony, including much of today's Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis, and roughly 1,000 acres of farmland to the north kept the name. After World War II a developer eyed land near St. Anthony Boulevard and asked Minneapolis to annex it so the houses could get city utilities. Residents voted 167 to 57 in 1945 to incorporate instead, and the state Supreme Court upheld the new village in March 1946. Farms turned into house lots quickly: about 1,400 people lived here in 1950, 5,100 in 1960 and more than 9,200 in 1970.

In the late 1950s the village annexed three sections of the old township on the Ramsey County side, about 600 acres, and part of that land became Apache Plaza, which opened in 1961 as one of the first enclosed malls in the country. Most of the single-family housing went up in that one 20-year burst, so furnace and AC replacements tend to arrive in waves. After the mall came down, Silver Lake Village rose on the site from 2004 with apartments, condominiums and cottage-style homes, and their original equipment is nearing its first replacement.

What goes wrong with heating in St. Anthony in winter?

When a St. Anthony house trades its 80% furnace for a 96% model, the two PVC pipes usually leave through the rim joist into a side yard. On subzero nights the exhaust plume can build ice at the termination, and snow thrown from the driveway or sliding off the roof can bury the intake. Either one opens the pressure switch, and the furnace shuts itself down. Keep that side yard clear, and if a pipe ices up every cold snap, have its slope and length checked.

What goes wrong with cooling in St. Anthony in summer?

In many St. Anthony houses the central air came years after the house, and the ducts and registers it blows through were placed for winter heat. Rooms at the ends of the runs lag, and a basement that stays cool can turn clammy by August, especially near Silver Lake. Checking blower speed and return capacity usually does more than a colder thermostat setting. Some older condensers still hold R-22, which changes the math on any refrigerant leak.

Which utilities and rebates apply in St. Anthony?

St. Anthony homes are CenterPoint Energy gas customers and Xcel Energy electric customers. CenterPoint rebates high-efficiency furnaces and boilers whichever dealer installs them, and its ducted heat pump rebate only covers a heat pump teamed with a gas furnace. Some of Xcel's AC and heat pump rebates require a registered contractor, so check before you sign.

Our St. Anthony house is on the Ramsey County side. Does that change our utilities or rebates?

No. About 3,650 of the city's residents live on the Ramsey County side, and the city lists CenterPoint Energy for gas and Xcel Energy for electricity without splitting by county, so the same utility rebates apply anywhere in St. Anthony. What does change is energy assistance: for help with heating bills, the city refers Ramsey County households to the Community Action Partnership of Ramsey and Washington Counties and Hennepin County households to the Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County.

Our Silver Lake Village home went up in the mid-2000s. Is the original furnace near the end?

Not necessarily. A furnace from the mid-2000s is old enough for parts to start failing, but age alone isn't a reason to replace it. Igniters, inducer motors, pressure switches and condensate traps are ordinary repairs on a furnace that old. If the heat exchanger is cracked, repairs keep stacking up, or the matching AC is failing too, replacing both together can make sense. Check what your association requires before any exterior work.

Does St. Anthony's Energy Action Plan pay toward a new furnace or heat pump?

Not directly, as far as the city's pages show. The plan, built with Xcel Energy's Partners in Energy program, sets goals and steers residents to existing programs. Equipment money comes from the utilities, not the plan. A Home Energy Squad visit, if you qualify, is a sensible first step before sizing new equipment.

Most St. Anthony houses went up between 1946 and 1965. What should a buyer have checked on the heating and cooling?

Start with the furnace's age and heat exchanger; a house this old is usually on its second or third furnace. Have the chimney draft-tested if anything still vents into it. Read the AC nameplate for the refrigerant, because an R-22 unit with a leak usually points to replacement. Look at the return ducts too, since they were sized for heat and can starve a modern blower. State law requires CO alarms within 10 feet of bedrooms.
