Furnace & AC Maintenance in Shakopee, MN
In Shakopee, a tune-up runs $129 for one furnace or one air conditioner, or $219 for both in a single visit. We clean the burners or coil, test the safeties and airflow, and measure temperature rise, then tell you what is wearing before we leave.
Tune-ups in Shakopee homes
Shakopee has two kinds of tune-up. The subdivisions south of the river valley went up from the mid-1990s through the 2000s, and the builder-grade furnaces and condensers in them are at or near replacement age. On those we look hardest at what fails first: the inducer motor, the condensate trap and drain on a condensing furnace, and the capacitor and contactor on the AC, which are the usual July failures.
Near downtown and First Avenue, the work changes. Some houses there still run boilers, with small basements and old chimneys, so a fall visit means testing the relief valve, listening to the circulator and checking the flue draft. Homes with an air exchanger get a look at it in spring, since it pulls humid outdoor air in all summer. Shops and restaurants with rooftop units get their gas heat sections checked before November.

Tune-ups in Shakopee: questions
My Shakopee house has a boiler near downtown. Is a boiler tune-up part of the $129 visit?
Boiler maintenance falls in our $129–$349 maintenance range, confirmed when you book. In older Shakopee houses we pay attention to the relief valve, the circulator, the flue and the chimney, and we bleed radiators that have air in them. Fall is the right time, before the first cold week shows what is worn.
Can you tune up the rooftop units at my Shakopee shop or restaurant?
Yes, we do light-commercial service on rooftop units and commercial furnaces. Before November we check the gas heat section, and we make sure the economizer damper closes, because one stuck open on a subzero day can freeze coils and pipes inside the building. Call 612-429-3465 and we will schedule it, since pricing differs from a home tune-up.
