Furnace & AC Maintenance in Shorewood, MN
A furnace or AC tune-up in Shorewood starts at $129, and both together are $219. We test and clean each system, and on wooded lots we check the condenser for seeds, leaves and roof runoff.
Tune-ups in Shorewood homes
Shorewood's furnaces are often on their third replacement but still use the original galvanized ductwork, so the tune-up spends time on airflow: filter, blower speed, duct joints and returns. Furnaces in unheated garages or crawlspaces show heat loss through the ducts in a long cold spell, and we point it out. We test the igniter, flame sensor and inducer, clean the burners and check the heat exchanger and the vent.
On the air-conditioning side, the heavy tree cover shades the houses but drops seeds, leaves and cottonwood fluff into the coil, and keeps the ground damp around outdoor units, so we clean the coil and check the charge. Larger lakeshore homes with two systems and an ERV get each system and the ERV core and filters done. Walkout lower levels that smell musty by August may need a dehumidifier ducted into the return, which we check for drainage and filter condition at the same visit.

Tune-ups in Shorewood: questions
Why does our Shorewood condenser need cleaning more than a neighbor's?
Heavy tree cover drops seeds, leaves and cottonwood fluff into the coil, and the damp ground around the unit holds debris. A clogged coil runs hotter and cools less. We clean it at the tune-up, and you can rinse it gently with a hose, never a pressure washer, after the fluff stops falling.
What do you do for an ERV in a larger Shorewood lake home?
We clean or replace the filters, clean the core, check the fans, drains and ducts, and confirm the controls run as set. In humid weather, setting the ERV to low or intermittent helps the AC keep up. The price depends on the equipment, and we confirm it when you book.
