FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC system rather than repair it?
Most heating and cooling equipment lasts 12–15 years. If your furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump in Blaine is near or past that age and you’re seeing rising energy bills, uneven temperatures, frequent breakdowns, or repair estimates over one-third of the cost of a new unit, replacement is usually the most economical long-term choice. A modern high-efficiency system can cut energy use by 20–40 %, quickly offsetting the investment while giving you better comfort and reliability.
What is included in your “stress-free” HVAC replacement process in Blaine?
We handle everything from start to finish: (1) a no-cost in-home assessment and load calculation to size the equipment correctly; (2) clear, upfront pricing with multiple system options; (3) scheduling at a time that works for you; (4) obtaining all required City of Blaine permits; (5) professional removal and environmentally responsible disposal of your old equipment; (6) expert installation by NATE-certified technicians; (7) post-installation start-up, testing, and homeowner orientation; and (8) registration of all warranties and completion of rebate paperwork. You enjoy one point of contact and zero surprise charges.
How long does a typical furnace or air-conditioner replacement take?
Most standard replacements are completed in a single day. Our crew arrives between 8–9 a.m., removes the old unit, makes any sheet-metal or electrical upgrades, sets the new equipment, connects refrigerant and condensate lines, and performs start-up testing. By late afternoon your new system is heating or cooling your home. Larger projects—such as adding zoning, duct modifications, or a full dual-fuel setup—may require a second day, but we always leave you with temporary heating or cooling overnight if needed.
Do I need a permit for HVAC replacement in Blaine, and will you take care of it?
Yes. The City of Blaine requires a mechanical permit for any furnace, air-conditioner, or heat-pump replacement to ensure the work meets Minnesota Mechanical Code, electrical, and safety standards. Our office submits the application, pays the fee, and schedules the final inspection with the city inspector after the installation. You receive a copy of the signed-off permit for your records, which also protects your home value when it’s time to sell.
What financing or rebate options are available for new high-efficiency systems?
We partner with several lenders to offer 0 % APR plans for up to 18 months or low-fixed-rate terms up to 120 months, allowing you to replace your system for as little as $85–$150 per month. Blaine homeowners served by Xcel Energy or CenterPoint Energy can qualify for utility rebates ranging from $200 to $1,700 depending on AFUE, SEER2, and HSPF ratings. In addition, the federal Inflation Reduction Act provides tax credits of 30 % (up to $600 for qualified A/C or $2,000 for heat pumps) and potential income-based point-of-sale rebates. We complete all paperwork so you don’t leave money on the table.
What kind of warranties and post-installation support do you offer?
All systems include a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty and our exclusive 12-year labor warranty when you register the equipment (we do this for you). You’ll also receive our 1-year “Total Comfort” guarantee: if the new system fails to maintain the temperature we promised, we’ll make unlimited adjustments at no charge, or buy the unit back. Annual maintenance reminders, priority service, and discounted tune-ups are available through our Comfort Club, ensuring your new HVAC equipment in Blaine runs efficiently for decades.
