Modern comfort in Hennepin County's old houses
Minneapolis homes were built around radiators and gravity ducts, and a century later their owners are trying to add air conditioning to houses that never planned for it. Boilers, high-velocity systems, ductless heads in plaster-walled bedrooms: Hennepin County HVAC is its own specialty.
A contractor who works these houses daily knows which solution fits which era without tearing the place apart. The benefit is a comfortable second floor in July and an efficient boiler in January, with the plaster and woodwork intact.

How much does a furnace or AC cost in Wayzata?
Furnace replacement in the area typically runs $2,800 to $6,000 and central AC $3,200 to $7,000, based on system size, efficiency, and ductwork.
When should I replace my furnace in Wayzata?
Before it fails in deep winter. Plan a replacement in the off-season when local HVAC crews have more room and you are not without heat.
What size heating system does a Wayzata home need?
The right size for a Wayzata home comes from a load calculation, not a rule of thumb, since our design temperatures are well below zero. An oversized furnace short-cycles and an undersized one runs constantly, so ask for the math.
Is a heat pump worth it in Wayzata?
Cold-climate heat pumps now work in Wayzata and pair well with a backup furnace for the coldest stretches. They cut cooling and shoulder-season costs, and a local pro can size the backup for our winters.
