HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. That means that here at Mesaba Heating & Air Conditioning, we take pride in making sure our friends and neighbors in this beautiful but somewhat extreme climate are comfortable all year long. How do we keep Minnesotans cool or cozy enough and breathing fresh air? Here’s a quick rundown of the many services HVAC contractors provide.
Here in Minnesota, it’s absolutely critical to have our heating systems working properly. Any kind of interruption or heating system breakdown can be dangerous! The best way to make sure you won’t have any disruptions to your ability to keep your home cozy is to get heating maintenance done in the fall. If you’re starting to notice signs of trouble, it may already be time to call a pro about your furnace.
What kind of maintenance is done to heating systems? Why is it necessary? When does it need to be done? What are the benefits of having heating maintenance done regularly? We can explain it all.
Regular furnace maintenance helps ensure consistent heating performance, improves energy efficiency, and prevents breakdowns by identifying worn or dirty components early. It enhances indoor air quality and safety, reduces emergency repair costs, and extends the lifespan of your system, ultimately saving time and money.
The beautiful autumn colors are gracing the trees and the cool breezes are beginning to blow. Welcome to fall! In addition to all the other home preparations you might need to do, it’s important to remember to take proper care of your HVAC system this time of year. When you’re ready to switch from cooling to heating, take a moment to run through this fall HVAC checklist.
In Minnesota, autumn is certainly beautiful. But we know what’s coming: a long stretch of the sort of weather that keeps most folks indoors most of the time. And while we’re in there, we’re breathing in the recirculated exhales and sneezes of other people. No wonder cold and flu germs have such an easy time infecting everyone!
We believe you can take control of your health and wellbeing and keep yourself and your family safer. Instead of suffering through cold and flu season, you should be enjoying the holiday season. How can you reduce your risk of getting sick this fall and winter? With an air purifier! And it has other benefits as well. Check this out.
Is your old air conditioner approaching the end of its life? If you are experiencing frequent repairs or your old unit is over 12-15 years old, these are strong signs it may be time to replace your air conditioner. Most air conditioners can last between 15 and 20 years, depending on the type of unit you have. As time passes, even the most reliable AC unit can lose its efficiency. As you get to the point of planning your AC replacement, there are a lot of considerations at hand. Before making a decision, it’s important to evaluate your current system and cooling needs. Determining the right size and type of new air conditioner based on your home’s square footage ensures optimal comfort and efficiency. Smaller homes may require different system sizes and can benefit from lower installation costs. For smaller homes under 1,500 square feet, a new HVAC system typically costs between $10,000 to $12,000.
Of course, cost is a big part of what you need to take into account. But don’t just think about the initial investment of the new system. Much of the cost of air conditioning is not the system itself, it’s the operating cost. If you’re unsure where to start, our guide to selecting a new AC can walk you through important factors to consider. Upgrading to a new HVAC system can offer significant cost savings over time due to improved energy efficiency and lower utility bills. Investing in a new air conditioner can lead to significant savings on monthly utility bills. Some homeowners can reduce their energy costs by 30% with high-efficiency air conditioners. We understand that customers often have concerns about the cost, efficiency, and installation process, and our team is here to address these concerns and guide you every step of the way.
Luckily, there are some amazing new energy-efficient options for AC replacement. New air conditioning systems are more energy-efficient than ever before. We offer systems from top brands and can recommend the best brands for reliability and efficiency. Our team has extensive experience servicing and installing air conditioners from any brand, ensuring you get the right solution for your needs.

How important is it to get AC repair when you have a minor problem with your air conditioner? Well, that can vary widely, but the bottom line is, you don’t want to take any risks. An air conditioner is an expensive piece of equipment, and you should protect that investment. If you have AC issues, you need qualified professional repair ASAP. Learn more about why AC maintenance is worth it before problems escalate.
When your air conditioner hisses, shows ice buildup, rattles, cycles rapidly, or struggles to cool, these signs point to serious internal damage, refrigerant leaks, or compressor strain, and require professional urgent repair before the issue worsens.
If your air conditioner is having trouble, it’s important to get things straightened out before the problem gets any worse. This means you’ve got to notice what’s going on with your air conditioner. Is it making a strange noise? Does it smell funny? Is it stopping and starting too often? Any of these things mean it’s time to get AC repair. But what about ice?
Sometimes, people think it’s okay or even expected for ice to develop on an air conditioner. But no! This is another indicator that your air conditioner needs repair. When you see ice on your AC evaporator coils, something has gone wrong. And if you don’t get it sorted out, it will get worse. Here’s what to do.
Occasionally, the cause of an air conditioning problem is very obvious. For example, if a large tree branch fell and crushed your outdoor AC unit, you would know exactly why it isn’t working. But most of the time, the cause is a little less clear at first glance. That can make it hard for a homeowner to take the necessary steps to prevent such problems from happening. We’d like to help.
One easily overlooked cause of air conditioning problems is our beloved animal companions. What’s that? You never suspected that Fluffy was the reason your AC hasn’t been running properly? Yes, pets can cause AC damage, and sometimes they’re sneaky enough that we pet owners don’t realize what they’ve been doing. Here are the clues to look for.
Wow, are you ever going to enjoy that new HVAC system! You’ll be so impressed with how effective and efficient today’s heaters, heat pumps, and air conditioners are. But before you can kick back in comfort, you’ve got an installation appointment. What should you know before your HVAC installation? What can you do to prepare your home and make sure it goes smoothly? We’ve got the answers.
Your air conditioner is a complex machine with a lot of components. It worked hard all last summer keeping your home cool. Then it sat around all winter, disused and collecting dust. Now you want it to start working hard again? It deserves some love! More importantly, you just won’t get the performance you’re hoping for if you don’t take care of your air conditioner.
This means you need to get professional maintenance. You’ll want to schedule that right away, before the summer gets any hotter, if you haven’t done it already. It might be the most important thing you do this spring, with the widest-ranging benefits. Why is it so important to have AC maintenance done every single year? There are several reasons, and we’re happy to explain them.
