We understand what it takes to stay warm through Minneapolis’ toughest seasons—and we build every furnace solution around that.
Types of Furnaces We Install & Service
Not all furnaces are built the same—and in Minnesota, choosing the right system makes all the difference. From classic gas furnaces that power most Twin Cities homes to modern high-efficiency models designed to cut energy bills, our team has the training and tools to service them all. We repair, maintain, and install every common furnace type so your home stays safe, warm, and efficient no matter how cold it gets outside.
Gas Furnaces
Gas furnaces are the standard in most Twin Cities homes. They burn natural gas to create heat, which is transferred through a heat exchanger and distributed by the blower. Gas models are powerful enough for subzero nights and tend to be more cost-effective than electric furnaces where natural gas is available.
- Pros: Reliable heat output, lower operating costs with natural gas, quick warm-up times.
- Cons: Require proper venting and carbon monoxide safety checks. Pilot lights, ignitors, and flame sensors are common service points.
Electric Furnaces
Electric furnaces use heating elements instead of burners, making them a good option in homes without gas service. They’re often found in apartments, multi-family housing, or areas with limited gas infrastructure.
- Pros: Lower upfront cost, safe (no combustion gases), and easier to install.
- Cons: Higher monthly energy bills in Minnesota winters, slower to heat large homes. Breakdowns often involve elements, thermostats, or wiring.
High-Efficiency Furnaces
These furnaces use secondary heat exchangers to extract more heat from combustion gases, achieving efficiency ratings of 90%–98%. They’re popular for homeowners looking to reduce utility bills and take advantage of Xcel Energy or CenterPoint Energy rebates.
Pros: Significant long-term energy savings, smaller carbon footprint, rebate eligibility.
Cons: More complex venting (PVC piping instead of chimneys), require regular maintenance to avoid condensate line clogs.
Variable-Speed Furnaces
The most advanced option, these furnaces adjust airflow and heat output in real time. Instead of blasting on and off, they run at lower speeds continuously to maintain consistent comfort. This technology is especially helpful in Minnesota homes where temperature swings can be extreme from one day to the next.
Cons: Higher upfront cost, require precise installation and maintenance to get full benefits.
Pros: Even heating across the home, quieter operation, lower energy bills, improved indoor air quality due to longer blower cycles.
Choosing a furnace isn’t one-size-fits-all. We match fuel type, efficiency, and blower technology to your home’s heat loss, ductwork, and comfort goals—then compare total cost of ownership, available rebates, and financing so you can make a confident decision.

Prevent Furnace Breakdowns with Regular Maintenance
The best way to avoid unexpected furnace failures is through consistent, professional maintenance.
Annual tune-ups are designed to catch small problems before they become costly emergencies. During a tune-up, our technicians thoroughly inspect your system, clean critical components, test for carbon monoxide leaks, and make efficiency adjustments. This proactive approach:
✓ Reduces Emergency Repairs – Worn parts are replaced before they fail, keeping your system dependable through the coldest nights.
✓ Improves Efficiency – A clean, well-tuned furnace uses less energy, which means lower utility bills during Minnesota’s long heating season.
✓ Extends Lifespan – Regular care keeps the system running smoothly for 15–20 years, rather than breaking down early from neglect.
✓ Protects Safety – Carbon monoxide testing, gas valve inspections, and venting checks ensure your family stays safe all winter long.
Regular maintenance isn’t just about avoiding inconvenient breakdowns—it’s about protecting your comfort, your budget, and your family’s safety through the toughest months of the year. A single annual visit gives you peace of mind that your furnace is clean, efficient, and ready to handle everything a Minnesota winter can throw at it. Schedule your tune-up before the cold sets in, and let Northern One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning® keep your home warm, safe, and worry-free all season long.

Common Furnace Questions
How long does a furnace last in Minneapolis–St. Paul?
In our climate, most furnaces last around 10 years due to the long heating season. With annual tune-ups and proper sizing, some systems make it to 12–15 years, but planning for replacement near the 10-year mark is realistic.
What types of furnaces do you install?
We install gas and electric furnaces, including high-efficiency (90%+ AFUE) and variable-speed/modulating models for quieter operation, better comfort, and lower winter utility bills.
How do you size a furnace for my home?
We perform a load calculation (home size, insulation, windows, ductwork, and air leakage) to match capacity to your exact needs—preventing short cycling, cold spots, and wasted energy.
How long does a furnace installation take?
Most installs finish in one day. If ductwork modifications, code upgrades, or accessory add-ons (humidifier, air purifier, smart thermostat) are needed, it can extend into a second day.
Are there rebates or incentives for high-efficiency furnaces?
Yes—local utility rebates are often available for qualifying high-efficiency systems in the Twin Cities. We help you pick eligible models and provide documentation for rebate submission.
What efficiency rating (AFUE) should I choose?
For heavy winter use, many homeowners choose 90–96% AFUE for strong long-term savings. We’ll model payback against your usage, fuel costs, and budget to recommend the best fit.
Do you offer financing or payment options?
Yes—financing plans are available for qualified customers to spread out the cost of installation or major repairs. We’ll review options during your in-home estimate.
What maintenance does a furnace need—and when?
Schedule annual maintenance each fall. A pro tune-up cleans burners/blower, verifies ignition and safety systems, checks for carbon monoxide, and optimizes airflow and efficiency.
Can you integrate smart thermostats and indoor air quality add-ons?
Absolutely. We install and configure smart thermostats, whole-home humidifiers, and air purification/filtration to improve comfort and winter air quality.
Do you offer emergency furnace repair and service all brands?
Yes—24/7 emergency service, and we work on all major brands. For in-depth troubleshooting details, see our dedicated Furnace Repairs page.
