"Got a new mini-split installed 5 years ago for $20k. Every year the thing was flat. I would have to call them to fix it, and they could never figure it out. They would just recharge it and leave. Fast forward to today, the labor warranty is expired so they won't come out anymore. Had to go with another HVAC contractor to put in a whole new system at my own expense. Turns out Dean's did not properly seal the insulation around the coolant lines, allowing water to get in there and corrode the pipes. If you think air conditioning is worth over $4000 a year, call deans. Otherwise, go with somebody who can actually do the job right. The most amazing part of this whole story is the new system costs less than the old system from Dean's. I guess I should have known something like this would happen. My first trouble with deans was over 10 years ago, I had a mixing valve replaced on my boiler for $600. They guy put it on backwards. I had them come back out and re-do it but come on. How do you put a $50 part on backwards when the customer is paying you $600 to do it."

Mister Sparky of St. Paul is an electrical contracting & repair company committed to excellence in every aspect of our business.

Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.
"We had a downstairs bathroom that mysteriously lost all power. Every other light and outlet in the basement worked - except the bathroom! After doing some basic troubleshooting (the light bulbs were fine) I called Mister Sparky. Robert came out and patiently and diligently inspected the outlets in the bathroom as well as the electrical panel. "Hmmm...This is throwing me for a loop," he said. I was beginning to lose hope. I imagined the worst case scenario: The mess and cost of walls being dismantled to find a defective wire. Yet, Robert persevered. It would turn out that he "nose" what he's doing. "Do you smell that?" he asked. Of course, I did not. He then opened up a wall outlet near the bathroom and discovered two loose wires that were fried and had burned another plastic wire cap. He had found the problem! Robert not only brought light back to our bathroom, he saved our house from a potentially catastrophic electrical fire. Thank you Robert and Mr. Sparky for your professionalism and skill. I won't hesitate to contact you again for any electrical issue in our home!"

"WARNING - make sure you get a fully price estimate up front before they begin to do work. I brought them in to work on furnace/AC unit/split AC unit servicing garage (based on a promotional price for the first two). It was found my split unit needed a recharge for coolant and I was told that it'd only be 5 lbs of coolant and that this would be priced by the pound (which was reasonable). The bill came and they tacked on a flat charge of $219 for the coolant (this is in addition to the $129 charge to look over the split unit). I felt baited-and-switched. I also contacted them about this, and the answer came down to "This is additional profit for us added onto your bill." Not pleased. At all. Particularly since the coolant in question costs approximately $6 per pound and they only used 5 lbs (one would assume that the $129 charge built in enough profit for labor/licenses/equipment due to the limited time spent working on the split unit. Apparently not). Comfort By Design does excellent work, and they do stand by their work, but just be VERY CAREFUL in finding out what they're going to charge you, particularly if something extra comes up when they're doing a job."

"On May 14th, I had an appointment to have my pre-season cooling inspection. I took a vacation day from work to sit at home and wait for their technician. I received a text during the day saying the tech was running behind and asking if I could re-schedule, I texted back saying I could not reschedule because I already took 8 hours off of work to sit and wait for them, I was then called at 3:00 and told they would not come. Although I understand things happen, this is the THIRD time they stood me up, 3 strikes and you're out!"

FAQs for generator installation projects in Arden Hills, MN
When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
Installing a whole-house generator costs about $5,000 on average. Prices range from $1,550 to $8,500, depending on size, brand, fuel type, and assembly. The size of your whole-house generator is the most significant cost factor, with large homes with high energy demands costing the most to power. Types of whole-home generators include:
Portable generators with 1kW–7.5kW capacity: $500–$2,000
Partial generators with 9kW–20kW capacity: $2,000–$6,300
Whole-house generators with 22kW–48kW: $5,000–$18,000
When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:
Refrigerator: 600 watts
Large dehumidifier: 700 watts
Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts
Water heater: 3,000 watts
Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running.
Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:
Portable generator:
2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers.
4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.
8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.
Partial to whole-house generator:
20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.
The value of installing a whole-house generator is that your home has guaranteed power, even if the power grid in your area is down. Whether a whole-house generator is worth installing in your home depends on how often you use it, your home’s location, and your lifestyle. For example, installing a whole-house generator is likely worth it if you:
Experience frequent or prolonged power outages
Work from home
Store a lot of cold food
Have a sump pump
Have a pump for well water
Use electronic medical devices
Live in a climate requiring heating or cooling
