Installation and service of HVAC, plumbing and roofing systems throughout southern Minnesota. Over 40 technicians offer 24/7 emergency service through out our market area. Maintain offices Mankato, Minneapolis and Rochester, MN. Been a leading provider of HVAC and roofing services for over 100 years.

"The person who rated Schwickerts with a 5 star review because they make sure "the customer is satisfied" is obviously had a different experience than we did. They installed new roofs on our association townhomes and during installation, somehow dislodged several unit's furnace vents as well as someone's water heater vent. When Fall rolled around and furnaces were turned on, one customer had water dripping in her attic and down into her home. They came back several times. Couldn't find anything wrong. On third trip, the employees didn't bother looking in the attic; they simply cut holes in her ceiling and found what they said was a disconnected vent to her furnace. They told her she was lucky they found the problem, because the next step was going to be having to go up on her new roof and cut into it. Unfortunately, after they left, water continued to leak into her home. She could not allow the water to continue to damage her ceiling, so she had someone else look in the attic...and they discovered the furnace exhaust had been disconnected in more than one location, and the water heater vent had been disconnected as well. SCHWICKERT HAD THE NERVE TO SEND THIS PERSON A BILL FOR OVER $400 DOLLARS "INVESTIGATE THE CONDENSATION ISSUE" (TO CUT THE HOLES IN HER CEILING), EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THEIR SHINGLING INSTALLATION CREW AND NOT CORRECTED. Their customer service for the issues WE HAD after installation was extremely POOR."

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.

It’s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don’t recommend it. It’s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You’ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you’re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn’t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.

You should check with your insurance provider, but generally, ice dam removal is not covered by insurance, as it’s considered a preventable issue. However, damage from ice dams may be covered by your policy, including roof collapses. In the case of leaks, your belongings may or may not be covered. If you can’t find specific information on ice dam removal in your policy, give the insurance company a call and find out.

The best time to buy a snow blower is typically around May to early June. This is when most manufacturers introduce new models, and quantities are limited—once early summer rolls around, the focus shifts to lawn mower production. As the new models are released, you may find a wider selection of models, potential discounts or clearance sales on older models, and greater availability, ensuring you are well-prepared for the upcoming winter season.

Ice dam removal is costly, but it’s absolutely worth it. If you leave an ice dam as is and don’t take care of it, you’re looking at potentially dangerous situations and high-cost repairs—like roof collapse, leaks, mold problems, gutter damage, and more. Removing ice dams is essential to keeping your home and your family safe in the snowy season.
