"I've participated in Standard Heating &Air Conditioning for many years. The come out promptly twice a year to check the AC in the spring Furnace in the fall. Scheduling is easy, they arrive on time, they are courteous and efficient. They always explain their recommendations and pricing and provide options. Ben came out this fall and displayed all of the qualities I've come to expect from Standard Heating and Air Conditioning techs."

"Speed, accuracy, vast knowledge of air conditioners that give most value in MN vs southern US. 18 year old AC died on a Sunday, replaced in 4 hours next day. Unbelievably fast response for full AC replacement in mid-summer."

"A great experience from a terrific team. After we were told by our (now past) HVAC company that we needed a new furnace, I called Design by Comfort for a second opinion. When I called their office, the woman I spoke to understood my situation immediately and had their team on my doorstep at 8:00 the next morning, on the dot as scheduled. Their service specialist took apart the furnace inspected it and showed me by video the heat exchanger that our original contractor told me was bad.
Based on his very thorough examination, we knew that the furnace did not need replacement.
Obviously, the first company did not tell us the truth about the condition of our furnace so as to sell us a new one even though it was not needed.
The Design by Comfort team was honest, professional, and highly responsive. They saved me thousands of dollars. When the time comes, and it always does, for us to get a new furnace, they will certainly get our business.

"I hired this company for air duct cleaning and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From scheduling to completion, everything was professional and straightforward. The technicians arrived on time, explained the entire process, and used powerful equipment to thoroughly clean our vents and HVAC system. We immediately noticed improved air quality and less dust in the house. They were respectful of our home, protected the work areas, and cleaned up completely before leaving. What really stood out to me was their professionalism and honesty. They did NOT nickel and dime me, their pricing was extremely competitive, and they didn’t try to push a bunch of additional services I didn’t need. They simply explained what they offered, answered my questions, and gave me exactly what I needed. I truly appreciated that approach. If you’re looking for reliable, high-quality duct cleaning with fair pricing and no pressure, I would absolutely recommend them. Great service and great results!"

"The work was fine. However, after they left, I felt like an idiot for allowing them to push me into buying other-related services that resulted in the price more than doubling from the estimate. I knew that $99 was low for duct cleaning, so I talked about what other charges there might be & added dryer vent cleaning and furnace cleaning making the estimate $199. The technician suggested cleaning the air conditioner compressor outside, the water heater & some part of the furnace not already covered. I agreed to these extra services & expected to pay for them. However, I don't know why there was more to the furnace than that for which I already agreed to pay. And, I consider the amount charged for these services to be way out of line. I was an idiot for agreeing, but I don't like having been put in that position and I think they saw a sucker & took advantage of her. I'd prefer to know about other potential up-selling when I am making the appointment. If that doesn't matter to you, their work seemed fine."

"Excellent experience with this local company. Down-to-earth and personable owner, who was one of the two workers to complete the job. I appreciated the flat-rate pricing, which was honored for a larger home with air ducts that definitely needed cleaning. The owner twice showed me "before" and "after" photos to demonstrate what they actually did (a nice touch) and offered to send them to me in order to share with my wife (who wasn't present). I added the furnace cleaning option, which was provided at a slightly reduced rate (as opposed to an individual service call for that purpose), as well as cleaning out the dryer (just the unit, not the venting, which I completely replaced later). These add-ons were not forced, but simply offered as options "while we're here" -- thus both convenient and affordable. No complaints working with this company."

"June of 2020, Minnesota Vent Pro (MVP) came to clean our air ducts and dryer vent. Seeing how much they cleaned out probably helped to avoid a fire hazard. Andy from MVP was the utmost professional and provided fair pricing and we apprecIated the level of customer service he provided. We will definitely be using MVP again in 2023!"

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

High humidity is one of the most common reasons for air vents to sweat or produce condensation. When the cool, dry air from your HVAC unit meets warm and moist air in your home, it will cause condensation. Insulating your ductwork can help prevent this. If you live in a very humid region, a dehumidifier can also help.

A 10,000-watt generator can run a small to mid-sized central AC unit (typically up to 3 tons or 36,000 BTU) along with a few other appliances. However, larger AC units or additional loads will require a bigger generator. Consult a local generator installer to ensure you add the correct size generator to your home.

Air conditioners and dehumidifiers are actually quite similar, though they perform different jobs. Dehumidifiers reduce moisture in the air, while air conditioners work to cool the home. A good central AC unit will naturally perform a certain level of dehumidification due to its design, but it will not be able to handle excessive levels of moisture.

If you’re planning an AC replacement, choosing an AC with a higher SEER rating may save you money in the long run. Tax credits could cover as much as 30% of the job, and you’ll notice smaller utility bills (particularly if you live in a hot climate where you need to constantly run the AC). Generally, you can expect to pay between $350 and $1,500 for each SEER rating increase. Weigh the cost against your typical utility bill to figure out what’s worth it to you.

There are several AC unit problems to troubleshoot, but luckily you can identify them by keeping a close eye on your system. Look out for the following signs that your AC needs repair:

  • Unusual noises during operation

  • AC unit blows warm air

  • AC unit doesn’t come on or turn off with temperature changes

  • Strange odors come through the vents

  • AC unit cycles on and off rapidly

  • Indoor air is more humid or less comfortable than usual

  • AC unit keeps tripping your breaker

  • Fan in the outdoor compressor doesn’t operate when the AC is on
