"These guys are absolutely awesome! We had a cracked heat exchanger and it was dangerous to continue heating because of carbon monoxide leaking. The original duct work was all done incorrectly and caused the furnace (and A/C} to overwork. We had their representative, Danny come to our house one afternoon to give us a bid for heating, duct replacement, and air conditioning. Well, by the next morning we had we had a whole team of guys here and ready to start work on the job. I still don't know how they managed to pull it all together so fast! They had the new furnace, duct work and air conditioner all here and ready to be installed! These guys were all awesome. They worked so hard, and they went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with what they were doing. We would DEFINITELY recommend using Total Comfort and their great team! Thanks Adam C., Adam P., Dylan, Joe, and Tad!"

"Charged $1,000 for less than an hour of work with no material. I will NOT hire again."

"Great, Travis and Teagan were very informative and honest about the state of our system and laid out our options clearly."

"Nathan has helped us fix the issue by getting a correct team in place, He was professional and gentle. It was nice working with him."

"Wonderful! Very professional, answered my questions and got the work done in a timely manner. Courteous, helpful and local. Hoffman Cooling & Heating was a familiar name for me and I was pleased at the great job they did! I’d recommend them!"

"They were good and I would use them again."

"The technician arrived on time to tune up the air conditioner. He gave me a friendly greeting and agreed to wear a mask immediately. He asked about the cat to make sure it would be safe (!). He asked about and listened carefully to me about how everything has been working (Standard installed our boiler and maintains it also). As usual, the technician completed his work efficiently and professionally. He explained everything before leaving and left the work areas neat. Standard is so reliable we joined its maintenance program years ago and will continue to call Standard for all our heating and air conditioning needs."

"Blake from Dean’s Home Services did a phenomenal job explaining a couple of scenarios to unclog our toilet. He was very professional, skilled, informative, and no high pressure sales pitch. Plus he has a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend Dean’s and will use them again if need be."

"Last fall as I prepared to deploy to the Middle East with the Minnesota National Guard, we decided to replace our boiler, so my wife wouldn’t have any added stress while I was gone. The opposite has occurred. After I left, the boiler and hot water system was installed in. That went fine though they left a big hole in the floor when they removed the old boiler. Shortly after the new boiler began having problems losing pressure and my wife smelled gas. When the pressure drops below a certain level the furnace shuts off, so the house gets cold and there is no hot water. McQuillan came out and looked at the system, determined that the expansion tank had failed and replaced it. They said the gas smell was just old pipes. Things worked for a bit, but then started losing pressure and shutting off again. McQuillan came out, added water and the system came back on. A week or so later, no pressure, no heat or hot water. McQuillan comes out and determines the expansion tank had failed again. It gets replaced, water added, the system is back on. They showed my wife how to add water to keep the pressure up In asking what was causing the problem, McQuillan kept telling us that its an old house, and you have leaky radiators. We looked. A couple of radiators had a little rust line from the valves, but no water and the pipes were dry when our carpenter touched them with a Kleenex to check for leaks or moisture. Through out the winter, this keeps happening with my wife having to regularly go down in the basement to add water. She keeps looking for any sign of water leaks around all the radiators and heating pipes. It is frustrating and stressful. In early March, after being gone for the weekend, she came home and the boiler was out and the house near freezing. McQuillan put in an automatic fill valve to add water whenever the pressure dropped. Still insisting that the pressure loss had to be leaky radiator valves. When I heard about this from my wife I asked if they had done a pressure test on the system to try to determine where the leak was occurring. McQuillan said no, that isn’t standard procedure. (Other boiler installers said it is the standard). We hadn’t been able to find any water leaks from any of the radiators or pipes we could see, so I didn’t want to keep pumping water in afraid that the leak might be hidden somewhere. So I had my wife turn it off unless she was going to be gone for more than a day. The pressure loss keeps happening. Also the gas smell is still there, so my wife called the gas company to come out and check. They found not one but two leaks in the gas connection creating a danger significant enough that the gas company immediately turned off our gas in the middle of the winter. At this point McQuillan had been out to the house 6-8 time and things were still not right. We tell them the systems isn’t working and they need to start over. McQuillan goes through the system again and fixes the gas leak. They determined that the expansion tank was actually too small for our system and replaced it with a bigger one. Soon again no pressure. Not being able to find any leaks throughout the house, but unable to account for the pressure loss, we start to consider replacing the valves that showed a little rust. But I wasn’t convinced that was the problem as we weren’t seeing any water. We continued to push to have them reinstall the system. After the tenth+ visit to the house, McQuillan arranged to have the local rep from the boiler manufacturer come out to look at the system. During this they finally decide to do a pressure test. When the boiler was isolated and a pressure test was done, it was discovered that there was a crack inside the boiler. This took no more than 45 minutes. The water leaking to create the pressure drop was running from the crack inside the boiler through the condensation hose to the laundry sink—which is why there was never any water on the floor. So at this point they replace the system and four radiator valves that showed some rust. We will see how this winter goes. Regardless of whether or not it is your standard protocol to pressure test at the time you install a boiler, about the second time you were called out because of a loss of pressure it would have been the prudent thing to do to determine what the actual problem was. Certainly it should have been done before installing the auto-fill device, which only masked the problem by adding more water whenever enough had leaked out somewhere. If there had been a hidden leak in the piping, all that continuous leaking could have led to significant damage. While they didn’t charge us to replace four radiator valves, because they didn’t pressure test the systems, we don’t know if the valves actually needed replacing. The value of replacing something that may or may not of needed replacing is speculative at best.  As a result of all this, my wife had to miss multiple days of work dealing with all these issues that we should never have had to deal with, and were exactly what we were trying to avoid with having McQuillian install a new boiler. Instead, a complete nightmare at a time when my family was under intense stress already. We still have a hole in the floor."

"They were helpful in fitting us in on short notice. The plumber was friendly and confident in his knowledge. The price felt a bit high for the project, but with an active leak, we didn't want to spend too much time shopping around for other bids."
