Got three bids. Zack's was significantly lower than the other two (same model in all three bids). One of the other companies suggested I go with a higher capacitry furnace then the existing one. Zack said I could actually use a model smaller than my existing one. Of course the higher capacity was more expense. I went a model slightly smaller than my existing furnace. The AL reviews were good so I decided to go with Zack. They arrived on time and when right to work. I checked the part number on the box containing the new furnace and it didn't seem to be what I ordered. When I asked Zack he said he would call to make sure it was the correct furnace. I went upstairs and called Lennox and talked to someone who said the model number did not have the variable speed motor I had purchaced. Of course now I was starting to get worked up. Zack was very patient with me. He had looked inside the furnace and said it was indeed the variable speed motor model. Because of my conversation with Lennox, I wasn't convinced. We called Lennox on the speaker phone and they assured me it was the variable speed motor model. Since Lennox had given me two answers I was still not convinced. I searched for the model number online with Zack and I was finally reassured that it was the variable speed model. Keep in mind he knew the whole time it was the variable speed model because he had looked inside the unit. Many contractors might have gotten upset with me, but Zack attitude was lets keep checking until you are satisfied.
Zack had filled all the forms required to get tax credits, rebates, etc. Overall top notch service at a great price.

After sitting in my driveway for 30-40 minutes (no lie), he finally presented me with a proposed work order. The order included a $99 service charge (even though the problem had already been diagnosed and detailed by the gas company), parts and estimated labor for an additional $375. Fortunately, I know people in the business and called them before signing anything. The parts cost next to nothing (a flex connector and new flare nut) and the job takes 10 minutes or less. Highly irritated that I was still responsible for the $99 service call fee, when it was unnecessary for him to come at all to review what he already knew. Also irritated that I have to go another day without my gas range until a friend can fix it instead. I declined the rest of their inflated parts/labor fees.

You deserve a safe and reliable home. Get the job done right the first time with outstanding customer service from the Twin Cities top rated electrician. Outlets, fans, lighting, smoke detectors, switches, and service panels. Your full service electrician.
"I hired Randy’s to fix a recurring electrical issue that was cutting power to the upper floor of my home, and to install two new circuits, work completed over two visits about a week apart. The new circuits seem to work fine, but the original issue persists—despite spending over $5,000, including $1,000+ on diagnostics. The electrician spent about 45 minutes on the initial assessment, then replaced some wiring and breakers. The problem reoccurred before the second visit, which I reported by phone, but he was unaware of it when he arrived. He did minimal follow-up, blamed CFL bulbs, and later suggested the issue might be with outlet or switch connections—something I believe should have been checked from the start. The issue has since returned again, and after three follow-up calls in three days, I’ve received no response. On the positive side, the crew was professional, worked in a difficult attic space, and cleaned up well. Still, I expected better troubleshooting, communication, and post-service support for what I paid."

"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."

FAQs for boiler repair projects in Mahtomedi, MN
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
