Air Conditioning Installation
At HVAC, we specialize in two distinct different approaches to cooling your home. 1st, is the traditional central air conditioning system. Since the late 1960’s, most homes were built with duct work to heat and cool your home. If your home requires a replacement central air conditioner, we sell and install Lennox, Aire-flo, and Unico equipment. 2nd, are the ductless systems. With the large number of homes in our service area that feature hot water heat, ductless systems are an excellent option to consider. We are proud top feature Fujitsu, Daikin and Unico ductless air conditioning systems as well. Regardless of the system your home requires, your comfort is our No. 1 goal.
With both styles, the manufacturers we represent meet or exceed the Federal governments energy efficiency requirements. In many cases, due to the energy efficiency of the equipment, your local utility provider will offer money saving rebates to reduce your investment. Our home comfort advisers will provide a 100% FREE estimate for the cooling system best for your home.Ductless Air Conditioning Systems
Our HVAC Heating and Air Conditioning is an expert in ductless air conditioning options. Due to the large number of homes we serve with hot water heat systems, ductless air conditioning options have become extremely popular. Years ago, if you had hot water heat, your only option was a window air conditioner. Window air conditioners are noisy, inefficient, hard to install, & hard to remove. In many cases, the size of the window opening prevented the homeowner from installing an A/C that could adequately cool the necessary area. Last, but not least, most window air conditioners were very costly to operate.
Due to the challenges imposed by window air conditioners, you may think that a ductless air conditioning system might also sacrifice energy efficiency….it is just the opposite. The Fujitsu, Daikin, & Unico ductless systems we sell and install offer some of the most energy efficient air conditioning options available today. Due to the high efficiency nature of the ductless systems, local utility companies offer rebates to assist with the affordability of your system.
Ductless systems have many applications. Our most common ductless application is partnering with an existing hot water heat system, but our comfort advisors also have ductless systems that are used in room additions, multifamily dwellings, and commercial applications.Unico Air Conditioning / High Velocity Air Conditioning

More accessories and options than any other high velocity system on the market – The Unico System is extremely quiet because of its special sound-absorbing insulation – The air handler is insulated and vibration pads are used on the system to reduce vibrations and add extra sound absorption.The Unico air conditioning system can be used with any condensing unit of the proper capacity.

Preventative Maintenance…
With the technological advances of todays furnaces, boilers and air conditioners, manufacturers are requiring annual maintenance. If you fail to properly maintain your home comfort appliances annually, in many cases your warranty will be voided. HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning offers a very affordable annual maintenance program that provides an air conditioner inspection & tune up every spring, and a furnace or boiler inspection & tune up every fall. Annual maintenance is extremely affordable and will give you peace of mind. Once you put your program in place, RELAX. HVAC will call you to schedule your spring and fall annual maintenance. Best of all, this annual maintenance will discover areas for potential problems and correct them before they become serious. The last thing any of us want is a home with no heat in the cold of winter, or no air conditioning on the hottest days of summer.
Other benefits of annual maintenance are priority scheduling (you go to the front of the line), and no overtime charges, EVER! Right now is the time to start your annual maintenance program with HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning.
Indoor Air Quality
The number of days that we can open our windows and enjoy comfortable temperatures and humidity are very limited in Minnesota. For this reason, HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning strongly recommends a whole home air purification system as part of every home comfort system. Adding a whole home air purification system reduces allergens, mold, mildew, bacteria, and viruses. These germs and pathogens can be managed with the right Lennox air purification equipment.
Our most popular indoor air addition is a UV Light system…..this simple and affordable option can eliminate as much as 99% of your homes indoor air contaminants. Lennox also offers other indoor air purification equipment to work in partnership with your home comfort system. If your are not 100% sure of the quality of your home’s indoor air, give HVAC a call. We can test your indoor air, show the results, and if necessary provide the right solution.
Thermostat / Controls / WI-FI Ready
Today’s high efficiency home comfort systems also offer unsurpassed convenience in your thermostat. In addition to being able to program your home comfort system for maximum daily efficiency, you can also monitor and adjust your home’s comfort with your smart phone. If you leave for a winter vacation, you can be checking to make sure your home’s temperature is stable while you are gone. As you return to the twin cities from your winter get-a-way, you can adjust your homes temperature to be warm and comfortable as you walk in the door. The same is true in the summer.
If your home is not currently zoned, this is something to also consider. Many homes are controlled by a single thermostat……even though it may be the perfect temperature in one room, you find other rooms are either too hot to too cold. Zoning your home eliminates this inconvenience. HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning can assist you with adding a programmable and/or wi-fi thermostat and zoning to your existing home comfort equipment as well as discuss these benefits when you are installing a new system.
Please be aware that not all current home comfort systems & thermostats are properly wired to accept these new high tech options.
