Home heating services
Emergency heating repair
Rooms are cooling off, a boiler is dripping onto the floor, or the whole system went silent without warning. Call now and we start working on getting a technician to your door, whether the trouble sits with a furnace, a heat pump or a boiler.
Boiler and radiator repair
Hot-water boilers, steam boilers, and the cast-iron radiators and baseboard loops hanging off them. Cold radiators, knocking pipes and puddles near the boiler are all reasons to call, and a technician then looks for the cause.
Furnace replacement and installation
A furnace that is finished gets replaced by one the technician picks to suit your house. The technician sorts out the venting and fuel connections, takes the old unit away and leaves the space clean. You hear how the whole job will go, in plain terms, before it begins.
Heat pump repair and installation
An outdoor unit coated in ice, a heat pump that never catches up, or vents blowing barely warm air. We cover repairs and new installations.
Heating tune-ups and maintenance
Book a visit before winter arrives. The technician puts the equipment through its paces and tests the parts that wear, so little faults come to light while the weather is still mild.
Ductless mini-split heating
Slim wall heads that bring heat to a chilly bedroom, a new addition or any house that was built without ductwork, each one linked by a thin line to a compact unit outside the wall.
Electric heat on the Fargo side
Fargo leans on electricity for heat. By Census count it warms more than 5 in every 10 occupied homes, and utility gas, the next fuel, serves more than 4 in every 10. Nearly 4 in every 10 Fargo homes date from before 1980, so the equipment in them spans a wide range of ages.
Heat pumps, electric furnaces and baseboard units all count as electric heat. If one stops working, a technician finds the fault after your call.
Gas heat on the Moorhead side
Cross into Moorhead and the picture flips. Utility gas warms more than 8 in every 10 occupied homes there, electricity warms more than 1 in every 10, and nearly 5 in every 10 homes date from before 1980. A gas furnace that blows cold or refuses to start is a furnace repair call on either bank of the Red River.
A gas furnace that blows cold air or refuses to start belongs under furnace repair. We take those calls on both sides of the Red River.
Two states, two sets of rules
Fargo requires heating and air conditioning contractors to hold a City of Fargo license, and the City Auditor’s office can verify it. North Dakota adds a state contractor license for jobs above a set dollar amount, searchable on the Secretary of State’s FirstStop page.
Minnesota takes a different route. Anyone contracting for heating work must hold a bond with the state, and the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) license and registration lookup shows licenses and bonds without an account. On either side of the Red River, ask for the name on the license before work begins.
Fargo’s January nights
Fargo’s normal January low, measured at Hector International Airport, is about 0°F. When a furnace, heat pump or boiler stops on a night like that, call right away.
Fargo also logs about 8,800 heating degree days in a normal year, a standard gauge of how much heat buildings need. With that much demand on the equipment, a tune-up and an early call both make sense.
Our process
A free call
There is no fee for the call. Describe what you are seeing and hearing, name the kind of heating you have if you know it, and give us the address.
A technician finds the cause
Our technician visits, diagnoses the fault and explains it without jargon.
Repair or replace, you decide
The repair quote is free and personalized, and it covers exactly what the technician found. If the equipment has simply run its course, you are also walked through what a replacement would involve, and whether to go ahead is entirely up to you.
If you smell gas or a CO alarm sounds
Everyone leaves the house first. Once you are safely away, call 911.
Then call us and we will line up a heating technician for the equipment. Our Fargo and Moorhead pages cover the local gas and alarm details.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a charge for calling?
No. The call and the quote are both free.
Do you work on electric heat as well as gas?
Yes. Heat pumps, electric furnaces and gas furnaces are all covered, along with boilers and mini-splits.
Who do I call about a gas smell or a carbon monoxide alarm?
Everyone gets outside, and once you are safely away you call 911. Calling us comes after that.

Not necessarily. Our local pages cover the towns below, and if your address is outside the area, call us for confirmation.
