Learn moreWhy Twin Cities homeowners call Northwind
The furnace is the one appliance in a Minnesota house that cannot be allowed to fail quietly. Northwind started in 2006 with a single van and the idea that a heating company should be judged by how it behaves on the coldest night of the year. Twenty years later, that is still the standard: a technician who shows up, finds the actual fault, and fixes it without upselling a scared homeowner.
We are a local company with a shop in Bloomington and technicians who live in the neighborhoods we serve. We work on every brand of furnace, air conditioner and heat pump, we service boilers in the older Minneapolis and St. Paul housing stock, and we will still be answering the phone when your system needs its next tune-up.

No-heat calls come first
When it is twenty below, a dead furnace is a safety problem, not an inconvenience. Our on-call technician dispatches around the clock, and no-heat calls go to the front of the line every time.
Diagnose first, then quote
You get a plain explanation of what failed, why, and what it costs to fix before anyone opens a parts drawer. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Sized for your house, not a chart
We run a load calculation on every replacement instead of matching the old nameplate. Oversized furnaces short-cycle and oversized air conditioners leave the house clammy. Right-sized equipment does neither.
Permits pulled, inspections passed
Every furnace, air conditioner and heat pump we install is permitted through your city and inspected. It protects your warranty, your insurance and the next buyer of your home.
What happens when you call
- 1
Talk to a person
Our office answers during business hours and the on-call technician answers after. Tell us what the system is doing and we will tell you how fast we can be there.
- 2
Diagnosis and a flat price
The technician tests the system, shows you what they found, and gives you a written price for the repair. If replacement is the smarter choice, they will say why.
- 3
The work
Most repairs are finished on the first visit from parts on the truck. Replacements are usually done in one day, with the old equipment hauled away.
- 4
Follow-up
We register your equipment for the manufacturer warranty, schedule the city inspection if one is needed, and check in after the first season.
What our customers say
Furnace died at 11pm on one of the coldest nights in January. A real person answered, and the technician was at our door in under two hours with the igniter on his truck. Showed us the cracked part before replacing it. That's the whole reason we've used Northwind since.
1920s house in Longfellow with radiators and no ductwork. Three ductless heads, done in a day, and we finally have air conditioning without window units. They also talked us out of replacing the boiler, which another company had pushed.
Mike spent two hours on the load calculation and explained the balance point so clearly I could repeat it to my husband. Dual-fuel system has carried us through most of the winter on the heat pump alone. The gas bill tells the story.
Proudly serving the Twin Cities metro
Northwind Heating & Air is based on Lyndale Avenue in Bloomington and runs service trucks across Hennepin, Dakota, Scott and Ramsey counties. From South Minneapolis to Lakeville, if you are inside the 494/694 loop or just outside it, we are already nearby.
