Heating calls in Rochester
Rochester heating calls come through the same number as cooling calls. We publish both because the equipment, the failure modes and the urgency are different enough that they warrant separate pages.
Within Rochester we publish 6 ZIP codes for heating work. Nearby markets including Elko New Market, Inver Grove Heights, Burnsville are listed separately with their own coverage.
Local considerations
The flue and venting path for any Rochester combustion appliance should be confirmed clear before the heating season. A blockage anywhere in the path is a carbon monoxide hazard regardless of how well the appliance itself runs.
Among the coldest sustained winters in the country, where a heating failure becomes urgent very quickly. Heat pumps in Rochester therefore spend more time in defrost than owners expect, and a defrost cycle that looks like a fault is usually the system working correctly.

When a provider recommends replacement rather than repair on a furnace, the heat exchanger and the age are the two factors worth asking about specifically.

What is your thermostat reading?
Drag the dial to the temperature your thermostat shows now. The readout names the likely cause band, how urgent it is, and which page to read next.

- Likely cause band
- Cooling capacity loss: dirty coil, low refrigerant charge from a leak, or a failing capacitor.
- Urgency
- Call today
- Read next
- AC not cooling
What to do while you wait
- Set the thermostat to off rather than leaving it calling for heat against a locked-out system.
- If you smell gas, leave the building first and call the gas utility or 911 from outside.
- Replace a loaded filter. Restricted airflow trips high-limit switches on furnaces.
- Close off unused rooms and keep anyone vulnerable in the warmest part of the house.

Call (855) 321-3194Questions
Rochester HVAC questions
Do you work on boilers in Rochester?
Yes, where a provider covering your ZIP code handles them. Boiler faults run to pressure loss, circulator pumps, expansion tanks and zone valves, which is a different skill set from forced-air work. Say so when you call.
Why does my furnace smell when it first runs?
A brief dusty smell on the first run of the season is normal as dust burns off the heat exchanger. A persistent burning smell, or any electrical smell, is not. Shut it off and call.
What if I smell gas?
Leave the building first, then call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not operate light switches, thermostats or phones on your way out. Call us afterwards, once the utility has made the property safe.
Why are my upstairs radiators cold?
Usually trapped air or a circulation problem rather than a failed boiler. Bleeding radiators resolves some of it. If pressure keeps dropping after bleeding, there is a leak somewhere in the loop worth finding.
How do you decide which provider gets my call?
By ZIP code first, then by who is accepting calls. We publish no ratings and sell no placement. During a cold snap the set of available providers in Olmsted County narrows considerably.
