"Could not recommend more. Prices were very reasonable for install of an AC unit, and we had gotten multiple quotes before deciding on HVAC Doctor. Everything was done incredibly fast from the free quote to the install. The owner was very straightforward and honest which we appreciated more than anything. We will be using them for our hvac needs going forward and will be recommending them to others."

"It's 8 PM, 80 degrees outside with the same for humidity, and I noticed that the temperature in the house is getting warm. After doing some troubleshooting, I found out the compressor for the A/C had shut off. I called Comfort By Design's emergency number and within minutes the technician that was on call, called me back. He explained that since the outside temperature was dropping to the 60's that evening, that maybe we should wait until morning to perform a repair, IF a suggestion he made did not pan out. So come morning, the compressor was still not working, I called their office at 7:15 and scheduled a technician to come out. Being that it was starting to get very warm and the calls were coming in, I figured that it would be late in the afternoon. To my pleasant surprise, they were at the house by 8:30, and 15 minutes later they had it fixed (it was a relay that needed to be reset). I was very pleased with the response and the quickness in which the problem was solved. I will continue to use them for my heating and air conditioning needs."

"

Everything went very well.  They showed up on time and completed the work in the time frame that was originally scheduled.  They took away all of the old equipment and cleaned up after themselves very well.

The new units work perfectly and are very quiet.  We can hardly tell they are operating unless we listen closely.

It does seem like our house is now cooled and heated more evenly than before.  The heating part may be due to the humidifier making it feel warmer in the house with the same or even lower heat setting.  It may also be due to the variable speed blower that ramps up during the heating/cooling process.

I also like the versatility of the new programmable thermostat.  You can pretty much choose any heaing/cooling profile you want.

The only reason I gave them a "B" for price is because the price seemed somewhat high to us.  But, they came highly recommended by a close friend who also had a similar system installed by them.  That was the reason we decided to go with them.  We thought that our chances of being "happier" with the end product was probably worth the slightly higher price tag.

I didn't review sooner because I wanted to have time to experience the units in operation during both cooling and heating seasons.

"I called a few plumbing companies on Angie's List for a rough estimate of the repair cost. A few gave quotes for replacing both the flush valve and the flapper fill valve. A few said they did not do quotes over the phone. Which I understood. After talking to a few of the plumbing companies, I chose Dave Kerr, owner of Twin City Pipeworks. Dave came out and replaced the flush valve gasket. He said the flapper fill valve was still good unless I wanted it replaced he could do that. I stayed with the flapper valve I had. Dave also checked my other toilet and my water meter. Everything was good there. Twin City Pipeworks also offered a $25 coupon for Angie's List members that I used. I was very happy with Dave's service, the cost, his promptness, honesty and cleanliness. I highly recommend Twin City Pipeworks and Dave Kerr, the owner!"

"Owner,Jim,picked up the phone immediately when I called and stopped by that same evening to review my house and next day received an estimate with three options for furnace replacement. Price was 1000 less than our other estimate. His team was here promptly on time two weeks later for install. Cleaned up afterward. Didn't get a bill until the next week. Two weeks after work was completed received the electric rebate docs in the mail from Jim to submit. And one month later I'm pleased with no issues whatsoever."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Lake Elmo, MN

Coils work to absorb heat into the refrigerant that flows through them, moving heat from one location to another. For air conditioning, the evaporator coil inside the air handler in your home absorbs heat. It then transfers the heat outside to the condenser coil, where it releases it. The opposite process happens for heat pumps. When the coils get dusty and dirty, it reduces how well these components work.

Skip regular cleanings, and dirt, debris, and mineral deposits will blanket your evaporator and condenser coils. When that happens, the coils can’t shed heat efficiently, so the system works harder and your energy bill climbs. Over time, overheating strains the compressor and can trigger a full breakdown—an avoidable repair that often costs far more than a simple annual cleaning.

AC coil cleaning is an investment that pays for itself in the benefits it provides. Dust‑caked coils force your AC to run longer, so you spend more on electricity and rack up extra wear. A quick professional cleaning restores efficiency, trims monthly bills, and eases strain on expensive parts. Over the long haul, that small yearly fee delays pricy repairs and stretches the unit’s lifespan, making coil cleaning one of the smartest HVAC tune‑ups you can schedule.

Watch for higher electric bills, rooms that stay warm no matter how low you set the thermostat, or an AC system that runs nonstop. Extra humidity and frost on the coils are also red flags. Catching these clues early lets you schedule a quick cleaning before the system overworks itself and triggers an expensive breakdown.

Your AC cleaning technician starts by shutting off the power to the unit and removing the faceplate. Compressed air and a vacuum hose blast away loose debris, followed by a coil-safe, no-rinse cleaner that dissolves stubborn grime. After the solution has soaked in, the professional wipes the fins, reassembles the housing, and restores power, leaving the system ready to cool at peak efficiency.
