Since 1883 McQuillan Home Services has been Minnesota’s Original plumbing, heating, and cooling company. At McQuillan we’ve always remained true to our mission of providing solid, honest work to all our customers. Join the McQuillan Home Services family as we continue to raise the bar and provide generations of happy customers with quality plumbing, heating, AC, electrical, and drains service.
"Oh, how I wish there were a grade lower than F. McQuillan managed to provide both poor customer service *and* bad technical work. The company came out to do a full replacement of our A/C unit and furnace, switching to minisplits and a boiler/radiator system. The minisplit side of the equation went just fine. The rest has been a disaster. This all started the first week of August, so they would have plenty of time to get the work done before winter...so we thought. Instead the installed the boiler incorrectly, causing it to make loud noises and not actually provide any hot water. After calling five times and having two missed appointments, they finally sent out a plumber who informed us that it was so badly screwed up, an entire crew would have to come out and fix it (which they eventually did, two whole weeks later). It took three people nine hours (!!) to fix whatever they did wrong. Now on to the radiators. Several were backordered to the first week of September, obviously not their fault. Once they called us to say the new radiators were ready for installation, they couldn't "fit us into their schedule" for three more weeks! When they did show up, we found one radiator completely missing, two ordered in the wrong finish, and several others that couldn't be installed because they didn't have the right parts and weren't sure how to get them (WHAT?). And, this is a minor issue compared to everything else, but they ask you to pay as you go, so every time someone shows up they want to collect money. Multiple times we've asked to see an itemized bill so we know what all our payments have gone to (this is a large job and we just want to keep track of everything), but we still have yet to see a single invoice or receipt of our payment. Which brings us to today. We're not currently on their schedule at all. Half of our radiators are installed, but none are active on the system, so we have no heat. It's early October, and the temperature tonight is supposed to reach 35 with a frost warning (which is one things for my husband and I, but we also have three kids under the age of 6). We've called multiple times the past two days and no one will call or email us back to tell us when we are actually going to have heat. I'm extremely close to reporting them to the BBB and calling a different company to finish the job so we can stay warm. I wouldn't wish McQuillan on my worst enemy."

Aim for indoor humidity between 30% and 50%, with the sweet spot around 45%. That range keeps mold, dust mites, and musty odors in check while protecting drywall and woodwork. Staying in the zone also helps your HVAC system run more efficiently and supports healthier air for you and your family year-round, during hot summers and cold winter months.
With routine filter changes and coil cleanings, most whole-house units run for eight to 15 years. Heavy use, poor air quality, or bargain-bin equipment can shorten that span, while a well-maintained, high-quality model often makes it to the upper end of the range. Ask your installer about recommended service intervals to get the most mileage from your investment.
It depends on your climate. Homes in cold, dry regions can often shut the dehumidifier off once winter sets in. If you live in a warm, humid area—or your house tends to trap moisture—you may need to keep it running year-round. Use a simple hygrometer: if readings stay below 50%, give the unit a rest. Just remember to restart it when humidity climbs again to avoid mold and condensation.
Dry air feels cooler, so your AC doesn’t have to work as hard. By stripping out excess moisture, the dehumidifier lets you raise the thermostat a few degrees without losing comfort. A shorter AC runtime reduces electricity use and can shave a noticeable amount off your summer power bill. Energy-efficient models further enhance those savings.
If your home is under about 2,000 square feet, a well-placed portable unit can handle the load. Just remember they’re less efficient and need hands-on upkeep—think emptying tanks and cleaning filters. If you prefer set-and-forget convenience or plan to expand your living space, a whole-house model still offers better long-term comfort and lower energy use per square foot.
