Every home's heating and cooling setup tells a different story, and we have heard most of them over the past decade. Older furnaces running past their prime. Heat pumps that were installed without enough thought given to Minnesota's deep cold. Ductwork that was never quite sealed right and has been bleeding conditioned air into the walls for years. These are the everyday problems our team diagnoses and corrects, working through each situation the way it actually deserves to be worked through.
Our technicians are qualified HVAC professionals who perform code-compliant work on every job, whether it is a single-family home in Minnetonka or a multi-unit property across the county. We handle airflow and uneven-temperature problems, duct repair and sealing, and the full spectrum of heating and cooling service that keeps a building comfortable year-round. Residential or commercial, the approach is the same: find out what is actually wrong, explain it clearly, and fix it correctly.
This is the kind of HVAC work neighbors pass along by word of mouth, and that reputation means more to us than any advertisement.
We'll find the fault and set it right.
Noticing uneven temperatures or a spike in energy bills? Those are often the first signs that something in your system needs attention, and catching it early usually means a simpler, less expensive repair.
We cover the full range of residential heating and cooling work. On the cooling side, that means AC repair and service when a system stops keeping up, and full system replacement when a unit has reached the end of its useful life. On the heating side, we handle furnace repair and replacement, heat pump repair and installation, and boiler and hydronic heating service, which matters in a climate where a heating failure is never just an inconvenience. For homes moving toward more efficient setups, we install cold-climate heat pumps and ductless mini-split systems designed to perform even when temperatures drop well below zero.
Beyond the core equipment, we install thermostats and smart controls that make it easier to manage your comfort and your energy use. We address indoor air quality concerns with filtration and air quality systems suited to the dry winters and allergy seasons the area sees each year. Whole-home humidifier installation is something we handle regularly here, because Minnesota winters pull the moisture out of a home fast and the effects show up in everything from dry skin to cracked woodwork.
When repair is no longer the right call, we give honest recommendations on repair versus replacement, never an upsell. The goal is always to put you in the best position for the long run, not to sell you equipment you do not need.
Seasonal maintenance and tune-ups round out the picture. A furnace tune-up before the first hard freeze and an AC check before the first hot stretch each do real work to prevent the calls nobody wants to make in the middle of a weather extreme.
We'll service the system and clean up after.
The sooner you call, the sooner your comfort is back, and in a Minnesota winter, that is not a figure of speech. A furnace that stops working on a January night is a genuine emergency, and a failed AC system in the middle of a July heat stretch is not far behind it. We take both seriously.
Same-day HVAC service is available for urgent situations, and we respond to after-hours calls when the heat or cooling goes out and waiting until morning is not a reasonable option. Our technicians come prepared to diagnose and address the most common failure points on the first visit, because an extra trip back is an extra day of discomfort for you.
When you call with an emergency, you reach someone who can actually help. We will get a technician moving toward your address as quickly as we can manage.
Fast diagnosis. Honest pricing. Comfort restored.
One ring and we're rolling.
Don't let a small problem turn into a no-heat night or a no-cool afternoon, and don't let pricing uncertainty be the reason you wait too long to call. We understand that HVAC work can feel like a black box when it comes to cost, and we work to take that uncertainty out of the process.
When a technician arrives for a diagnostic visit, the job starts with a thorough look at the system and a clear explanation of what was found. Before any repair work begins, we walk through what needs to be done and what it will cost. No surprises after the fact, no charges that appear on a final bill without having been discussed first. If the scope changes once work is underway, we talk to you before we proceed.
Call for a quote or schedule an inspection and we will give you a straight answer on what the work involves and what you can expect to pay. That is how we have operated since 2015, and it is not something we plan to change.
Commercial properties have their own set of demands, and a system failure during business hours carries real costs. We work with office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and property managers across the area who need reliable HVAC service without the runaround.
The same same-day availability we offer residential customers applies here. When a rooftop unit goes down or a commercial heating system stops performing, we respond with the same urgency and the same diagnostic approach. Our technicians are experienced with the equipment and configurations common to commercial properties in this region, and they perform code-compliant work on every job regardless of the size of the building.
If you manage multiple properties or need a team that can handle both routine seasonal maintenance and urgent repairs, call us and we can talk through what your properties need. Qualified HVAC technicians, clear communication, and no surprises on the bill are the same promise we make to every commercial client we serve.
Minnetonka is home base, and it is where most of our calls come from. We also serve the communities surrounding it throughout Hennepin County, including Plymouth, Hopkins, Eden Prairie, St. Louis Park, Wayzata, Excelsior, Deephaven, and Chaska.
If you are in the area and need heating or cooling work, there is a good chance we have already worked on a system in your neighborhood. Call to confirm we cover your address and to get a technician scheduled.
We have been serving Minnetonka and the surrounding area since 2015, which puts us at eleven years in business. Over that time we have worked on homes and commercial properties throughout western Hennepin County and built most of our customer base through referrals from people we have already helped. That kind of reputation matters to us and shapes how we approach every job.
Yes. We have been working in Minnetonka and the surrounding communities for over a decade, and our technicians know the equipment and housing types common to this part of Minnesota. Older homes with original ductwork, newer builds with more complex HVAC setups, and everything in between are all part of what we see regularly in the area.
Qualified HVAC technicians perform all of the work we schedule. When you call us, you reach the people who actually show up, and the technician who arrives is trained and experienced in the heating and cooling work this climate demands. We do not hand jobs off to unfamiliar crews.
We believe the job is not done until you understand what was found, what was done, and what you paid for. That means a clear explanation before work begins, honest pricing throughout, and a technician who treats your home or building with care. We have operated this way since 2015 and it is not something we plan to change.
If a problem we addressed comes back, call us and we will come back out to look at it. We stand behind the work we do, and if the repair did not hold the way it should have, we make it right. Our goal is for every job to be done correctly the first time, and when that falls short we address it directly.
We stand behind the work our technicians perform. If something we repaired or installed does not perform as it should, we want to know about it and we will come back to address it. Call us at (612) 665-6289 if you have a concern about work we have done.
We schedule jobs with realistic time windows and keep customers informed if a prior job runs longer than expected. Our technicians do not rush through a job to make the next appointment, because a repair done quickly but incorrectly just creates another call. If your window shifts, we will let you know as early as we can.
Clear Skies Heating and Air is ready to help with whatever your heating or cooling system needs, whether that is a same-day emergency call, a seasonal tune-up, or a full system replacement you have been putting off. We have been doing this work in Minnetonka since 2015, and the way we operate has not changed: show up on time, do the work right, and make sure you know exactly what you are paying before the work begins.
Call (612) 665-6289 to request a quote or schedule a service visit. We are available for routine appointments and urgent calls alike, and someone who knows this area and this trade will pick up.
Fair price each visit. On time each visit. Code-compliant every time.
We handle the full range of heating and cooling work for Minnetonka homeowners, landlords, and businesses, from a furnace that quit overnight to a full system replacement you have been putting off. Every service below is something we do regularly in this area, and we give you straight answers on what the job involves before any work begins. If you are not sure which service fits your situation, call us and we will point you in the right direction.

How do I know whether my system needs a repair or a full replacement?
We look at the age and overall condition of the equipment, the nature of the problem, and what a repair would cost relative to the system's remaining useful life. A system that is 15 years old or older, has a history of repeated breakdowns, or is no longer keeping the home comfortable even when running is worth evaluating honestly. We give you straight numbers on both options and let you make the call. We do not steer you toward replacement if a repair makes sense.
What are the signs that I should call a technician now rather than wait?
Weak airflow from the vents, warm air when the AC is running, a furnace that cycles on and off without reaching temperature, unusual sounds from the equipment, or a system that runs constantly without keeping up are all signs worth acting on promptly. In a Minnesota winter, a furnace that is struggling is closer to a failure than it might seem. Catching a problem early usually means a simpler repair and a lower cost.
Is same-day or emergency service available for a system that has completely stopped working?
Yes. We take emergency calls for systems that are completely down, homes with no heat, and situations where waiting even a day is not an option. Call us, describe what the system is doing and when it stopped, and we will get a technician moving your direction as quickly as we can. Same-day HVAC service is available for urgent situations.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We take urgent calls for no-heat and no-cool situations and work to get a technician out the same day. In a Minnesota winter, a furnace failure is not something you can wait on, and we treat it that way.
Why is one room in my home always hotter or colder than the rest?
Uneven temperatures are often caused by leaky or undersized ductwork, a damper that is not opening fully, or an airflow imbalance in the distribution system. In some cases the issue is with the equipment itself. A duct inspection is usually the right first step. We locate the problem, explain what is causing it, and give you a clear estimate before any work begins.
How often should I schedule maintenance and tune-ups?
A spring AC tune-up and a fall furnace tune-up are the two most effective things you can do to avoid a breakdown when the weather turns. Annual maintenance keeps the equipment running efficiently, catches small problems before they become larger ones, and gives a trained technician a chance to inspect the heat exchanger, burners, refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and safety controls. Booking a few weeks ahead of the season keeps you ahead of the rush.
Why would my furnace or AC stop heating or cooling even when it appears to be running?
A system that runs but does not condition the air is usually dealing with a refrigerant issue, a dirty evaporator or condenser coil, a failed compressor or blower motor, or a control problem. For furnaces, a cracked heat exchanger, a failed igniter, or a blocked flue can all cause the system to run without producing heat. A technician will diagnose the root cause and explain what the repair involves before any work begins.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins and explain what the job involves so there are no surprises. The price we quote reflects the actual work, and we do not adjust it after the fact without telling you first.
What does a seasonal tune-up actually cover?
A maintenance visit covers filter checks, electrical connections, refrigerant levels, burner and ignition performance, heat exchanger inspection, blower motor condition, thermostat calibration, and a full system run to verify everything is operating correctly. The goal is to catch anything that could cause a failure during the season and to make sure the system is as efficient as possible heading into peak demand.
Should I repair or replace an older furnace that needs work again?
The honest answer depends on the age of the equipment, the cost of the repair, and how the system has been performing overall. A furnace that is 15 to 20 years old and has already needed multiple repairs in recent years is often close to the end of its useful life. We give you a straight read on the equipment's condition and walk through the numbers so you can decide with full information. We do not push replacement if a repair is the right call.
Work Performed by Qualified HVAC Technicians
Every job, whether it is a routine tune-up or a full system replacement, is handled by trained technicians who know this equipment and this climate. We take the work seriously on every call.
What does a cold-climate heat pump installation involve, and is it realistic in Minnesota?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps are rated to operate efficiently down to around -15 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes them a realistic option for this region for the first time. Installation involves selecting the right system for your home's size and layout, removing or integrating with existing equipment, installing the indoor and outdoor units, and commissioning the system. We also install ductless mini-splits for spaces that lack existing ductwork. We help you understand whether a heat pump makes sense as a primary system or as a supplement to an existing furnace.
How does a whole-home humidifier work, and why does it matter in Minnesota?
A whole-home humidifier connects directly to your HVAC system and introduces controlled moisture into the air throughout the house automatically, based on your thermostat settings. Minnesota winters pull moisture out of indoor air quickly, and forced-air heating makes it worse. The result is dry skin, irritated sinuses, static electricity, and woodwork that shrinks and cracks over a long season. A whole-home system is far more effective than portable units because it treats the entire home rather than a single room.
How do estimates and pricing work before a job begins?
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins and explain what the diagnostic process involves so you know what to expect from the first visit. We do not quote a low price to get in the door and adjust it later. The price we quote reflects the actual job. If the scope changes once we are into the work, we tell you before we proceed.
