HVAC in Cloquet, MN: the houses and the fuel
HVAC service in Cloquet, MN means furnaces and boilers in a mill town about twenty miles west of Duluth, plus the farmhouses and cabins around it. The fire of October 1918 burned most of the city, so a large share of the older homes here date from the rebuilding that followed, and they have been through a century of heating systems since.
Houses
Median year built: 1964
About 27% of Cloquet homes were built before 1940, and about 15% since 2000 (Census ACS 2024).
Heating fuel

About 21% heat with electricity, 10% with propane and 5% with fuel oil, so not every call is a gas furnace.

Propane and fuel oil outside town
One Cloquet home in seven heats with propane or fuel oil, mostly on the larger lots and rural roads where the gas main doesn't reach. A propane furnace uses a different gas valve setting and burner orifices than a natural gas one, so a furnace moved from one fuel to the other has to be converted, not just hooked up. An oil furnace or boiler needs its nozzle and filter changed and its burner tuned every year, or it soots up and runs poorly.
If the propane tank runs dry, the furnace locks out. Most propane suppliers check the lines for leaks before they relight the appliances, so call them first, then call about the furnace if it still won't start.

Cloquet questions
Asked in Carlton County.
Do you work in Cloquet and the towns around it?
+
Yes: Cloquet, Esko, Scanlon and Carlton, and the rural roads between them.
Can you work on a propane furnace?
+
Yes. Propane furnaces use the same parts as natural gas furnaces, with a different gas valve setting and burner orifices. If yours was converted from natural gas, say so when you call.
Which rebates apply to a new furnace or heat pump in Cloquet?
+
For gas equipment, Minnesota Energy Resources runs the rebates; for heat pumps, your electric utility does. The amounts change every year, so check the current lists before you buy.
My house was built in the 1920s. Can it get a high-efficiency furnace?
+
Usually, yes. A high-efficiency furnace vents through plastic pipe out a side wall instead of up the chimney, so the work includes new venting and a drain for the condensate.
