HVAC in Hermantown, MN: a younger town than its neighbors
HVAC service in Hermantown, MN covers the newer subdivisions and the rural lots just past the Duluth city line. Half of Hermantown's homes were built in 1993 or later, and about four in ten since 2000, so most of the furnaces here are high-efficiency models venting through plastic pipe, and a good share of houses mix a heat pump with a furnace.

What Hermantown homes call about
Propane on the bigger lots
About one Hermantown home in five heats with propane, far more than in Duluth or Superior, because the gas main doesn't reach every road. A propane furnace runs like a gas furnace with its own gas valve setting and orifices, and it shares one weak spot with every rural system: if the tank runs low in a cold snap, the furnace locks out. Keep an eye on the gauge in January.

Hermantown questions
Asked just past the city line.
Do you work in Hermantown?
+
Yes, across the city, and in Proctor and Rice Lake too.
What is a dual-fuel system?
+
A heat pump paired with a gas or propane furnace. The heat pump heats the house in mild weather, and the furnace takes over when it gets cold enough that the furnace is the cheaper or stronger choice.
Which rebates apply in Hermantown?
+
Gas furnace rebates come through Minnesota Energy Resources and heat pump rebates through Minnesota Power. They change every year, so check the current lists before you buy.
My furnace is from the 1990s. Should I replace it?
+
Not just for its age. If it heats well and passes its inspection, keep it. If it needs a big repair, compare that price with a new furnace before deciding.
