Best Emergency Furnace Repair in Saint Paul MN

After dealing with two places that blatantly tried to rip me off (one wanted $1100 to change an inducer motor which is a $100/15 min job) I ended up replacing most of my furnace parts myself by watching youtube videos and finding the parts on amazon/ebay. It's about as simple as unplugging and plugging the new part in most of the time, but with the blower motor I ended up tightening a screw too tight and it locked the shaft onto the housing. I called Aabbott Ferraro and I couldn't possibly have been happier with Tim, the tech who managed to fix something that had been a nightmare for me to deal with. The hourly rate seemed high, but he worked quick and efficiently despite the unusual problem I created, so the final bill was much lower than expected. Thanks Tim! The owner and the person answering the phone were also helpful. I can't speak for the other techs there, but I would definitely recommend this company anyone having furnace issues.

UPDATE: I received a call, the same day, shortly after writing this review. My boyfriend's refund was approved and in the bank the next day. I'm sure it was just a coincidence on timing from review to phone call to refund. I still stick with my original review on this company, however. The refund is definitely appreciated. But it should not have taken the length of time it did.Original: I strongly advise against using this company. We used Angi to find another company that works on basements for a second opinion. There was an auto call from this company to set up an appt. When I did end up talking to someone, I explained our issue in detail. They scheduled an appt for the same day (which I thought was awesome). Guy came, walked down to our basement, said they do not work on the problem we have and charged us the $75 dispatch fee. (The fee was explained to us when I scheduled and I was totally fine with that if the person could give us some insight/second opinion). But the person did nothing. Didn't inspect anything or offer guidance on possible next steps. My BF paid for the visit since I wasn't home. I called that afternoon asking why we were charged for literally nothing except for a guy to drive out to tell us they don't work on this issue. I asked for a refund. Got told my request would be sent to someone else. Never heard back. This was July 5th. I have since called a few more times (4-5 at this point) and have been told the same thing over and over again. Today, August 14th, I was told it's still pending manager approval. At this point, I am sure I am getting the run around and I feel like they're just waiting for us to forget about it. I was going to wait to write this review until the issue has been settled. I feel like I have been beyond patient at this point and my calls are going no where. The people I have talked to seem polite and professional enough. But I cannot recommend this company based on this experience alone. Maybe others have had better luck.

We were really happy with McQuillan to help us replace our water heater. Conor was knowledgeable and respectful, and very helpful in making a big decision. We would recommend them to others for sure!

We needed to get a new boiler and had multiple places come out to do a bid. Not only was Metro the best value, but they were so easy to work with. Andrew S and Josh A were our two technicians, and they did a fantastic job. Then, once they finished, Andrew didn't laugh at us (at least not to our faces) when we had him give us a step by step guide on how to do everything with our new boiler. (We took copious notes and, again, he didn't laugh.) Our new boiler takes up SO much less space, is energy efficient, and we're so pleased with our experience with Metro Heating and Cooling.

Dan was professional, knowledgeable, neat and efficient…a very positive experience.

When our wall mounted boiler (radiant floor heat & hot water supply) suddenly went out I searched for someone familiar with this technology and Krinkie's was listed on the manufacturer's web site. They responded immediately and the tech who arrived was able to diagnose the problem, it turned out that the itemized cost to repair was not worth sinking into equipment that was beyond expected lifetime. He arranged for Joe, Master-Plumber, electrical wizard and all around engineering wizard to provide an estimate for replacement with design tweaks to enhance system and cut energy costs. They installed the system the next day (Saturday) and have since upgraded/replaced our thermostats to Alexa-enabled, remote-sensing Ecobee's that provide incredibly easy-to-use zone heating throughout the house. It's pure luxury to adjust temps anywhere via Alexa and to be able to monitor our home's temperatures, humidity and air quality from anywhere. I can highly recommend all of the technicians at Krinkie's and am blown-away by the depth of knowledge and technical prowess of Joe specifically!

Got us in right away, they completed on the same day.

Everyone I have worked with at Aquarius thus far has been great. Although my experience with the product itself has been horrible. I’ve had technicians at my home several times since having my water softener installed in late January. I’ve had everything installed from Aquarius and my water quality is still poor aside from the RO system. We have been dealing with the hard water feeling since day 1, strong chlorine smells in the water (we purchased the chlorine system to fix this), yellow stains in our toilets/bath tubs, and most recently high iron content in the water (they said this was the cause of the hard water feeling). Aquarius installed an iron filter for us a few days ago and since then we have had a black film cover our bathtub every night after giving our toddler a bath. Also, we had a huge blowout from the new system in our basement of black dust that covered almost our entire room.

I don’t know if we have just had bad luck, but our neighbors who utilized different companies for their softeners haven’t had any issues at all. As I said earlier my interactions with everyone at Aquarius has been awesome, but at this point regret my buying decision.

***After all this they came a made things right! Everything is working great now.

After getting bids from two other well-known reputable companies, I decided I wanted the work done by Champion Plumbing. Matt G installed a water heater for me. His work was expertly done in a timely manner. He didn’t mind me watching him and answering my questions. He offered a lot of great advice and other tips….Just an overall great guy! Thank you very much!

I called Janecky from a referral through a friend of mine. They took my call, responded to my needs quickly, scheduled an installation same day, dealt with removing my water softener, water meter and other things to get them out of the way in my compact utility room so that they could remove my 13 year old water heater which was behind all of that, then installed the new water heater. They reinstalled all of equipment back to spec and restored our hot water without any leaks all for the exact price quoted to me by phone.

I’m very pleased.

Thank you!

We had a leak at our water main shut off from a manufacturer defect. I called the emergency service number and they arrived within few hours and made the repairs in about 20 minutes. Great level of service!
