There are many solutions, including adding ductwork or piping from the existing heating system, installing a ductless mini split, or even another larger, more complete system. To get started with these services, call Northstar Services for central air conditioning in Duluth, MN. 

  • What is an on demand tankless water heater or combi high efficiency boiler?

    A tankless water heater or combi boiler is a high-efficiency, typically wall-hung gas or electric water heating unit. It can heat water very quickly at high capacities to meet your home's demand for hot water. Some units called combi units can heat your heating pipes and your hot faucet water with the same unit. This saves space and reduces energy use with almost no standby loss of a conventional boiler or water heater. We offer boiler repair in Duluth, MN, so give us a call to get started with our services.

  • Why is my furnace blowing cold air and not heating?

    The most common cause of the furnace blowing cold air is the air filter has gotten too dirty. Try replacing the dirty filter, then turn the furnace power off and back on. If this does not reset the furnace then it must be reset by a professional. If you need heating or cooling services in Duluth, MN, give us a call right away!

  • My air conditioner is running but not blowing cold air. Do I need to recharge it every year?

    It should not be necessary to recharge your air conditioner every year. If so, you have a significant leak and according to the EPA, it must be repaired. Also, check the air filter in your furnace. It is part of the A/C and must be clean. Any other repairs require an EPA-certified technician. We offer ductless heating and cooling in Duluth, MN. We'd love to assist you with your needs.

  • How do I know it's time to replace my furnace or air conditioner?

    Have your equipment inspected by a professional technician to determine the efficiency, safety, and overall condition. Of course, if it is found to be unsafe, it must be repaired or replaced ASAP! Other factors like low efficiency, continuous repair expenses, or just old age may prompt you to consider an upgrade.
