Protecting Minneapolis Families From Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Since 2008
Call (651) 403-6300 – 24/7 Emergency Response – 30-Minute Guaranteed Response Time
Our Mission: Every Call Is a Life-Saving Opportunity
At MplsCOEmergency, we don’t just fix furnaces – we prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. For over 17 years, we’ve been Minneapolis’ trusted guardian against the silent killer that threatens families throughout our city’s brutal winters.
Our mission is simple: To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning in Minneapolis families through rapid emergency response, expert detection, and proactive maintenance – treating every call as a life-saving opportunity rather than just another repair job.
Meet Mike: Your Local CO Safety Expert
Owner and Lead Technician Mike founded MplsCOEmergency after witnessing preventable family injuries from carbon monoxide poisoning. Living locally in Minneapolis, Mike understands the unique challenges our city faces – from brutal winters that stress heating systems to the specific housing types that make CO detection critical.
With 17+ years of experience fixing dangerous furnaces in Minneapolis, Mike has built a team dedicated to one goal: keeping your family safe from carbon monoxide exposure.
Why Local Expertise Matters
Minneapolis winters are unlike anywhere else. Our heating systems work harder, longer, and under more stress than most places in the country. Mike’s deep understanding of how our climate affects HVAC systems means faster, more accurate diagnoses and solutions that actually work in Minnesota conditions.

Carbon Monoxide Specialization
While other companies treat CO issues as just another repair, we specialize in carbon monoxide detection and prevention. We understand that cracked heat exchangers, blocked vents, and poor maintenance create life-threatening situations. Learn about the causes of CO leaks and understand furnace age and CO risk factors. We also provide guidance on gas vs electric furnace safety considerations.
Advanced Detection Equipment
We use professional-grade CO detection tools that go far beyond basic home detectors. Our equipment can pinpoint exact sources and concentrations, ensuring complete safety for your family. We also offer CO detector installation and CO safety inspections. Learn about proper CO detector placement for maximum protection.
Educational Approach
We teach prevention, not just fix problems. Our customers learn how to recognize signs of CO poisoning, understand what to do during a CO leak, and prevent future emergencies. Visit our CO safety resources for comprehensive safety information.
Common CO Dangers We Address
Heat Exchanger Issues
The primary source of carbon monoxide in homes. Minneapolis’ brutal winters cause furnaces to work overtime, leading to stress fractures in heat exchangers. We specialize in heat exchanger inspections and furnace repair and heat exchanger replacement. Learn more about cracked heat exchanger warning signs.
Weather-Related Problems
Snow, ice, and debris can block exhaust vents, causing CO to back up into your home. Our team understands Minneapolis-specific weather challenges and knows exactly where to look. Read our guide on CO leaks in winter to understand seasonal risks.
Maintenance Neglect
Dirty filters and neglected systems create incomplete combustion, producing dangerous CO levels. Our furnace maintenance customers rarely experience emergencies. Check out our CO safety checklist for prevention tips.
