We don’t just fix furnaces – we protect families.
I’m Mike, and in 15 years of doing this work in Minneapolis, I’ve learned that every call is about more than equipment. It’s about keeping families safe, giving parents peace of mind, and making sure everyone goes to sleep without worrying about invisible dangers.

Emergency Services – When Every Second Counts
Emergency Carbon Monoxide Detection
When your CO detector goes off or you suspect a leak, I don’t mess around. I arrive with professional-grade detection equipment that can pinpoint exactly where the problem is and how dangerous it is right now.
What I do when I get to your home:
- Test CO levels in every room and area of your house
- Use specialized equipment to trace the source of any leak
- Provide immediate containment and safety measures
- Map out CO concentrations so we know exactly what we’re dealing with
- Restore proper ventilation and air quality
- Make sure your family is completely safe before I leave
I’ve responded to hundreds of these calls, and I never treat them as routine. When families call me about possible CO, they’re scared, and rightfully so. My job is to either confirm their home is safe or fix the problem immediately.
“Mike showed up at 1 AM when our detector started beeping. He found a small leak we never would have detected ourselves and fixed it on the spot. He probably saved our lives.” – Sarah M., Kingfield
24/7 Emergency CO Response
This is what I’m most known for – when you call, I actually answer. When you need help, I actually show up. In 30 minutes or less, guaranteed.
My emergency response includes:
- Immediate dispatch – I drop everything when families are in danger
- Crisis intervention and safety assessment
- Family evacuation guidance if needed
- Coordination with fire department or paramedics when necessary
- Complete safety verification before declaring your home safe
- Emergency temporary heating if your furnace needs to be shut down
I’ve gotten out of bed, left family dinners, and cut vacations short because someone needed help. That’s not a burden – that’s exactly why I do this work. In 15 years, I’ve never missed my 30-minute guarantee for a true emergency.
Available 24/7/365 – Carbon monoxide doesn’t take holidays, and neither do I.
Emergency Furnace Repair
When your furnace is creating a CO hazard, it needs to be fixed right now – especially in a Minneapolis winter. I specialize in emergency repairs that eliminate carbon monoxide dangers while getting your heat back on safely.
Emergency furnace problems I handle:
- Cracked heat exchangers (the most dangerous CO source)
- Faulty combustion chambers
- Blocked or damaged venting systems
- Burner assembly malfunctions
- Gas valve and control issues
- Complete system failures during winter emergencies
I carry parts for the most common emergency repairs, and I have relationships with suppliers who will meet me after hours for critical components. When a family is without heat and facing CO danger, time matters.
Heat Exchanger Replacement: This is the big one – when a heat exchanger cracks, it can leak deadly CO into your home. I’ve replaced hundreds of these, and I always explain exactly what happened and how to prevent it in the future.
Inspection & Prevention Services – Stopping Problems Before They Start
Professional CO Safety Inspections
Think of this as a comprehensive physical exam for everything in your home that could produce carbon monoxide. I don’t just look – I test, measure, and document everything.
My safety inspection covers:
- Complete furnace combustion analysis
- Heat exchanger inspection with camera equipment
- All gas appliances (water heater, stove, dryer, fireplace)
- Venting and chimney systems
- Home ventilation and air circulation
- CO detector placement and functionality
- Written safety report with photos and recommendations
I’ve found dangerous problems that other companies missed, and I’ve given families peace of mind by confirming their homes are safe. Either way, you’ll know exactly where you stand.
Annual inspections: I recommend yearly safety checks, especially for homes with furnaces over 10 years old. It’s much cheaper than an emergency call, and it’s definitely cheaper than a hospital bill.
Heat Exchanger Inspection & Diagnosis
The heat exchanger is the heart of your furnace, and when it starts to fail, it can kill your family. I use specialized cameras and pressure testing to find problems before they become deadly.
My inspection process:
- Visual inspection with fiber-optic cameras
- Pressure testing to reveal hidden cracks
- Combustion analysis for efficiency and safety
- Detailed photography for documentation
- Clear explanation of findings in plain English
- Honest assessment of repair vs. replacement options
I’ve found hairline cracks that were invisible to the naked eye but could have been fatal within months. I’ve also given families good news when other companies tried to scare them into unnecessary replacements.
The truth about heat exchangers: They don’t last forever, especially in Minneapolis where we run our furnaces hard for 6+ months a year. But not every crack is immediately dangerous, and not every older furnace needs replacement. I’ll give you the straight truth about what you’re dealing with.
Professional CO Detector Installation
The detectors from the hardware store are better than nothing, but they’re not what I’d put in my own home. I install commercial-grade units that respond faster and more accurately to dangerous CO levels.
What makes my installations different:
- Professional-grade detectors with faster response times
- Strategic placement based on your home’s airflow patterns
- Integration with existing security systems when possible
- Calibration testing to ensure accuracy
- Battery backup and maintenance planning
- Multiple detector networks for comprehensive coverage
Proper placement matters: I see detectors installed in the wrong locations all the time. Too close to furnaces, too far from bedrooms, or in areas where they won’t detect problems quickly enough. I know where CO accumulates in different types of homes, and I place detectors accordingly.
Maintenance & Support Services – Keeping Your Family Protected
Furnace Maintenance Programs
Regular maintenance isn’t just about efficiency – it’s about safety. A well-maintained furnace is a safe furnace, and a safe furnace means your family sleeps well at night.
My maintenance service includes:
- Complete combustion analysis and safety testing
- Heat exchanger inspection and cleaning
- Burner cleaning and adjustment
- Filter replacement and air flow optimization
- Gas pressure testing and valve inspection
- Venting system cleaning and inspection
- Safety control testing and calibration
- Detailed report with photos and recommendations
Maintenance plans starting at $99/year: I offer annual and bi-annual programs that keep your furnace running safely and efficiently. Regular customers get priority scheduling and discounted emergency service.
Why maintenance prevents emergencies: Most CO problems develop slowly over time. Regular maintenance catches these issues while they’re still small, safe, and inexpensive to fix.
Insurance Claim Assistance
Dealing with insurance companies after a CO incident is the last thing you should have to worry about. I’ve helped dozens of families navigate the claim process, and I know exactly what documentation insurance companies need.
How I help with your claim:
- Comprehensive damage documentation with professional photography
- Detailed technical reports explaining what happened and why
- Direct communication with insurance adjusters and inspectors
- Expert testimony and technical clarification when needed
- Guidance on restoration contractors and safety requirements
- Support throughout the entire claim process
The insurance reality: Most homeowner’s insurance covers CO damage and emergency repairs, but you need proper documentation. I’ve seen families lose thousands because they didn’t have the right paperwork or technical explanation.
Landlord Safety Services
If you’re a landlord, your tenants’ safety is your legal and moral responsibility. I help property owners meet that responsibility with thorough inspections and clear documentation.
Landlord services include:
- Annual safety inspections for rental compliance
- Multi-unit building assessments
- Tenant safety education and CO detector training
- Emergency response for tenant-reported issues
- Legal compliance documentation and reporting
- Preventive maintenance programs for multiple properties
Why landlords choose me: I understand rental property challenges, and I work with your budget and schedule. I also know what documentation you need to protect yourself legally while keeping tenants safe.
Real Estate CO Safety Audits
Buying a home is scary enough without worrying about hidden dangers. My pre-purchase inspections give families confidence in their biggest investment.
Real estate audit includes:
- Complete home CO safety assessment
- All heating appliances and gas equipment testing
- Venting and ventilation system evaluation
- CO detector placement and functionality review
- Written report with safety ratings and recommendations
- Estimated costs for any necessary repairs or upgrades
For buyers: I’ve found dangerous problems that could have hurt families, and I’ve given peace of mind to hundreds of new homeowners. A $300 inspection can save you thousands and potentially save your life.
For sellers: A clean CO safety audit can be a powerful selling tool and can prevent deal-killing surprises during the buyer’s inspection.
