Our technician Chance called before he arrived. We are looking to replace our air conditioner and furnace. He was friendly, answered every single question I had, didn’t pressure me into a sale (which I really appreciated) and was extremely thorough and patient in explaining the replacement options. He even weighed with me the option of keeping our old current system with R22 Freon and trying to extend its life by another year or two. I felt comfortable and totally recommend him.

To start with the positive; they were extremely efficient, the employee was extremely kind and explained things well. But the price was just waaaay too out of line. We had a mini split freon leak diagnosed, and refilled with new freon and stop-leak. The serviceman was not optimic about it, and it ended up holding for only 12 hours before it stopped working again, but the bill was still $2,100. Again the service was great, nothing personal, but the pricing is crazy.

We've used One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning for a few years but recently started using their Northfield location. Greg was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. He answered any questions I had and was extremely knowledgeable. The office staff have always been easy to contact and prompt in their responses as well!

Greg came out and did the free annual check on our 26 year old furnace. He didn't try to sell us a new one- said ours is old but working well. He was personable, polite, and thorough. We will definitely keep calling Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and Heating for our needs in this area. Very happy.

Cory was on time and thoroughly checked out my furnace. He let me know that the company who installed it 3 years ago installed a furnace that is to small for my home and because of that the AC we needed to install 6 months after is also to small and we probably didn't need the windows we had installed because our house is still to cold in the winter, and to hot in the summer! Nice!!🤬

This company just gave us the run around and charged $220 to tell us there was nothing they could do. They told us we would need a total system replacement for a burnt out relay on the board. They said the board alone would be at least $2000. Replaced the board ourselves for
$250 and cleaned the returns and furnace is working fine again. Was quoted on the phone when making the appointment that it would be $89 for them to come out but nothing was mentioned about the over $100 “diagnostic” charge once all was said and done- or should I say not done. Very dishonest business practices.

The online appointment request system was easy. In a follow up phone call I was offered an earlier appointment. Commuication was excellent. I was sent a photo and name of the technician prior to the appointment. They arrived on time, they found the problem and fixed it, explained the process to me, answered all my questions and cleaned up carefully before they left.

I appreciate the prompt response to my request to do a tuneup on my furnace. He let me watch and ask questions, he did excellent work and even more than I expected, and he was on time which was very important. Some companies schedule you an appointment, and then they don’t come - and then they expect you to reschedule.

Very happy with the service provided by Cory. It was a 3 day project. He worked late on the last day to complete the replacement of our boiler. He was very friendly and was sensitive to our needs. Final result was like a work of art - see attached photo.

Cory was super helpful when we were in a difficult situation. A relative discovered the heat was out in our home while we were on vacation. He assisted with placing space heaters in critical areas and draining all water lines so there was no damage to our house in the extremely cold weather. He installed a new furnace quickly and kept me updated throughout the process. -Thank you Cory!

Had a problem with one of the zones on our boiler system. Tried a couple things my self, didn't work. One hour heating sent out corey, he found the problem. Had to wait on parts but got the job done and heat working when they came in a few days later. Was respectful and didn't mind the animals!

Andrew Macmahon came to look at our kitchen sink drain that also had a garbage disposal, we hadn’t used it in the 5 years we lived here, it was draining real slow. He ended up removing the disposal, he was friendly and a great plumber. We really couldn’t afford the $700 but needed it done, wish you would have a discount for senior citizens.

Jerry Wicklund

We live out in the country with our own well which is quite shallow and is subject to having unwanted chemicals, our old Reverse Osmosis system became outdated so we had to replace it with a new modern system. After researching we decided to go with a system the Benjamin Franklin Franchise had to offer in nearby Waterford just outside of Northfield. Their service has always been outstanding, experiened professional office staff and installers. Protect your family and friends, especially the young ones.
We thought the price was reasonable and also received generous bonus Veterans discount. From Audrey and Jerry Wicklund.

Cory was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. We have had other techs look at our heating system, all of who were beyond confused. He wasn’t confused and knew exactly what was needed to be corrected with out hesitation. I highly recommend them and Cory to service your heat and ac system. The picture attached is of the new boiler install, in progress. The repair is complete now.

Cory was AMAZING! He gave us some bad news about our furnace but his customer service skills were out of this world in my opinion. He was prompt and on time. Very informative of what was going on and took the time to explain things in a way we could understand. They will be installing a new furnace tomorrow and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend using their services.

I liked the text notice that Tom was on the way. He came in, and after a brief inspection and discussion let me know what he thought the issue was with the water heater, showed me what he was going to do, then showed me what he did, and now the water heater is working. Nice job!

Update!

I believe you get a true measure of customer service from a company when things don’t go according to plan. How does that company move towards the solution? Within an hour of my previous post, I had two technicians at my house. Very accountable and apologetic for my previous experience. I truly appreciate their diligence in making this right. Don’t go anywhere else for your heating and cooling needs these guys really care. Thanks again fellas.

Our water heater was acting up. Sometimes overly hot water. Sometimes the water was too cool. Trevor ran tests and determined we could replace a part or put in a new water heater. We decided to go with a new one. He did it today. Our Christmas celebration is in two days. Now we can safely host our family.

I highly recommend this company! My new home came with a 38 year old HVAC system. We were able to replace the entire system with an energy efficient system which included an electrostatic air filtration unit. Love my beautiful Trane system. The technicians were great in communicating with me throughout the project, to ensure the installation was successful. Thank you!!

I sensed an inconsistent unpleasant odor. Jaymeson, One Hour, did what another company was unable to do. He diagnosed, solved, and fixed the gas leaks. He showed me the cause of the fumes was emitting from a pipe that is no longer excepted in "code" Materials he used are much better the cheap-looking pipes the other company had on the furnace. I am impressed with Jaymeson's knowledge and expertise and he is a very polite gentleman. I switched companies. I can trust on One Hour and Ben Franklin. Dustin also found a leak in the water heater. Yay!

HVAC Repair Company Elko, MN

Your Trusted Partner for HVAC Repair in Elko, MN

We know how unpredictable Minnesota’s seasons can feel. One day, the sunshine bakes the lawn, and the next, you’re scrambling for the thermostat to ward off a chilly breeze. That’s why our SouthSota One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning team stands ready to keep you comfortable no matter what the weather decides. Our mission is to provide dependable HVAC services in Elko that help you focus on the things that matter most rather than worrying about your home’s temperature.

We’ve worked with families who woke up shivering in the middle of the night and with business owners who felt the sweat rolling down their backs when the AC faltered. We understand the stress when your system stalls. We want you to know there’s a local team in your corner, ready to bring warmth in winter and cool relief in summer.

Expert HVAC Repair Services in Elko

We take pride in offering a wide array of support to homeowners and businesses in the area. We aim to keep your space cozy in the snowy months and breezy in the scorching season.

Below is a glimpse of what we do:

Heating System Repair and Installation: From faulty blowers to cracked heat exchangers, we diagnose issues and fix them fast. If an older furnace needs replacing, we suggest options that balance energy efficiency and your budget.
Air Conditioning Repair and Replacement: When the summer sun hits, a dependable AC becomes your best friend. We tackle coolant leaks, broken fans, and thermostat glitches. If you’re ready for a new unit, we can size and install it for maximum comfort.
Heat Pump Services: Heat pumps deliver heating and cooling in a single setup. We maintain, repair, and install them so you can enjoy year-round comfort without juggling multiple systems.
Duct Cleaning and Sealing: Dust and debris can clog up your ducts, hampering airflow and impacting air quality. We clear obstructions and seal leaks to help you breathe more easily.
Boiler and Radiant Heat Solutions: Some folks prefer the even warmth of a boiler or radiant floor system. We keep these systems running smoothly so you can enjoy gentle, steady heat.
Indoor Air Quality Upgrades: Dry winter air or humid summer air can create discomfort. We install humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and air purifiers to improve your home’s indoor environment.
Thermostat Upgrades: Modern thermostats bring better control and often reduce energy costs. We handle everything from simple digital units to advanced smart devices.
Preventative Maintenance Plans: Regular tune-ups reduce emergencies and help equipment last longer. We perform system checks, clean components, and spot minor issues before they become big problems.
Emergency Services: If your furnace quits on a frozen night, we do our best to respond quickly. Our team knows that comfort can’t wait until morning.

We aim to keep our trucks stocked with common parts so we can finish many repairs on the first trip. That saves you time, inconvenience, and added expenses.

When to Call for HVAC Repair Services in Elko

Sometimes, a system fails outright, and you know you need help immediately. Other times, the signs creep up on you, leaving you unsure whether it’s time to make that call.

We’ve compiled a list of signals that may mean your unit wants some attention:

Sudden Hikes in Your Utility Bill: If the bill jumps but your daily routine hasn’t changed, your furnace or AC could be chugging harder than it should.
Weak or Inconsistent Airflow: Vents that barely blow air can strain the entire system. A quick inspection can restore the circulation you’re used to.
Unusual Noises or Smells: Clanks, bangs, or squeaks often indicate parts that need replacing. Musty or burnt odors could indicate problems with wiring or filters.
Frequent Cycling: If your furnace or AC shuts off and restarts rapidly, the thermostat or a sensor might malfunction.
Hot and Cold Spots: One room feels like a sauna, while the next is as cold as a freezer. That imbalance may stem from leaky ducts, a faulty blower, or blocked vents.
Unresponsive Thermostat: A failing thermostat might show the wrong temperature, ignore your settings, or die altogether. That small device can create big headaches when it fails.
Stuffy or Humid Indoor Air: Poor humidity control can leave you feeling sticky in summer or parched in winter. A checkup might solve these issues.
Foul-Smelling Drain Lines: If you smell a funky odor near your AC drain or furnace exhaust, blockages or mold growth may be the cause.
System Age: With regular upkeep, most units last a decade or so. If yours is older and acting up, a repair or replacement could save you hassle.

If any of these descriptions match what you’re dealing with, we’re here to help. A proactive call might help you dodge a complete meltdown later.

Why Choose SouthSota One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning?

We believe in good old-fashioned customer service paired with modern know-how. Our technicians show up when we say we will explain in plain language and treat your home respectfully. We’ll keep you in the loop if we need more time than expected. We understand you have a busy schedule, and we value your trust.

Another key difference is our focus on transparent pricing. We lay out costs before the work begins, so you’re not left holding an unexpected bill at the end. We handle minor fixes to large-scale replacements with the same level of care. Whether it’s a quick air filter change or a complete system overhaul, we treat each job as necessary.

FAQ - HVAC Services in Elko, MN

How often should I replace my HVAC filter?

Every one to three months is typical, though pet owners or allergy sufferers might prefer monthly changes. Clean filters keep airflow steady and reduce strain on the system.

What's the average furnace lifespan?

A well-maintained furnace can last 15 years or more, but factors like usage and quality of upkeep affect that figure. We can assess an older unit and recommend the best course.

Do I need to match my new AC with the same brand as my furnace?

Not necessarily. Compatibility matters more than brand matching. We look at capacity, efficiency, and the comfort results you want.

Will a programmable thermostat save me money?

It often does by adjusting temperatures when you’re asleep or away. That means less energy spent heating or cooling an empty house.

Is it worth fixing an ancient air conditioner?

If repairs cost more than half the price of a new unit, or if it breaks down frequently, a replacement might be more budget-friendly in the long run.
