What we see on calls around Minneapolis
About 75 percent of East Harriet's housing was built in 1939 or earlier, one of the highest shares of prewar homes in the country. Houses that old often still have hot water heat, small closets with no room for ductwork and water heaters vented through old chimneys, which shapes nearly every call we take here. We plan East Harriet jobs around those three things.
East Harriet homes
Older homes near Lake Harriet
A yearly boiler service is the cheapest way to keep an old hot water system reliable: cleaning, checking the expansion tank, testing the relief valve and the circulator. Baseboard additions and repairs keep newer rooms on the same system.
For cooling, ductless heads avoid opening plaster walls for ductwork. When a water heater is replaced, we check how it vents, since the old chimney may need a liner once the boiler is gone or replaced.
Through the year
Winter and summer in East Harriet
Winter calls in East Harriet are boilers that lock out, baseboard loops that stay cold and older water heaters giving up during the first deep cold.
Summer calls are hot upper floors in houses without central air, where ductless heads are the usual fix.
