Quick answer
NHA VFD serves St. Louis Park from its Cahill Rd office a short drive south on Highway 100. Most calls are furnace and air conditioner replacements in post-war Cape Cods and ramblers, ductless heads for half-story bedrooms, and chimney liners when a new furnace leaves the water heater venting alone.
What we see on calls around Minneapolis
St. Louis Park built about 60 percent of its housing in one burst in the late 1940s and 1950s, and 96 percent of its single-family homes predate 1970, most of them Cape Cods or small ramblers. Small homes like these are easy to oversize, and when the old furnace leaves the chimney for a condensing unit, the water heater left behind often needs a liner to vent safely.
St. Louis Park homes
Cape cods, small ramblers and the chimney question
The typical St. Louis Park furnace replacement is a right-sizing job: a load calculation on a small house usually calls for less capacity than the original nameplate. A two-stage or modulating furnace keeps a small house more even than a big single-stage unit cycling on and off.
The second issue is the chimney. Once the furnace vents through the side wall, a gas water heater alone in an oversized masonry chimney can draft poorly and condense. A properly sized liner fixes that, and we check draft before we leave.
Through the year
Winter and summer in St. Louis Park
Winter in St. Louis Park brings furnace calls in compact basements, and upstairs half-story bedrooms in Cape Cods that never get enough heat through the original ducts.
Summer is when those same half-story rooms overheat. A ductless head upstairs usually cools them better than trying to push more air through ducts that were never sized for them.

Questions we get on the phone
Questions from St. Louis Park customers
The half-story bedrooms usually have small, long duct runs; a ductless head is often the best fix.
It can. A condensing furnace stops sharing the chimney, so the water heater may need a liner.
Usually, if a load calculation says so. Oversized furnaces cycle more and heat unevenly.
