I had a mini split heating and a/c system installed. Travis, Trenton and Alisa were great! The system was installed, tested and running in just a day and a half. They were neat and careful and answered any questions I had. I would recommend them highly!
Fio, Travis and their crew were great. They showed up on time, got everything done quickly, and didn’t mess around. Super easy to work with and everything turned out exactly how it should. You can tell they know what they’re doing. I’d definitely use them again and recommend them.
I can't say enough good stuff about Minuteman Services. They were able to give me a quote for a complete A/C System install over my existing furnace in about 20 minutes. The price was great and the work is flawless. The people are awesome, really pleasant, and I think our basement was cleaner when they left than when they started. They removed the furnace, built new duct work, installed the A/C, pulled new power of the panel, installed the compressor, ran the lines, charged, cleaned, insulated, tested, the works all in two days. Excellent work, highly recommend!
This company is always efficient and is so great to work with! I work for a property management company, so we work with them a lot, and I've never had any major issues.
I can't recommend this company enough. They are so fair honest and dependable. Great Communication.
Minuteman is the real deal..needed to upgrade my AC unit in preparation for the summer. The boys at Minuteman did a fantastic job installing a new heat pump for my family. If anyone ever has an HVAC problem over here in Idaho Falls definitely give them a call. Great customer service too.
I called Minuteman on aWednesday and they came out Friday to take a look at my AC. My AC has been struggling for awhile and needed an HVAC guy In Idaho Falls to look at my AC. They worked hard and they were able to fix my AC in house the same day. Never been happier
We needed to have a furnace looked at and repaired. We called in the morning and met the technician later on that morning. He diagnosed the problem and fixed it quickly. Very professional and reasonably priced. Will definitely use this business again and recommend them to others!
So many good things about this company! Quick response time, efficient , professional, and have gone above and beyond with super service. They installed a heat pump and mini splits throughout my home last summer. The install took two days and Jordan and Drace and the electricians were so respectful and quiet and cleaned up after themselves. This year I had the electricians install a bathroom exhaust fan with heat and a few other small projects around the house. Again, excellent work and great guys, particularly Shane and Matt. And I can’t forget Jazmyn in the office. She is so personable and takes care of business. Do not hesitate — Minuteman is the best.
Travis and his team communicated really well, were always on time and friendly. They even found a small leak in our crawl space, let me know and also were able to fix it. They worked within our budget to get our new furnace and AC installed. This is our second good experience with minuteman so deal with confidence!
About 8pm we noticed that the house was unusually cool so I went to my thermostat to check the temperature and realized that it wasnt the temp that we had it set to. So we called Minuteman services and they were here within the hour and diagnosed and fixed the issue. It was a very professional service and tech and we were extremely pleased in how they handled our emergency. Highly recommended!
Great service for Shayne and Aaron. Work really fast and cost was affordable. We wanted to power our outdoor kitchen area, we were thinking we'd do it ourselves but we are glad you called the professionals! They had great solutions for what we wanted, no damage to the house, really well done!
They did an electrical inspection for my mom and were very professional and worked with us would highly recommend
Superior service. Showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves. Maintained communication with me every step of the way.
Jordan and Drace were amazing. They were on time, professional, and courteous. I’d highly recommend Minute Man.
Above and beyond! They tracked down the part I needed so I wasn't looking at a whole system replacement. STELLAR SERVICE!
Great to work with, I've used them to run HVAC in basements multiple times
having Jordan and his apprentice help me with my HVAC system was a great experience. Jordan answered all of my questions and concerns. I will definitely be having Jordan/Minuteman Services servicing anything in my home from now on, they were fantastic to work with, thank you!
Drace was magnificent. Most people just replace the board on our furnace he took the time to install a hood to prevent moisture getting to it so it will last longer. He definitely needs a raise 10/10
Great service. The technicians were courteous and professional. They put in a new heat pump in about 5 hours.
All very professional, kind and did an amazing job! Highly recommend!
Shayne does a wonderful job!! He has fixed electrical issues for me twice. Both times he was very informative and efficient. The second time Shayne came to fix an electrical problem, Aaron was with him and he also did a great job! I will use their service again.
Shayne and Dace were at my house fixing my furnace and the breaker. They were so awesome to work with. They had things determined and fixed in a very short time. I would recommend this company first and foremost!!! Great job guys!!!!
The service was great. Jordan was very promt and answered all my questions. Showed me the things he found and recommended diffent types of services.
Thanks Travis! My furnace stopped working while my husband was out of town. I called Minuteman to see when they could come out. They scheduled me for that afternoon. A little while later, Travis called and he was close to me so he came over. He looked at the furnace and found my filter was filled with gunk and said I needed to replace it. Of course there was a new one near by and he replaced it for me. He didn't even charge me for his time. Again thanks Travis for helping me and not making me feel stupid. Minuteman will always be the one I call!
Had Minute Man work on an issue with my smoke detectors. Shayne Baldwin did the work and he was polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Would hire them again no worries and highly recommend Shayne and Minute Man. Arrived promptly and fees were reasonable. Also used them for some HVAC work last summer and same experience. Definitely would call them again if needed.
My furnace wouldn't fire up. I called Minutemen Services and Jordan was there within an hour. I was surprised at how fast they responded. Jordan was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He had it fixed and running within a half hour. He provided the assurance things were running well now. What a relief it is knowing that. I would recommend Minutemen Services and especially Jordan to everyone. Excellent service!
They hooked up us and got things fixed. They also provided some emergency space heaters to get through the night.
I was trying to troubleshoot my furnacemyself because we’re not able to budget in a service call right now. Jordan was amazing and walked me through what to do on the phone. He got our furnace working again and now we have running heat after a VERY cold night and morning!! Thank you so much!! I will definitely be calling them if I need anything in the future!!
Travis fixed our furnace quickly and efficently! He was super nice too
Great service, Jordan was very professional, friendly and fast, he got my electric furnace working again like it’s supposed to!
Super impressed with the whole start to finish experience with minuteman services and Travis. We were left in a tough position from another company that left us without any heat but minuteman was able to help come up with a solution for our older house, get us on their schedule quickly and install all new duct work and heat pump system for a fair price. Highly recommend!
Having my furnace and multiple rooms shut off completely in the height of winter isn't great, I've used Minuteman before, but this was urgent. They got me on schedule same day! The technician was incredible. He diagnosed my electrical panel, replaced it at a fair price, and was back to being toasty in no time! Best electricians in Idaho Falls!
Travis, the sales guy, Trevor, one of the installers, and Jazmyn in the office were all professional, efficient, and kind.
Without a doubt the best company I have ever had the pleasure of working with! They continually stand behind their work. We have had nothing but positive experiences with Minute Man. 10/10 recommend them for any of your heating and cooling needs.
Excellent knowledge, fast repair and very personable. Reasonable pricing. Called in the morning and they were here by noon.
Minuteman relocated the air outlet for our dryer vent, and the experience was excellent. They worked quickly and delivered great results. Jordan, our technician, was friendly, helpful, and really attentive to the details.
Jordan, came and saved the day. Our furnace humidifier decided to wet itself and stop working. Jordan came out quick to diagnose the issue and came the next day to fix it. They are always great to work with anytime an unwanted surprise happens or an upgrade is needed.
Travis and Alonso were great! Along with their partner whose name I can’t remember. Very fast, incredibly competitive pricing, and job well done.
Our rental unit had its furnace fail (it was an old furnace). The team at minuteman was very responsive and was able to immediately go troubleshoot. We elected to have a couple other updates installed while they were working. Their work was great with great pricing compared to competitors. I would highly recommend them and they will be my go-to first call for any heating/cooling needs.
We called with a heating problem. Got us on the schedule very quick. Shayne came out was quick to fix the problem. He even put a new outlet in for us! This was our second time working with Shayne, great to work with! Will definitely call minuteman again.
Jordan came out right away and diagnosed it right away. He was very professional. I highly recommend Minute Man for your HVAC needs. Thank you Jordon
Great company, knowledgeable, Punctual all around great people most definitely have them return for future work
Great response and got my job done quickly. Noticed a potential problem down the road with the venting. Got ahold of me asap and we discussed the issue and they ultimately fixed it. Now my shop heats perfectly. Just a bunch of Great Guys to deal with. Thank You guys so much.
They are good at their job and always nice, but I just got a sick heater. Have to call them more than I'd like
This company was fantastic to work with from start to finish. I first had Ted come over to look at the work I needed done. He was very knowledgeable and professional! Matthew came over to complete four various electrical projects around the house. He added an RV outlet, replaced the doorbell, changed out light switches, and added a new outlet in my basement. He even kindly helped with an additional outlet problem on the spot that I forgot to initially mention. Each area he went to in my home was greatly cared for and he left it spotless. I asked for two business cards to tape to my breaker boxes. If I ever need help in the future, I will happily have them back! Thank you so much Ted and Matthew!
The young lady I talked to this morning was very helpful and took care of me quickly. Jordan, who came today was very kind and fixed this right away very pleased and happy with a service and will use you again. I hope I don’t need to, but now I know where to go.i thought the was a bit much he was only there 15 mins
The whole crew at MinuteMan has been great to work with. Everyone from estimating, install, service calls and billing. I've had them do an upgrade to a heat pump and new furnace as well as a propane heater and 50 amp plugs in the garage. I'm looking forward to having them do work for me in the future.
Excellent service, replied to texts on a weekend night with advice and a few things to try before coming out and fixing the issue! Travis indicated that it could be symptomatic of a failing heat exchanger, which was correct. We ended up having them come and replace the furnace 6mo later, working great! Price was as quoted and competitive with the others.
Shayne did a ton of work on our existing home. Things that needed fixed for years and splitting off a breaker box for a backup generator. Very happy with his work and was a great person to chat with as well! Minuteman will definitely be our first call for any other electrical needs.
Such an incredible company! Responded right away and got us scheduled same day! Thank you for keeping us warm all winter.
Prompt and respectful! They keep you well informed and show up when they say they will. Great experience!
Jordan did an awesome job! Fixed it right up! Always a pleasure to deal with, very fair prices and professional service!
Great service! Super responsive. Will definitely be using them on future projects.
Jordan, Jason and Drace added a humidifier to my furnace in about 2 hours. Settling in for a nice, comfortable winter. Solid work guys, thank you!
I would recommend Minuteman without hesitation. Easy to work with, stand by their products and very knowledgeable.
Minuteman is the only HVAC service I call. They are always trustworthy, great price, and come out quickly. My furnace went out the day before Thanksgiving Eve and they answered my call requeat immediately and had my furnace fixed that day. I was so grateful and will not call anybody else for any future repairs. They are awesome!
Our tech Jordan was absolutely amazing. He was professional and well spoken. He was able to diagnose our furnace very quickly and had it fixed with in 20 minutes. We are very grateful to have heat again. I would recommend them and Jordan for all your HVAC needs.
We had our furnace replaced. They had reasonable price, showed up when they said they would, did a good job.
We had a full HVAC system replacement. Jason and the guys were great. We were trying to integrate the system with a 55 year old venting system that ended up causing problems and failing inspection, but the team solved the problem with a great solution. In all the team was great to work with
Called them up and they were very prompt and personable. The estimate was reasonable and they answered all of my questions. I don’t usually leave reviews, but these guys are where it’s at. Highly recommend using them. I tried another company prior and they were not as easy to work with.
This is best I've worked with. Affordable, knowledgeable, friendly and professional! I will definitely call on them again. Thank you guys.
Minuteman was great to work with. our furnace went out in the cooler time of year, and they were able to fit us in promptly. They always showed up on time, communicated very well, super friendly staff. Would highly recommend.
Minuteman installed a new vent for an overhead heater that was a difficult situation when needed, professionally and at a reasonable cost. They have my recommendation.
These guys are quick and professional at all times. I would definitely recommend them for any of your HVAC needs.
I’ve been on the hunt for a good HVAC company that is quick on their service calls and reasonably priced - very happy with their tech Jordan who was thorough and very friendly - I will be using you again in the future for any of my HVAC needs!
Jordan was awesome. He gave our furnace an annual check up, tuned up what needed tuned and left us ready for winter. Very happy I called Minute Man… excellent service and work.
After an inspection on our home during the selling process, we needed a quick maintenance job on our furnace. They were able to fit us into their schedule to accommodate our deadline. Travis was the technician that came out and he was very friendly and professional. I appreciated that he was timely and called to let me know he was headed my way. Job was completed and I was charged a fair and reasonable price. Very pleased with Minuteman and would recommend to anyone.

Most Common Heat Pump Repair Questions
Heat pump repair is essential when your system stops heating, cooling, or operating efficiently. Ignoring the signs of failure can lead to higher energy bills, poor indoor comfort, or system breakdown. Minuteman Services provides expert heat pump repair backed by diagnostics, testing, and licensed technicians.
When a heat pump runs without producing the correct temperature, it usually points to a mechanical, electrical, or refrigerant issue. The most common cause is low refrigerant due to a leak in the system. Without the right refrigerant level, the heat pump cannot transfer heat properly during either heating or cooling cycles. Another frequent issue is a malfunctioning reversing valve that gets stuck in one mode and fails to switch directions. Minuteman Services inspects both components and tests pressure levels to identify the root cause. We also check the thermostat settings, compressor operation, and airflow to ensure the system is operating as designed. Dirty coils, clogged filters, or a faulty defrost control board can also reduce performance.
Our technician begins by evaluating the air coming from the vents and testing the system under load. We take refrigerant pressure readings and verify that the compressor and fan motors are functioning. We then check the indoor and outdoor coils for buildup or frost that could limit heat exchange. If the reversing valve is stuck or not receiving the proper signal, we test the solenoid and control board to isolate the issue. If low refrigerant is the problem, we locate the leak, repair it, and recharge the system to match the manufacturer’s specifications. We then test again to confirm the repair resolved the issue. All results are shared with the customer before we leave.
Minuteman Services restores full heat pump function with targeted repairs and complete system testing. Our technician makes sure your system heats and cools properly before completing the job. We help you avoid repeat issues and improve energy efficiency with every service call. Our repair process delivers clear answers and lasting results. When your heat pump is running but not doing its job, our team is ready to fix it fast.
A heat pump that freezes during operation may be dealing with airflow restrictions, low refrigerant, or control board failure. If the airflow is weak, the coils can get too cold and allow moisture to freeze on the surface. Clogged air filters, closed vents, or blocked outdoor units can all contribute to this issue. Low refrigerant levels reduce pressure and cooling capacity, which allows the system to drop below freezing on the coil surface. Another possible cause is a faulty defrost control board or sensor, which prevents the system from switching into defrost mode. Minuteman Services inspects all these components to pinpoint the cause and make the needed repair. We restore proper function and ensure the system cycles correctly.
Our technician begins by inspecting the outdoor unit and checking the coils for frost or ice buildup. We measure airflow at the return and verify that all supply vents are open and unblocked. If we find airflow problems, we inspect the filter, blower motor, and ductwork for restrictions. We then take refrigerant pressure readings to confirm the system is properly charged. If the defrost control is the issue, we test the sensor, relay, and timing settings to verify the sequence. After the issue is resolved, we defrost the coil and retest the unit to confirm proper operation. We also clean the coils if buildup has contributed to the problem.
Minuteman Services eliminates freezing issues by correcting the exact failure and restoring airflow and pressure levels. Frozen coils can damage the system if ignored, but we prevent long-term issues with fast repair and testing. You get a full explanation, honest pricing, and complete system function before we leave. Frozen heat pumps are fixable with expert care. Our team is trained to solve the issue quickly and correctly.
Yes, Minuteman Services offers emergency heat pump repair when your system fails during extreme heat or cold. A broken heat pump can leave your home without temperature control, which can be dangerous in severe weather. Our licensed technician responds quickly to inspect, diagnose, and repair the system on-site. We bring the tools, parts, and testing equipment needed to complete most emergency repairs during the same visit. Common emergency issues include failed compressors, electrical problems, refrigerant leaks, and faulty thermostats.

Emergency heat pump repair is handled by licensed professionals who take your safety seriously.
Heat pumps have several components that can fail over time due to wear, electrical problems, or poor maintenance. The most common part to fail is the capacitor, which controls the fan and compressor startup. If it fails, the heat pump may hum, fail to start, or short cycle. Another frequent issue is a bad contactor, which stops power from reaching the compressor or fan motor. Refrigerant leaks are also common and can result in poor performance, longer cycle times, and higher energy use. Sensors, control boards, and reversing valves may also fail and prevent the unit from switching between heating and cooling modes. Minuteman Services tests every major component during a repair visit to find what failed and why. We replace only what is necessary and verify the full system afterward.
Our technician begins by testing power at each point in the system to determine if a control or motor failure is present. We then test voltage, capacitance, and resistance to identify bad electrical parts. If refrigerant loss is suspected, we perform a pressure test and leak check to confirm the source. We test the thermostat for signal output and inspect the board for error codes or relay failures. When parts are replaced, we use new, manufacturer-approved components to restore full performance. Once the repair is complete, we test the system under heating and cooling conditions to ensure proper operation. We document all test results and review everything with the customer.
Minuteman Services repairs failed heat pump components with expert diagnostics and reliable parts. We keep your system running with tested results and complete transparency. Common failures are no problem for our trained team. We solve the issue, explain the cause, and deliver lasting results. Heat pump repair is about more than replacing parts. It is about restoring safe, efficient performance you can rely on.
Several warning signs can help you determine if your heat pump needs repair or full replacement. If the system no longer heats or cools properly, runs constantly, or makes loud noises, it likely needs repair. However, if you are calling for service frequently or your energy bills keep rising, a replacement may be the better option. Heat pumps that are more than 10 to 15 years old tend to lose efficiency and break down more often. Minuteman Services evaluates your system and compares repair costs with long-term performance potential. We inspect all components, check refrigerant levels, and test system output under load. Based on our findings, we help you decide what makes the most sense.
Our technician performs a full diagnostic to understand the condition of your current heat pump. We test major components such as the compressor, fan motors, reversing valve, and control board. We also evaluate coil condition, pressure levels, and system response time. If repairs can restore safe, efficient function, we provide a clear quote and explain the benefits. If the system is too far gone, we explain replacement options with cost estimates and efficiency comparisons. We never recommend replacement unless repairs will no longer deliver safe or reliable operation. All results are documented so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
Minuteman Services helps you determine the best path forward with expert diagnostics and honest recommendations. Whether you choose to repair or replace, you get full transparency and clear answers. We want your system to work efficiently, cost-effectively, and reliably for years to come. Our team is focused on value and long-term performance, not quick fixes. When you are unsure what to do, let us inspect and explain every option in plain terms. You stay in control, and we provide the information you need. Trust our team to guide you toward the right solution.
Short cycling is when a heat pump turns on and off more frequently than normal during a heating or cooling cycle. This is a common issue that can result from several different causes. A clogged air filter, thermostat miscalibration, or incorrect refrigerant levels can all cause short cycling. Electrical problems, such as a failing capacitor or control board, can also trigger rapid cycling. If left unchecked, short cycling places strain on the compressor and fan motor, which can lead to early failure. Minuteman Services inspects the system thoroughly to find out why your heat pump is short cycling and correct the issue before further damage occurs. We check for both airflow restrictions and electrical malfunctions.
Our technician starts by testing the thermostat and confirming that it is calibrated and properly placed. We then check airflow across the indoor coil to ensure it is not being restricted by dirty filters, duct blockages, or frozen coils. Next, we inspect refrigerant levels to confirm the system is charged to specification. Electrical tests are performed to measure voltage, capacitor performance, and control board function. We also evaluate how long the system runs under load before cycling off and identify patterns that suggest an underlying control issue. After the problem is corrected, we retest the system to verify stable operation. We document everything and explain how to avoid the issue in the future.
Minuteman Services solves short cycling problems with expert diagnostics and step-by-step testing. We restore normal cycle timing, protect your equipment, and reduce wear on key components. You get better performance and lower energy use once the system is cycling properly again. Short cycling is more than a nuisance—it is a warning sign. Let our team find the cause and fix it before it leads to bigger issues. We focus on permanent repairs that keep your system running safely and efficiently. Your comfort depends on a heat pump that runs the right way.
Yes, repairing a heat pump can lower your energy bill by restoring the system’s efficiency. When a heat pump is not operating correctly, it often runs longer, cycles more frequently, or works harder to reach the set temperature. This increases energy consumption and adds stress to critical parts like the compressor and blower motor. Issues such as low refrigerant, dirty coils, electrical faults, and control board errors can all cause higher energy use. Minuteman Services identifies and repairs these problems to bring your system back to its designed performance level. Once repaired, your heat pump will cycle correctly, deliver stable temperatures, and use less electricity. That leads to lower monthly bills and longer system life.
Our technician begins by performing a full system diagnostic and measuring how your heat pump is performing under normal load. We compare system data to manufacturer specifications to identify inefficiencies. We check refrigerant levels, test airflow, and inspect for electrical problems that could impact energy use. Once we identify what is causing the system to work harder, we repair or replace the failing components. After the repair, we retest system performance and show you the difference. You receive a written summary of the repair and tips for maintaining energy efficiency moving forward. These steps help reduce utility costs while improving comfort.
Minuteman Services helps customers save money through precise heat pump repairs that eliminate wasted energy. When your system is repaired correctly, it uses less power and delivers better results. Small problems can have a big impact on your energy bill. Our team focuses on repairs that make your system efficient again. We take the time to fix the problem and verify that your heat pump runs the way it should. Better performance means lower costs, fewer breakdowns, and a more comfortable home. Trust us to help improve your system and your savings.
Regular maintenance helps prevent heat pump repairs by catching problems early and keeping all parts of the system clean and functional. Basic steps like changing air filters every one to three months and keeping outdoor units free of debris go a long way. Seasonal tune-ups are also critical for checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, tightening electrical connections, and testing controls. Minuteman Services offers professional heat pump maintenance that includes a complete inspection and performance test. We recommend two service visits each year, one before summer and one before winter. This ensures your heat pump is ready for peak demand and helps avoid emergency breakdowns. A well-maintained system runs longer, uses less energy, and needs fewer repairs over time.
