Jordan and the office was great to work. Jordan was very knowledgeable in his work.
Very conscientious, friendly and appeared knowledgeable. Appreciated the helpful communications with Travis!
Minuteman services were awesome to work with, Fair and Honest. Upfront about charges and quick response. Jordan was professional and knowledgeable. Thank you!!! Will definitely be using them for our home needs here on out.
Matt came to change the lights timer and when he finished he took the time to clean up really good after all the insulation fell from the ceiling
Minute Man was quick to come out, gave a free estimate and fixed our fire place without any hassles. From start to finish was a great experience. Will call again!
Jordan at Minuteman Services was fantastic! He came out quickly to fix my mom’s furnace and had it running again in no time. He took the time to explain everything clearly so we knew exactly what was going on and what to expect. Super professional, friendly, and efficient — couldn’t ask for better service. Highly recommend!
We had issues with one of the lights in our office building. I googled places to repair them, and was impressed with the reviews this company had. They were scheduled to come give us a quote on a Wednesday and to our surprise the light was fixed before they were scheduled to come take a look. The repair was done quickly and I was impressed with everyone in the company. So happy with the repair that was Made!
My furnace is getting old and had some issues this year. Minuteman has done maintenance for me since we bought our home. Contacted Jarrod and he sent Jordan out to check things out. They said they could fix it if they needed to, and would recommend to repair it over a replacement, but my preference was just fix it once and for all and get a new one. They gave me a quote including about $6,000 in optional upgrades. After speaking to them, they helped me decide that only a small upgrade of $800 was the best choice for me and my family and my home. I am willing to pay top dollar for the best system available, but they said that a lower price system was actually better for me in my situation. These guys are honest to a fault and absolutely the best at what they do.
I want to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to Minuteman Services LLC - While my mother was getting her yearly checkup/service on her furnace, she mentioned an issue she was having with her main power connection to her house to the service tech Jordan. Jordan immediately recognized the danger as last winter's ice had completely disconnected ground and also left the main power dangling by a thread. Minuteman Services LLC not only recognized the issue, but got it taken care of both quickly (and correctly) making my Mom's house safe again - and at an ABSOLUTELLY unbeatable price. The honesty, empathy and compassion shown by this company is one that is SECOND to NONE!! I want to personally thank them for the superior job well done!! I highly recommend Minuteman Services LLC for all your HVAC and Electrical service needs!! Thank you again!!
Great to work with and great on follow-up! I had limited time when I did the one-liner above and am now coming back to add more detail. Minuteman did a full HVAC replacement at our home. They did not suggest the full replacement, but I requested it due to the age of our system and the upgrades I wanted. The new system has more functionality with better efficiency and includes a humidifier and an electronic filter. The installers were very professional and respectful in our home. And Travis oversaw the entire process from start to finish including a follow-up software upgrade on our new thermostat. We could not be happier with our new system.
Excellent service!!! Jordan did an amazing job troubleshooting and repairing my furnace. He was timely, professional, and courteous. All of my questions were answered and he took the time to listen to and address all concerns. Very pleased.
Fast response, EXCELLENT service and very affordable pricing 100% recommend!
Jordan came and got our furnace up and running in no time! Professional and knowledgeable. We just started using these guys at the property management company I work for too. Definitely recommend!
Such an awesome team! The promise of great service is easy to get- actually achieving great service - hard to come by these days. FOUND IT! We will be toasty warm this winter THANKS MINUTE MAN TEAM!
Amazing customer service, great to work with! No hidden fees! And very very helpful! Thank you for installing my range hood and gas line!! 🥰🥰🥰
Excellent experience with Minuteman! So happy with my new system. Ultimate professionals. Don’t hesitate!
Very prompt service, extremely knowledgeable staff and courteous interaction.
The employees showed up earlier than scheduled and got right to work. Everything is working wonderfully and they explained everything so I wasn't lost on using new equipment. Definitely would use again. Top recommendations for them. Thanks to all
These guys are great! They respond quickly and are professional. Travis and Jordan were very friendly and informative helping us fix both a blocked drain for the hvac and a gas leak. I would definitely recommend them!
The full experience was exceptional from the beginning starting with them coming out to do an inspection on the furnace for us. They were honest with me letting me know that I could get a little more life out of it but that honesty sold me which led us to an install today. I could not be happier and say enough of how wonderful Minute Man Service is to deal with. Thanks to everyone who was involved!
Had furnace serviced, plus Jordan repaired a gas stove in our basement, one that probably hadn't been running for some time. That took a lot of work, as it had a few problems, thus the reason it hadn't been used in quite a while. Jordan kept us informed as to his schedule and what was needed to get everything up and running. Thanks Jordan!
The men showed up on time and were very courteous. Went straight to work and had the problem fixed in 20 minutes. I was very happy with their work.
Jordan was super friendly and efficient! He did great work and explained everything. Would definitely recommend! We are so thankful for Minute Man services to have found a replacement coil for the AC so we didn’t have to buy a whole new unit yet. Trevor came out quickly after we called asking for a second opinion. He was able to find the leak and helped map out the options we had. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable. I never felt pressure with choosing what option we were given to fix the unit. I was also impress with Jasmine in the office.
Jordan, Matt and Trevor, were great. They were courteous and very professional. They completed needed ducting repair and installed a safety switch. We highly recommend MinuteMan for any HVAC service.
Big shout out to Minuteman Service for installing my new HVAC / heat pump. They were very professional, on time, answered all my questions, and best of all did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend them for any of your heating and cooling needs.
Matt and Matt#2 Aaron and Trevor all did awesome job. They are some real "cool" guys
Minute Man Service installed some mini air conditioning and heating units for us in our addition. They were friendly and professional and performed the work quickly. They also made sure they protected our new carpet from getting dirty which I really appreciate. I would totally recommend them!
Very professional and amazing clean installation, Great job guys, I highly recommend Minueman services to all
Jordan was fabulous! Explained what was going on, fixed the problem with a smile and was just very helpful. Strongly recommend Minuteman Services and I hope your lucky to get Jordan (though I'm sure all the workers are equally as great). Today, Matt and Trevor came out and put in a new filter system for me and they were fabulous! Very nice guys and great work done!
Jordan was super easy to deal with! Listened well to my concerns and was super helpful! Great customer service and quick service as well!
These guys are awesome!! I was having an issue after hours on a Friday evening, and couldn't get anyone out til Monday, but we talked on the phone, and I was able to fix my problem with some " coaching" over the phone. I kept my appointment for Monday, and I was more than pleased with their tech!! He is awesome, and now I am on a bi-annual service plan!! thank you Minuteman
Great experience from start to finish, from initial phone call scheduled for Tuesday, received call back with opening end of day Friday. Travis was great, very familiar with our unit, diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. I highly recommend them!
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!
Jordan was professional. He was able to get to our AC unit quickly and get it back up and running and we will definitely be using him in the future with our HVAC maintenance and repair needs.
I was able to get a solid hvac system for a great price. They also worked hard and got me scheduled quickly. Jordan made sure everything was perfect on the installation.
Absolutely amazing service. Travis did a great job in fixing our water heater. Went above and beyond. Great communication
If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Jordan was awesome and had the problem diagnosed and fixed ASAP. we will call them every time for HVAC questions and repairs. Vince Wray
Jordan did an amazing job. I got my gas line in record time, in my opinion, with very little sheet rock disturbance. He cleaned up as appropriate. I now have a fully functioning gas cooktop thanks to Jordan. 👍 Side note, Travis fixed a minor thermostat wiring issue, my bad, during consultation for the gas line, free of charge. Win win for me.
Such great customer support and service! Travis did an excellent job with the yearly maintenance of my heater. He found an issue the home inspector missed when I purchased this place and gave me several options on moving forward. Will continue to use this company for yearly maintenance and the new install of heat and air.
Dual fuel heat pump installation done on time. I recommend this company for their professional work.
MinuteMan is always my go to for HVAC and Electrical work. We got a new AC unit and also moved it from beside our back porch to the side of the house. We got 4 bids to do this work. Only MinuteMan was honest about doing this work. We only have a one stage HVAC system. The other quotes ranged from $14,000 to $16,000. They were insistent that I needed two stage or variable stage units. MinuteMan noted that since our system was a single stage system, unless we were also going to replace our entire HVAC system, those other AC units would just run single stage anyways and thus be a complete waste of money. They also were much more knowledgeable about the code and requirements for running the new systems and avoided having to cut into walls and do very expensive work. I validated everything that they said and it was all legit. The AC system that we got was HALF the price of those other systems. The installation was professional and the crew was amazing. The bidding and communication was also amazing. We also had an in-wall dog door that I needed to install and their electrician installed it for us for a very minimal fee and did an amazing job! This wasn't part of the bid or work, they just did it while they were here and helped me out a TON! You really can't go wrong with MinuteMan. EDIT: Thank you to Jordan, Trevor, Matt, Shane, and Jace!
1st time commercial business customer. Called in after my business AC unit went down. Immediately had Jarod pick up the phone, scheduled me in immediately. Its Friday and had me scheduled Monday morning. Great on diagnostic service rate charge. I had called multiple highly rated HVAC companies previously, no one picked up or responded to my service call request, and lost opportunity to help. Give the little guys a chance, and they come through. Minuteman picked up and won my business, and quickly got me on the schedule. Minuteman will be my call moving forward for any needs. Thank you Jarod, and Tyson my service tech coming out quickly Monday to fix me up.
Travis did a great job fixing our leak with our HVAC. He was helpful in in telling me what he did to fix the issue, step by step.
If needed I would call them again without hesitation. Quick, professional and thorough. They fixed my issues and my house is cool again!! Thank you!
They were quick and professional. Pricing was very reasonable and work was done very well.
Excellent service, replied to texts on a weekend night with advice and a few things to try before coming out and fixing the issue!
Very Professional. Excellent service from beginning to end. Definitely the guys to see for HVAC and Electrical. Very satisfied with our Mini Split Heat pump A/C system.
Shoutout to Minuteman Services today for the quick response for my electrical problem. Ted arrived within an hour of me calling and completed the job of repairing an outlet that was giving shocks when touched. …. not good!! Also replaced another switch that was bad and checked another for me!! Great attention to detail and the repair cost was very reasonable! Thank you Ted and Minuteman Services. I will certainly be using them again in the future!!!
These guys are awesome top notch installation very professional I will never use anyone else
Great job on the installation. Electricial guys and the Hvac. Looks great too.
Thanks Shayne for your fast, friendly service. Shayne identified my electrical problem, discussed options and fix the issue in record time! I appreciate your help!
Jordan, Trevor and Jarrod were really helpful installing my mini split
I recently had a heat pump system installed by Jordan and Dylan with Minuteman, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. They took the time to explain all of my options, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and provided a clear and fair estimate. The installation process itself was quick, clean, and affordable. The technicians arrived on time, worked diligently, and treated my home with respect. Now that the heat pump is up and running, I’m already noticing a difference in comfort and energy efficiency. It’s quiet, effective, and exactly what I needed. I would absolutely recommend Minuteman to anyone looking to have a heatpump installed.
Travis and his electrician were prompt, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. They found the problem in my home air conditioner, had the replacement part in their truck and after servicing and total system check I have a functioning system again. The price for parts & labor was less than I expected. I only wish I was able to give them a higher rating than 5. JOB WELL DONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, the Taylor Family.
Travis called before he went and was able to repair unit right there and was very knowledgeable & friendly
I can’t say enough about the way you guys came out really quick and did a great job! Five stars for sure! Thank you! I will be passing along to everyone I know!
Travis from Minute Man took care of our air conditioning problems today. We appreciated his patience in explaining different options and helping us find a good resolution. We will continue to call on them for any of our HVAC needs. I would highly recommend Minute Man and Travis to anybody with HVAC concerns.
These guys were awesome . We had another company come out and work on AC twice with no permanent repair. Minuteman was out to check out our system and had located the issue within an hour. They were fair and honest to deal with. We won’t call anyone else in the future .
Travis was fantastic. He fixed our problem quickly and was very fair with his price. We will most definitely call Minute Man again for help when we need it!
These guys are amazing to work with and helped get me setup with a fantastic AC system after I completely failed to DIY the installation myself. They replaced all my faulty equipment and worked very quickly to get us up and running. I cannot recommend these guys enough!!
Great company from the first call to the completion of installation of new fujitsu split level heating and air unit. Jordan & Dillon were absolutely the best! It's so nice to find honest & knowledgeable people!
We have used Minuteman several times now and every time they have been wonderful to work with both for big major things and for regular maintenance
Always have great service with Minuteman. They are thorough and do a great job. Excellent communication and install. Highly recommend for HVAC, mini splits and chimney service.
Ted did an awesome job taking care of my family by installing a new water heater electric power breaker in order for my family to have hot water. Very professional, fast response and clean work! I highly recommend Minuteman Services LLC. for all your HVAC and electrical needs.
Have dealt with Minuteman several times over the course of a few years. They did three new installs on cabins in Island Park. One of the units had issues through no fault of theirs. However they made several trips up to fix it and finally just installed a new unit at no cost to me. Jared always takes my calls and answers my questions. Great young business with a bright future.
I needed to have my AC system cleaned and serviced 2 years after the Minutemen guys installed it. They also installed a new furnace at that time. They were able to come out quickly and were very friendly and efficient. I was surprised that they came out about 2 days after I called them rather than the week or more I usually have to wait for most service companies. I was impressed with these guys when they installed my system as well as for this service call. I highly recommend them to anyone for furnace and AC installation or service and repair.
Excellent service. I have used them multiple times for electrical and heating needs, and have been able to have someone at our house within a few days, if not same day. Will use again.
They did good work at a very competitive price. Travis‘s communication was great throughout the whole process
These guys go work to solve problems, not just get jobs done. They were great and super transparent about pricing and all the work they were doing. Highly recomend! The owner came himself when we had some hiccups and made sure we were taken care of.
Prompt and professional service. Travis was great at explaining the product and timely on bid and scheduling. Jordan and Dylan were awesome at installation. Highly recommend.
I really appreciate your guy coming here to take care of my furnace. He was kind, helpful, and took care of the problem in a short amount of time. I would recommend your services to any. Thank you so much!
We had to replace an outdated heating system. Jordan, Travis and Dillion were awesome. Great customer service. They also helped us get a rebate through our power company. Highly recommended.
Competent. Priced fairly. Professional. Can't say enough good about these guys.

Most Common EV Charger Installation Questions
EV charger installation is essential for safe and fast electric vehicle charging at home. It helps reduce charging time, improves convenience, and ensures your system runs efficiently. Minuteman Services provides professional installation with safety, code compliance, and long-term reliability in mind.
Installing an EV charger involves high voltage, dedicated circuits, and local electrical code compliance. This type of work must be handled by a licensed electrician to ensure safety and correct performance. Minuteman Services installs EV chargers the right way using certified electricians who understand load calculations, breaker sizing, and safe wire routing. A do-it-yourself installation can lead to electrical fires, panel overload, or permanent equipment damage. EV chargers pull more power than most appliances, so the wiring must be able to handle continuous amperage without overheating. We also handle any necessary permits and follow all Idaho electrical regulations. With a licensed installation, your system is safer, and your warranty stays valid.
Our electrician starts with a load check to see if your current panel can support a Level 2 charger. If it can, we run a new line and install a breaker dedicated to your charger. If not, we recommend a panel upgrade and complete the work with full documentation. We also help you choose a charger that matches your vehicle and power needs. Every step is completed to code, tested, and verified before the project is considered done. You receive a safe setup that protects your vehicle and your home. You also gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing every part of the system was installed by a licensed professional.
Minuteman Services installs EV chargers every week for homeowners making the switch to electric vehicles. We know what to look for, how to avoid problems, and how to deliver long-term results. A proper installation helps your EV charger last longer and charge more efficiently. Let us handle the work so you can enjoy easy, dependable home charging with no complications. Do not risk your safety or damage your vehicle with a do-it-yourself project. Choose professional installation and get the job done right the first time.
A Level 1 EV charger plugs into a standard household outlet and charges very slowly. Most Level 1 chargers provide about 4 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging. This may work for short daily drives but is not practical for most drivers. A Level 2 charger uses a 240 volt circuit and provides about 25 to 30 miles of range per hour of charging. Minuteman Services installs Level 2 chargers because they offer faster charging times and better performance for everyday use. A Level 2 charger is essential for overnight charging, busy schedules, and long commutes. It also puts less strain on your battery by charging more efficiently.
Level 2 chargers must be hardwired or connected through a dedicated 240 volt outlet. Our electricians confirm your panel has the correct capacity before starting installation. If needed, we perform electrical upgrades to make sure the charger operates safely. Most electric vehicles are built to accept Level 2 charging because of its convenience and reliability. Some Level 2 chargers also include Wi Fi access, charge scheduling, and usage tracking. These features help you control when charging starts and ends to take advantage of off-peak rates. Our team helps you choose a unit with the right amperage and features for your needs.
Minuteman Services installs Level 2 EV chargers to help homeowners stay ready for daily driving. A faster charger means you never have to wait long or visit public stations. Your car charges while you sleep and is ready when you need it. We handle the entire process from inspection to final testing. We also make sure your system is safe and compliant with Idaho electrical codes. When you choose a Level 2 charger, you get faster charging, lower wait times, and better control over energy use. Trust our electricians to deliver a clean and correct installation every time.
Yes, Minuteman Services offers emergency electrical service when your EV charger stops working or causes electrical problems. If your charger will not turn on, trips a breaker, or causes overheating at the panel, our licensed electricians respond quickly to inspect and repair the issue. Driving an electric vehicle requires reliable charging, and downtime can cause serious inconvenience. We troubleshoot all parts of the system including breakers, wiring, and the charger unit itself. If replacement is needed, we provide options and perform safe installation on the spot when possible. Emergency calls are handled with the same care and precision as scheduled installations. You get fast response, clear answers, and reliable repair from local electricians you can trust.
Our technician begins by testing voltage, amperage draw, and system connectivity. We look for signs of wiring failure, loose connections, or charger malfunction. If your panel is overloaded or improperly configured, we can correct the setup or recommend necessary upgrades. In many cases, we can restore power the same day and confirm that your system is safe to use. If your charger has failed completely, we offer quick replacement with a compatible model. Every emergency call includes safety testing, system reset, and follow-up advice to avoid future problems. We make sure your system is back up and running fast.
Minuteman Services is your trusted partner for emergency EV charger repair. We arrive with the right tools and knowledge to solve the issue quickly. You do not have to wait days or risk damaging your system with temporary fixes. Call us for fast, safe, and professional service. We are committed to helping you stay charged and ready without delays. Our electricians know how to handle every brand and configuration. When your charger fails, we are ready to help.
Upgrading your electrical panel may be required before installing a Level 2 EV charger. These chargers draw more power than many existing panels are designed to handle. Minuteman Services performs full panel upgrades to support higher electrical demand and ensure safe EV charger operation. During an upgrade, our electricians remove the old panel, install a new unit with higher amperage, and configure circuits for better load management. We install a dedicated breaker for the EV charger and test the panel for correct voltage and safety. An upgraded panel also supports future electrical additions like HVAC units, appliances, or power tools. Our work is done to Idaho code and includes all permits and inspections.
Many older homes have 100 amp panels that are already close to full capacity. Installing an EV charger could overload the system and lead to breaker tripping or overheating. We start by performing a load calculation to determine if a panel upgrade is needed. If it is, we explain your options and complete the upgrade without disrupting your home for long. New panels are built with improved safety features and give you more space for future circuits. Once installed, we connect the EV charger and perform final system testing. Your charger gets clean power and your home stays protected.
Minuteman Services makes panel upgrades simple and efficient. We manage the entire project from inspection to final inspection approval. You do not need to coordinate multiple contractors or guess about requirements. Our electricians handle everything and explain each step in plain language. When your home needs more power for a charger, we get the job done right. You gain peace of mind knowing your system is safe, modern, and built to last. Let us upgrade your panel and support your EV charger the right way.
A Level 2 EV charger typically uses between 16 and 50 amps of power, depending on the model and settings. Most residential units operate on a 240 volt circuit and deliver up to 12 kilowatts of charging power. The actual amperage depends on your vehicle’s onboard charger and the capabilities of the charging station. Minuteman Services checks your panel capacity and selects a charger that matches your system. We confirm that your electrical setup can support continuous amperage without overloading the circuit. We also install a dedicated breaker to prevent shared loads that could cause tripping or overheating. This ensures the charger operates safely and efficiently.
Electric vehicle manufacturers often recommend a charger that supplies 32 or 40 amps to balance performance and longevity. Faster chargers may offer up to 50 amps, but that requires a higher capacity panel and thicker wiring. Minuteman Services explains the pros and cons of each option during your consultation. We also consider your driving habits and how quickly you need to charge. Not every vehicle can accept high-speed charging, so matching the charger to your EV is important. Once installed, we test the circuit under load and verify that the charger operates without power drops. Every installation is customized for the best results.
We help Idaho Falls homeowners understand power requirements and charger limitations. This prevents surprises and protects your system from electrical issues. Our team handles the technical details and delivers a clean, compliant installation. You get full-speed charging without strain on your electrical panel. Proper setup also helps avoid future repair costs. Minuteman Services gives you the facts, handles the work, and delivers safe performance every time. Trust us to match the right power level to your charger and your home.
The time it takes to fully charge an electric vehicle at home depends on your battery size, the current state of charge, and the power rating of your charger. Most Level 2 chargers installed by Minuteman Services deliver 25 to 30 miles of range per hour. That means a full charge from empty can take anywhere from 6 to 10 hours for most EVs. Many drivers plug in overnight and wake up with a full battery every morning. Charging is much slower with a standard 120 volt outlet, which adds only about 4 to 5 miles of range per hour. That setup is often not practical for daily drivers. Level 2 charging is the standard for home use and works with nearly all electric vehicle models.
Minuteman Services helps homeowners choose a charger based on their driving needs. If you drive long distances each day, a higher amperage unit can charge your battery faster. If your EV stays parked overnight, a standard 32 amp Level 2 charger may be more than enough. We explain charge times for your specific vehicle and install the right system for your lifestyle. Charging speed also depends on your car’s onboard charging capacity. Some vehicles cannot accept high-speed charging even if the charger supports it. We match your system components to avoid wasting money on unused capacity.
Our installations are designed for maximum convenience and performance. You no longer need to visit public chargers or worry about low battery warnings. With the right home setup, your EV charges while you sleep. Our electricians test charger output, confirm communication with your vehicle, and walk you through estimated charge times. You get honest answers and expert service from start to finish. Minuteman Services builds each system around your schedule, usage, and equipment. We make home EV charging simple and dependable.
Some EV owners ask if they can use an existing 240 volt outlet from a dryer or range to power their charger. While this may be possible in certain cases, it is not always safe or code compliant. Dryer and range outlets are typically wired for specific amperages and may not be rated for continuous EV charging loads. They also may not be located where you want your charger to be installed. Minuteman Services strongly recommends installing a dedicated circuit for your EV charger. This ensures the charger has its own breaker, wiring, and load protection for safe long-term use. A shared outlet can overheat, trip the breaker, or cause electrical damage to your vehicle.
EV chargers must be installed according to manufacturer specifications and local code. This includes proper wire size, breaker rating, and ground fault protection. Our electricians inspect your current wiring and panel before recommending any solution. If an existing outlet is acceptable, we test voltage and confirm that the circuit can safely handle continuous charging. Most of the time, a new line is needed for safety and long-term reliability. We install the charger where it is most convenient for parking and usage. That often means placing it in a garage or on an exterior wall near your driveway.
Minuteman Services prioritizes safe, compliant installations that protect your home and vehicle. While temporary setups may work in some situations, they are not built for permanent EV charging. We explain the differences and show you why a dedicated circuit is the best option. Our team makes the process easy with expert installation and clear communication. You get a professional system that works safely and avoids common electrical risks. Trust us to deliver the right setup from the start. You will get better performance and peace of mind.
