Quick and friendly service! Travis and his team were great to work with and made the process so easy. Highly recommend!
Thank you Jared for checking our HVAC to make sure it’s ready for summer! We appreciate you being on time, installing a new air filter and keeping our machines in top top shape. Another big thank you for catching the rubbed off wire that another company forgot to litigate. Will use Minuteman for all of our needs moving forward.
After my AC stopped blowing cold air and my furnace started leaking water, I was initially quoted approximately $2,000 for a repair on a part I was told had failed. Something didn’t feel right, so I decided to get a second opinion—and I’m glad I did. Jordan from Minuteman Services took the time to thoroughly inspect both the furnace and the AC unit and quickly identified the real issue. Instead of recommending an expensive replacement, he fixed the actual problem with expertise and care. The total cost came in under $500, and everything has been working perfectly since. Jordan’s expertise, honesty, and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone needing HVAC service. Thank you Jordan!
They was out several months ago when our furnace kept overheating and again today when it decided not to work and have been able to fix it for us each time.
Very professional and dependable service! Drace M. did a great job- Trustworthy and very polite tech! 👍🏼
Jordan is the best! Minuteman quoted an unbeatable price, came next day and right on time. Professional, communicative and knows their stuff. Couldn’t be happier, will be sure to use them in the future thanks Jordan!
Jordan was the best! He stuck with a difficult job until he figured out the problem and got it fixed. He kept me informed every step of the way, showed up when he said he would and charged me a fair price. I will definitely use Minuteman again.
Minuteman Services handled a panel upgrade at my place in Idaho Falls that had been flagged during a home inspection I did before refinancing. The technician was knowledgeable, pulled the permit without me having to ask, and the inspector signed off on everything without a single correction. For something I had been putting off for over a year it ended up being a one day job that went completely smoothly from start to finish. Definitely 110% satisfied with this company.
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!
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.
They have completed multiple tasks for me and have always gone above and beyond.
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.

Most Common Garage Heater Questions
Garage heater installation helps protect tools, vehicles, and equipment from cold damage. It also makes your space more usable during winter months. Minuteman Services installs garage heaters to improve comfort, safety, and long-term performance.
The best type of garage heater depends on the size of your garage, available utilities, insulation, and how often you plan to use the space. Gas heaters are ideal for large garages or detached structures that need strong, fast heat. They require a gas line and proper ventilation to operate safely. Electric heaters work well in smaller or insulated garages and are often easier to install. These models are quiet, clean, and ideal for attached garages or spaces with limited ventilation. Minuteman Services installs both types and helps you compare fuel type, installation cost, and long-term efficiency. Our technician will assess your garage and recommend the right model based on your needs.
We calculate the required BTU output based on your garage’s square footage, ceiling height, and insulation level. Oversized units can waste energy while undersized ones struggle to keep up. We also consider heater style, including wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, and portable units. Our goal is to find a unit that fits your daily use, budget, and layout without sacrificing performance. We explain all options clearly and only recommend models that meet building code and safety standards. Each heater is installed securely and tested for even heat distribution and safe startup. We make sure the model you choose delivers reliable, consistent heating.
Minuteman Services helps you choose and install the best garage heater for long-term comfort and performance. We explain all options, handle the full installation, and test every component for safety and efficiency. You get expert service and lasting results from start to finish.
Preparing your garage for a heater installation starts with clearing the area where the unit will be mounted. The space should be free of storage racks, vehicles, or other objects that block airflow or limit access. If you’re installing a ceiling-mounted unit, make sure the ceiling is structurally sound and free of water damage or exposed insulation. For gas units, confirm that your garage has access to a gas line or can be routed safely by our technician. For electric heaters, check that your electrical panel has enough capacity to support a dedicated circuit. Minuteman Services handles all electrical and gas connections, but these steps help speed up the process. We provide detailed preparation instructions before the installation date.
Our technician inspects your garage during the site visit to confirm the best location for the heater. We consider where you work most, how the air will flow, and where controls should be mounted for easy access. We also look for potential obstacles like water lines, ductwork, or ceiling obstructions. If any changes are needed, we explain them before starting the job. Once approved, we complete all mounting, wiring, venting, and control setup to meet safety standards. We test the system fully and walk you through basic operation and maintenance. We leave the garage clean and ready for immediate use.
Minuteman Services makes preparation simple with clear communication and expert planning. We handle the hard parts and guide you through any prep steps needed before the job starts. You get a smooth installation process and a garage heater that works the right way from day one.
Yes, Minuteman Services provides emergency garage heater installation and repair when fast heat is needed to protect your garage space.

With proper installation and regular maintenance, a garage heater can last between 10 and 20 years. Electric units often last longer due to fewer moving parts and lower maintenance needs. Gas heaters require more frequent inspection, especially around the burner, venting, and gas valve systems. Minuteman Services helps extend the life of your garage heater by offering seasonal tune-ups and system checks. We clean internal components, test safety controls, and verify that the unit reaches and maintains the correct temperature. We also inspect electrical connections or gas lines for corrosion, wear, or buildup. Preventive maintenance improves performance, reduces energy use, and helps avoid emergency repairs.
During maintenance, our technician also checks the thermostat and airflow pattern to make sure the heater distributes heat evenly. We inspect mounting brackets, electrical breakers, and any ducting to confirm nothing has shifted or come loose over time. We also test shutdown and startup cycles for reliability and energy efficiency. If any parts show signs of wear, we explain the problem and offer repair options before they lead to full system failure. Regular care lowers long-term costs and keeps your space comfortable through winter. Skipping maintenance shortens heater life and increases repair risks. We make it easy to stay on schedule with service plans that include automatic reminders.
Minuteman Services helps homeowners get the most out of their garage heaters. We provide professional care that extends the lifespan of your system and keeps it running safely year after year. With our team, you get long-term performance, reliable heat, and expert service every step of the way.
Yes, garage heater installation is safe for attached garages when done correctly by a licensed professional. Safety depends on choosing the right heater type and ensuring proper clearance, wiring, and ventilation. Gas heaters must be installed with sealed combustion chambers or direct venting to avoid any risk of carbon monoxide entering the home. Electric heaters are often recommended for attached garages because they require no fuel lines and produce no combustion gases. Minuteman Services installs both gas and electric garage heaters while following all local building and safety codes. We assess your garage layout, fuel access, and home structure before recommending a safe solution. All connections are tested before we leave to ensure safe, efficient heating.
Our technicians follow strict safety protocols, especially in spaces that share walls or access points with the home. For gas heaters, we install venting systems that direct exhaust safely outside and use combustion air from the exterior. This setup reduces indoor air pressure issues and keeps your living space protected. We also inspect existing ventilation and make adjustments if needed to meet current safety standards. For electric heaters, we install dedicated circuits to prevent overloads or electrical hazards. We test the system, confirm airflow, and ensure the heater can operate safely without posing risks to walls or insulation. We also recommend installing a carbon monoxide detector in or near the garage when using a gas unit.
Minuteman Services installs garage heaters in attached garages with safety and performance as top priorities. We evaluate every detail of the space and deliver a heating solution that is code-compliant and worry-free. You can rely on our team for expert work and full transparency throughout the process.
Yes, most garage heaters can be controlled with a thermostat for better comfort and energy savings. Thermostats allow you to maintain a consistent temperature in your garage without constantly adjusting settings manually. Many units come with built-in thermostats, while others can be connected to wall-mounted or programmable controls. Minuteman Services installs garage heaters with thermostat options tailored to your usage and space layout. We install simple dial thermostats, digital programmable units, or smart thermostats depending on the system and your preferences. A thermostat makes your heater more efficient and extends its lifespan by avoiding constant cycling. It also gives you better control over how and when your garage is heated.
Our technician will explain the available thermostat options during your installation. For electric heaters, a wired wall thermostat can be installed to replace onboard controls or act as a remote temperature sensor. For gas units, thermostats are usually installed at a comfortable eye level and connected to the control board for easy adjustments. Some models offer Wi-Fi access, allowing you to manage the garage temperature from your phone or tablet. We test all controls after installation to ensure accurate temperature readings and smooth operation. We also show you how to adjust temperature settings and set schedules if your model allows it. Thermostat placement is planned to avoid drafts, heat sources, and poor readings.
Minuteman Services provides complete thermostat setup during every garage heater installation. We ensure the control system matches your heater and gives you full control of your space. You get better performance, easier operation, and more efficient heating with every use.
Yes, a properly installed and maintained garage heater can run all day during the winter, as long as it is operating within its rated capacity and safety limits. Continuous use is common for people who use their garages as workspaces, gyms, or vehicle storage. However, the key to safe all-day use is choosing the right heater, installing it correctly, and ensuring proper ventilation if it is a gas model. Minuteman Services installs garage heaters designed for daily use in winter conditions. We size the unit correctly based on square footage and insulation levels to ensure it can run efficiently without overheating or short cycling. Electric models are best for constant heat in smaller garages, while gas models perform better in larger or poorly insulated spaces. Both types must be monitored for airflow and general condition throughout the season.
Our technician explains proper usage during installation, including how long to run the system and what signs to watch for. We install thermostats or timers to help regulate use and prevent unnecessary energy waste. We also recommend checking filters, vents, and clearance space regularly to keep airflow strong and steady. For gas units, we confirm that combustion air is available and that exhaust gases are venting safely at all times. We also encourage adding carbon monoxide detectors in spaces where gas heat is used continuously. Routine maintenance, especially before and after heavy use, helps keep the system running safely and reliably. Running your heater all day is safe if the system is properly maintained and installed to code.
Minuteman Services installs garage heaters that are built for full-time winter use. We provide all the support, instructions, and maintenance tips you need to run your heater safely every day. When you use your garage often, we deliver heating that works the way you need it.
The size of your garage heater depends on the square footage of the space, ceiling height, insulation level, and how often the area is used. Heaters are typically rated in BTUs for gas models or watts for electric models. A one-car garage usually needs around 9,000 to 12,000 BTUs, while a two-car garage may need 20,000 to 30,000 BTUs. Poor insulation, cold climates, or detached garages require more heating power to reach and maintain a comfortable temperature. Minuteman Services calculates the correct heater size by evaluating your garage’s layout, construction, and use. We do not rely on guesswork or one-size-fits-all solutions. Our goal is to match your garage to a heater that performs well without wasting energy.
We assess the dimensions of your space and look for air leaks, gaps, or uninsulated walls that may affect heat retention. We also ask how you use your garage to determine how often it will be heated and to what temperature. A garage used for daily work may need stronger output than a space used occasionally for storage. Once we identify your needs, we recommend several models that meet the required heating load. Each option is explained clearly so you can compare features, performance, and cost. We also ensure that your electrical panel or gas supply can support the chosen heater before we begin installation. Every unit is tested after setup to make sure it heats the space evenly and safely.
Minuteman Services ensures your garage heater is sized and installed for reliable winter performance. We help you get the most out of your system by matching it to your garage’s exact needs. With the right heater in place, your space stays warm, safe, and usable in any weather.
