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 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.

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.

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.
Our technician starts each maintenance visit with a system safety check. We inspect the thermostat, air handler, outdoor unit, and all major components. We then clean the indoor and outdoor coils to improve heat exchange and efficiency. We also check the blower motor, measure voltage and current, and test the capacitor, contactor, and control board. Refrigerant levels are measured and adjusted if needed. We also inspect the condensate drain, clean out any blockages, and verify proper drainage. Every part of the system is evaluated and documented for performance and safety.
Minuteman Services helps customers avoid major repairs with detailed heat pump maintenance. We find small issues before they become expensive problems. Maintenance helps protect your system, reduce utility costs, and ensure consistent comfort year-round. With regular service, your heat pump performs better and lasts longer. We also offer service plans with reminders, preferred scheduling, and priority repair support. Keeping your system maintained is one of the best ways to protect your investment. Let our team keep your heat pump running the way it should.
