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We had to replace an outdated heating system.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.

Jordan and crew fixed my mini-split leak quickly and got me running again before summer hits. They were professional and communicated well. Their pricing was very competitive - nearly 1/3 the cost that one of their competitors quoted me for the same repair. Would definitely call them back for future work!

Minuteman Services are very efficient, explained what the job entailed and completed it well. Appreciated timely service, knowledge and efficiency!

Called on a late Saturday and got an immediate response from Shane. He helped me trouble shoot and saved me big money, fixed our eletrical problem. Cannot say thank you enough!!!

Our furnace went out, and Travis and the team were able to quickly get over and give us an estimate on a repair and a replacement. (As a courtesy, they even have a lock box with space heaters if you need to get through a night or two without heat.) We ended up not only replacing the furnace, but adding central air as well. They were able to get it done in 2 days, and the system is super quiet and distributes the heat and A/C really nicely. They even added an outlet to the outside of the house, which is great because we didn't have any before! There was a small issue about where the furnace was venting out. We have an enclosed deck, and it was just venting out onto the deck. Despite not being in the bid, they routed the vent out to the side so that we wouldn't be breathing in any more exhaust/CO! However, it didn't look as clean as it could be the first time they did it, and we had some suggestions to make it look better that Travis fully supported and said that they would take care of (even though it was like an additional project in the first place). They redid it with a good attitude, and it looks really clean now! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Minuteman! Even got this nice red hoodie as an appreciation gift 😀

Excellent Service Top Notch Service Jason And Dillon And Crew Very Experienced A Jop Well Done Thank You All So Very Much. Brian Ruth Kidder

We had Minuteman retrofit our main ductwork to make the air distribution more efficient and eliminate "hot spots." The crew was professional and efficient. I'm very pleased with their work. I recommend them without reservation!

You guys were great. Best customer service I've had in a while always returned your calls and worked with you as far as financing and did a great job in a timely manner would 100% recommend them.

Minuteman lives up to their name! Called before they showed up, arrived on time and provided an same-day estimate for a furnace replacement. Again, called and showed up on time on the day of the replacement, and finished within the promised time. Talked through the operation/maintenance of the new unit and maintenance plans and made sure all questions were answered. ...and the price could not be beat (less than half of some others!) I'd give them 10 stars if I could!

Quick to respond and very reasonable and thorough. I've had them do a few things and they've done it with great quality.

My furnace went out while it was -5° outside and Minuteman was able to be there quickly and get it running fast! Other companies that have looked at my furnace in the past have said it’s past its life expectancy and that I need replace it, but Minuteman took the time to make repairs and explain proper maintenance to try to get more life out of my older furnace! They never once mentioned a replacement.

This company provided incredible service. They came to our home quickly to inspect our furance, which in the end did need replaced. The employee who came to our home was so helpful and informative with each step of the process. The next day, employees came to install the new furnace and worked diligently and thoroughly. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing furance/HVAC needs. I will definitely be a return customer.

Travis was excellent in finding out what was wrong with a furnace he was checking out for me! I would use Minuteman anytime! They are great people.

My daughter’s cadet heater stopped working after smoking and they came same day to diagnose and replace the unit. Thank you for caring for our family in a timely manner!

Jason and Trevor were very friendly and knowledgeable in replacing our furnace. Highly recommended.

Minuteman Services go the extra mile to do all they can to help! Jarrod and Travis were fantastic! They were very efficient and quick to come out to fix the problem. I highly recommend these guys. They know what they're doing. Thank you!

What an amazing team of people! They work so hard to take care of their clients. They got my furnace replaced quickly so that I could keep myself and my dogs warm in the middle winter. Thank you!

The guys at Minute Man are the best. Very professional and knowledgeable I highly recommend them.

I was tight for time and they scheduled me in. Huge help. And the tech they sent was professional, personable and quick. These folks get the nod for all HVAC related work in the future.

Our whole family in the area uses Minuteman Services! From electrical work to HVAC work. We just had them install two brand new heating systems on Dec 12 & 13th 2024. The AC systems will be installed in the spring. Very professional and willing to answer all my questions. Their workers were very respectful of the house when they did the install putting down floor protectant and cleaning up everything.

I was very pleased with the thorough evaluation and repair that Travis provided. In the future, I will contact your company and request Travis. Thank you!

They were very helpful, explained the wiring problems and went above and beyond in getting the parts we needed. They were polite, respectful of our home, and diligently cleaned up after their work. I appreciated very all their hard work.

They did an excellent job in diagnosing and repairing the two issues we had. They were courteous and tidy during their visit. I would definately use them again.

Timely and professional. Stayed to get the job done during the holidays. Would recommend.

All the guys at minute man services did a great job at our place. we were impressed with thier professional job they did for us. They all were courteous and punctual. They cleaned up too!! I would recommend then highly. Thank you again.

They service anything from small jobs to big jobs. Extremely hard to find a company that will do a small electrical job. These guys do it all. Fast,friendly service for a reasonable price. Highly recommend this company for your electrical needs and service 👏.

I was having an issue with a breaker and these folks did a great job fixing it. Ted pinpointed the problem and Shane and crew came out and fixed it. I highly recommend this company!

We were very impressed in the timely manner that Minuteman serviced our furnace! They were very helpful and answered all of our questions. We will be calling them again!

Great service, did exactly what they said they would do and got the new furnace installed.

Ted did some electrical work for us, was super responsive on the phone and helped me trouble shoot multiple issues that were 100% my ignorance not any fault of the work he did. He also made some thoughtful suggestions to improve the ideas we had. Update Dec 2024: I needed electrical work done on a new home after moving and Minuteman came through again! They were on time, had good ideas to help me get all the outlets i needed and were diligent about making sure I had everything done to my satisfaction. Great crew. Great service.

These guys always do great work and respond right away. Highly recommend for all HVAC needs

Great company. Travis communicated well, showed up when he said he would, offered a timely appointment and options to proactively care for my equipment going forward. That was a painless service call- broken heater experience! Thank you.

Minuteman's electricians are awesome. I needed help with some breakers that were constantly flipping. They were able to quickly identify the issue and gave me several options on what to do. Their bid was in range of what I would expect that kind of repair to take. They were very professional, on time, and patient with all my questions so I can be a better informed homeowner. 5/5. I highly recommend them!

Fast. Good work. Great prices. They are great to work with. Highly recommend

This Crew did an amazing job that came through and did what they needed to do showed me after what they did and cleaned up everything after themselves and sat and explained and had asked us if we had any questions or if we need anything

Justin and Jarod ROCK!!...AND TRAVIS 😉 Sorry Travis, for some reason I keep mistaking you for a Justin. Travis, ROCKS!!! It is so good to have our furnace up and running again. Great work and fair price. Will be wanting a complete furnace upgrade through Minuteman. Cannot say enough positive things about this company.

Jarrod was the absolute best. He came and fixed our issue with our heat. He was fast and he did an amazing just. 10/10 service. Ask for Jarrod he did the best service and was professional.

Very responsive and gave me great customer service! They were able to get out there the same day and fix my furnace. Highly recommend 👍

We used Minuteman Services to do an annual service on the HVAC system in our office. They were very easy to work with and did a great job. Their fees were not exorbitant either! They didn't waste time, explained things to me and offered to set up a maintenance plan for winter and summer. I would highly recommend them for both home and office HVAC needs.

Minuteman was great. Very responsive and flexible, timely delivery, made the whole swap-out a complete breeze. Highly recommend.

My main reason for replacing my old HVAC system is to save money on my high electrical bill. Minute Man Service did an outstanding job replacing my 20 year old HVAC system and replaced it with a more efficient HVAC system that includes a 2 stage a/c & thermostat. Jarrod Mount was the tech who removed the old system and installed the new system. Jarrod was also the person who came to my house and submitted the bid I could not reject because of the very reasonable price. I therefore give Minuteman Services my highest recommendation.

This is best I've worked with. Affordable, knowledgeable, friendly and professional! I will definitely call on them again. Thank you guys.

Ted and his crew came on time, established their plan of action, ran wiring through the crawlspace to exterior conduit and heat cables on the roof, ensured they left no trash or tracks in spite of the rain and carefully explained how to use the system before they left. A superb job by a group of professionals!

Great service. Friendly, detail oriented and very professional. A great company for your electrical needs. I will use this company again and again.

I had the best experience with Jarrod, Shane and the Minuteman Services crew. They were honest, reliable & professional to work with. They installed a cadet heater, sub panel, washer & dryer plugs as well as interior and exterior lights in our Shed. They even helped me choose the fixtures which I appreciated! They completed the entire job within one day making sure they did not interrupt our renters at our Cabin which was very thoughtful. Can't wait to work with them again!

Very prompt service, extremely knowledgeable staff and courteous interaction.

Travis was very polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. He explained Contracts for service and we were pleased with no hidden costs. We’re confident we’ll get what we pay for.

Minuteman services was amazing! They provided a quote for my furnace replacement, answered all of my questions, and provided wonderful communication. The day they installed my new furnace, they were very kind and did a great job. If you need a new furnace, this is the service to use! Thank you Minuteman Services!

My husband and I just opened a new business, and needed some last minute electrical work done before we could open. Minute Man was able to get there very quickly and help us with what we needed for a reasonable price. I definitely recommend them!

We used them for an electrical problem in a mobile home. They were very quick on finding the problem and getting it fixed. Price was very fair! Highly recommend them!

Minuteman services did a fantastic job installing the electrical in our basement. They were quick to respond and schedule us. The communication was great as well during the install. We were never left wondering if or when something would be done. They gave clear timelines and stuck to them. The company was very honest and reasonable.

Ted and Shane did excellent work upsizing my electrical panel and connecting the heat tape for my gutters. They are both easy to talk to and very professional. I highly recommend their work to anyone.

Always an excellent job. These guys are professionals and know what they are doing. And we can always count on them.

Great experience with this company. First of all honesty and integrity, I appreciated his friendliness, communication, he was on time, even had it done before he thought it would be. Definitely would recommend them. Local Family owned and operated was also a plus for me. Sitting here in my nice cool house on a hot day! Thanks MinuteMan Services!

My air conditioner quit working. Called Minuteman Services the next morning and they showed up by noon and had the issue resolved within the hour. Great customer service, and quick response time.

These guys are amazing, excellent technicians and fair prices. you guys rock!!!

Completely recommend Minuteman Services. We have had them repair our AC unit at a much more reasonable price than competitors.

Friendly. On-time. Work was done right. Reasonable prices. Can't go wrong with the locally owned Minutemen!

During the last repair of our AC unit, we spoke with Minuteman about the eventual replacement of our AC unit. Unfortunately, that happened sooner rather than later (no fault of Minute Service) and they were able to give us an accurate quote, without having to come back, because they had taken some detailed notes and photos the previous service visit. They provided a fair and reasonable quote and even offered to help provide some temporary measures to ensure we had some relief from the hottest temps of the summer so far. Great work, they protected the area they were working from damage and kept me informed of the status. Highly recommend Minuteman Service for any of your HVAC needs

We used Minuteman to service our furnace and to fix a few electrical issues we had to address before selling. Communication and scheduling were great, I was able to get someone to my home within the same week. I felt they were very knowledgeable and efficient; I also feel that I paid a fair price for the service. I would highly recommend for any electrical or HVAC needs.

I can not say enough positive things about this service! Travis was extremely professional- always kept us informed on status via a quick text update, the price was extremely reasonable and the service was much quicker than we expected during a very busy season! Give them a call- you won’t regret it!

Travis was AMAZING. Showed up early, was so kind, responsive, and taught as he went. His prices were so fair! You have a customer for life!

I had a fire at my house due to my AC and needed electrical. I was recommended Minuteman Services by a co-worker. I am so glad she did. Jarrod got someone out to get me a quote same day. When I was ready for the repairs, I called Ted and he set me up the next day. Everyone we have come in contact with has been very nice and understanding. Their prices are amazing too. I will be using Minuteman Services for all my HVAC and electrical needs from now on.

Amazing service, outstanding work by Travis. Affordable prices. I’ll be using them again in the near future

Super friendly, easy to work with. They were in and out. Great communication

Jordan and Aiden were amazing. The customer service was exceptional and they definitely went the extra mile for me and my business! I Highly recommend them!

Great Service and great job on all their jobs they did for us!! I recommend them highly!!

I am a Senior so having a company like Minute Man do repairs & installations with such professionalism & caring was an extremely positive experience. Dylan, Devon & Travis are an outstanding team of workers. When they left I had no questions because they explained & went over everything. As well as the clean up, it was as if no one had been here. Thank you!

Travis was quick to respond to our request for assistance in setting up a new mini-split system. The team was very good to work with and their installation was clean and quick. They were able to finish in 3 days after projecting 4 days originally. They were very good to communicate alterations that were necessary and include us in the decision. The team was considerate of our schedule and made sure we were pleased with the end product, which we are.

Ted was great when I called to schedule and followed up the day of service. Shane called to let me know he was on the way and did a great job. He even cleaned up behind himself, the only way you could tell he was there, was the excellent job done. All around great experience and fair price. Thank you so much.

I filled out a request online and they contacted me that same day. They showed up the next day to do a bid and started the job the following business day! They did a great job, were affordable, professional and courteous! I would highly recommend Minuteman Services for your electrical work!

We had minute man services replace our furnace, I am very pleased with their work! Definitely will be recommending to family/friends.

I needed help with my furnace in a hurry and had no idea who to trust. A friend recommended Minute Man and they were great! Timely, professional, quality service for a good price. I highly recommend them to others!

We had Minuteman do some electrical work for us recently, running new ethernet cable for security cameras. Shayne was very responsive, prompt, friendly, and did a great job. Definitely recommend them!

Minuteman came out to replace our heaters, put in new ventilation fans, and install a heating/AC unit. They were very respectful, friendly, and even took time to play fetch with our dog. They were alway here when they said they would be, and called each time to let us know they were on their way. They took care to treat our home like their own. They took precautions to keep things clean, and left the floors and things as clean or cleaner than when they got here. Can not recommend them enough!!!

Contacted me back very quickly after waiting over a year for a previous company to show up. They were quick and professional. Awesome work. Jordan and devyn did amazing

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.
Minuteman Services helps customers save money through precise heat pump repairs that eliminate wasted energy. When your system is repaired correctly, it uses less power and delivers better results. Small problems can have a big impact on your energy bill. Our team focuses on repairs that make your system efficient again. We take the time to fix the problem and verify that your heat pump runs the way it should. Better performance means lower costs, fewer breakdowns, and a more comfortable home. Trust us to help improve your system and your savings.
Regular maintenance helps prevent heat pump repairs by catching problems early and keeping all parts of the system clean and functional. Basic steps like changing air filters every one to three months and keeping outdoor units free of debris go a long way. Seasonal tune-ups are also critical for checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, tightening electrical connections, and testing controls. Minuteman Services offers professional heat pump maintenance that includes a complete inspection and performance test. We recommend two service visits each year, one before summer and one before winter. This ensures your heat pump is ready for peak demand and helps avoid emergency breakdowns. A well-maintained system runs longer, uses less energy, and needs fewer repairs over time.
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.
