One of the Smallest, Most Historic Towns We Serve

Marine on St. Croix is a special place, and we do not say that about every town on our list. Living only a few miles from here means we Marine on St. Croix feels like our second home. From the General Store to the Brookside we've spent much time here outside of work hours. We have been serving homes in Marine since starting Howell Heating in 2004, and we take the same care with a nineteenth century home in the historic district as we do with anything newer.

We are family owned, not a franchise, so when you call us you are talking to people who actually live and work in this part of Minnesota, not someone reading from a script.

Furnace Repair and Installation in Marine on St. Croix

When your furnace stops working, we would rather figure out exactly what is wrong than guess at it. We repair furnaces that will not start, ones that run constantly without warming the house, and ones that shut off before the job is finished. A number of homes here are quite old, and we take extra care to understand how a heating system fits into a historic house before recommending anything. If a repair no longer makes sense, we will tell you plainly and walk you through what a replacement would cost and involve, without any pressure to decide right away.

We carry and are factory-trained on Lennox® and Carrier®, and we also service all major brands, so we can help regardless of what brand is currently installed in your home.

Air Conditioning Repair and Installation in Marine on St. Croix

A hot, humid stretch of summer has a way of exposing an air conditioner that has been struggling quietly for a while. We repair refrigerant leaks, failed capacitors, frozen coils, and units that run all day without actually cooling the house down. When it makes more sense to replace than repair, we also install heat pumps, which can lower both heating and cooling costs over time. For an older home without central ductwork, or a single room that needs its own comfort, a ductless mini split is often the simplest and most affordable option.

Indoor Air Quality, Thermostats and Maintenance

Comfort is not only about temperature. We install whole home humidifiers, which make a real difference here since Minnesota winters dry out indoor air quickly, along with air purifiers and ventilation systems for homes that need it. We also set up smart thermostats so you can manage your system and keep an eye on energy use right from your phone.

We do offer maintenance visits as well, though newer equipment does not always need much upkeep the way older systems do. Rather than talk you into a plan you might not need, we would rather you just give us a call. We will take a look at what you have and tell you honestly whether a maintenance visit makes sense for your home.
