Heating and Cooling Services in Shafer, MN
Your Local Heating and Cooling Team in Shafer
Howell Heating has served homeowners across Chisago County and the north metro since 2004. We’re a small, family-owned company based in Forest Lake, and when you call during business hours, you’ll talk to a real person who knows heating and cooling. From older homes to newer builds throughout the 55074 area, we repair, replace, and install the systems that keep your home comfortable year-round.
Furnace and Air Conditioning Service in Shafer
When your furnace quits on a cold night or your air conditioner can’t keep up in July, we find the real cause and fix it right. If your equipment is getting older and repairs keep adding up, we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s worth fixing or time to replace, with no pressure either way. We also install heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, boilers, and Reznor® garage heaters. Estimates on new equipment installs are always free, and financing is available.
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.
Ductwork Installation and Repair in Shafer
Not every comfort problem is about the furnace or air conditioner itself. Ductwork that is undersized, poorly sealed, or was never properly designed for your home can leave some rooms too hot in summer and too cold in winter no matter how well the equipment is running. We install new ductwork for additions, finished basements, and homes that never had central air to begin with, and we repair or reroute existing duct systems that are leaking air, disconnected, or just not sized correctly. If ductwork is part of what’s holding your comfort back, we will tell you as part of a straightforward evaluation rather than just replacing equipment and hoping it helps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What brands do you work on?
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. That includes Trane, American Standard, Goodman, Amana, Rheem, Ruud, York, Bryant, and more.
Do you offer free estimates?
Estimates on new equipment installs are always free, including furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, mini-splits, boilers, and garage heaters. Repairs are handled as a service call.
Do you offer 24 hour emergency furnace and AC repair?
During business hours, you’ll always get a real person on the phone here, not a recording. We’re a small, hands on team, so after hours, evenings, weekends, holidays, we may not catch every call the moment it comes in, but we check in often and call back quickly. When we do connect, we’ll talk through what’s happening with your system together and see if there’s something safe you can try in the meantime to hold you over until we can get out there and take care of it right.
