Heating and Cooling Services in White Bear Lake, MN
Serving Homes Around One of the Metro's Favorite Lakes
The lake is part of what makes this town what it is, and we've gotten to know a lot of the homes around it since starting Howell Heating in 2004. We've been serving the 55110 area for more than twenty years now, and we treat every home we work on like it matters, because it does.
We're family owned, not a franchise, so when you call, you're talking to people who actually live and work in this part of Minnesota, not a recording or a script.
Furnace Repair and Installation in White Bear Lake
When your furnace stops working, we'd rather figure out exactly what's wrong than guess at it. We repair furnaces that won't start, ones that run constantly without warming the house, and ones that shut off before the job is finished. If a repair no longer makes sense, we'll 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 White Bear Lake
A hot, humid stretch of summer has a way of exposing an air conditioner that's 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 a garage, a porch, or a room that never quite matches the rest of the house, a ductless mini split is often a simpler and more affordable fix than running new ductwork.
Indoor Air Quality, Thermostats and Maintenance
Comfort isn't 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 doesn't always need much upkeep the way older systems do. Rather than talk you into a plan you might not need, we'd rather you just give us a call. We'll take a look at what you have and tell you honestly whether a maintenance visit makes sense for your home.

"We had Zack Howell from Howell Heating and Cooling install an AC unit and a new Lennox furnace about two years ago, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. From the start, Zack impressed us with his integrity and professionalism. He provided a fair and transparent price for the installation, which we greatly appreciated.
Since the installation, Zack has been extremely responsive to any follow-up questions we’ve had. His commitment to customer service is evident in his prompt and thorough responses. It’s clear that he values his customers and stands by his work.
Overall, I highly recommend Howell Heating and Cooling for their excellent service, fair pricing, and outstanding customer support. Thank you!"
