Blaine sits just east of Coon Rapids, and much of it was built from the 1970s through the 2000s and later, from the older streets near Highway 65 to the large subdivisions around the Lakes and north toward the National Sports Center and TPC Twin Cities.
That means plenty of two-story homes where the upstairs runs hot in July, and plenty of furnaces and air conditioners installed in the 1990s and 2000s that are now reaching the end of their service life.

Blaine questions
Asked by Blaine homeowners.
More answers on the HVAC questions page.
Smell gas? Leave the house, don’t flip switches, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. CO alarm? Get everyone out and call 911. No heat in freezing weather? Call us, and never use the oven or a grill indoors for heat.
Why is the upstairs of my Blaine two-story so hot in summer?
Heat rises, the roof bakes, and a single system with one thermostat downstairs can’t see it. Fixes range from balancing the ducts and adding returns upstairs to variable-speed equipment or a zoned system. We measure before recommending anything.
Should I replace my furnace and AC at the same time?
If both are about the same age and one has failed, replacing them together often makes sense: the new indoor coil and outdoor unit are matched, and you pay for one installation. If one is much newer, we’ll tell you so and quote just what’s needed.
My newer Blaine home feels stuffy in winter. What helps?
Newer homes are built tight to save energy, so stale air and moisture stay in. An air exchanger (HRV or ERV) brings in fresh air while recovering heat, and it’s one of the indoor air quality systems we install.
