Ramsey stretches west along the Mississippi and up the Rum River, with a mix of 1990s and newer subdivisions, homes on bigger lots and the newer development around the COR. It has more of a semi-rural feel than its neighbors.
With bigger lots come bigger garages and outbuildings, and more homeowners who want them heated. Some properties also run on propane rather than natural gas, which changes the equipment choices.

Ramsey questions
Asked by Ramsey 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.
What’s the best way to heat a big garage in Ramsey?
It depends on how you use it. A gas or propane unit heater warms the air quickly for a garage you use now and then; infrared or radiant tube heaters warm people and surfaces and suit taller shops; radiant floor heat is great if you’re pouring a new slab. We size and vent the heater for the space.
My Ramsey home runs on propane. Does a heat pump make sense?
Often it does. A heat pump paired with a propane furnace (dual fuel) lets the heat pump carry most of spring, fall and milder winter days, so you burn propane only when it’s truly cold.
Is my electric co-op relevant to my HVAC choices?
It can be. Connexus Energy serves much of Ramsey and, like other utilities, runs its own rebate and rate programs for heat pumps and efficient equipment. Check their current offers before you buy.
