We had a rusted out gas pipe running to our BBQ that was leaking a lot of gas. I called Alex and he was here in about 20 minutes (I was lucky he had just finished another call). He spent the time to do the job right and explained what was done.

We recently had North Wind replace our old furnace. Communication was good from the estimate through the installation, and everything was left clean when they were finished. The new furnace is much quieter than the old one.

Homes & Businesses

Residential & Commercial HVAC Services

About 80% of our work is in homes: furnace and air conditioning repair and replacement, heat pumps, ductless AC, tank and tankless water heaters, gas lines, generators, hydronic heated floors and driveways, red tag corrections, and indoor air quality upgrades. As an authorized Mitsubishi Electric dealer, we also install single and multi-zone heat pump systems.

The rest is commercial HVAC work, usually larger projects such as:

  • Rooftop HVAC replacements for daycare and dental facilities
  • Large ventilation and exhaust projects
  • Hydronic boiler and snow-melt systems
  • Preventative maintenance for commercial properties

Our own crew does the HVAC and gas work. We bring in licensed specialty trades only for jobs outside that scope, such as crane lifts or electrical.
