Why Waubun Calls Us

The HVAC Company That's Already in Town

Most heating and cooling contractors that serve Waubun drive in from Detroit Lakes, Bemidji, Thief River Falls or Fargo. That's fine in July. It's a problem at 2am in January when a propane furnace locks out and the house is losing a degree every twenty minutes. Waubun HVAC Pros has worked out of 1259 1st St since 2012, which means shorter drive times to Waubun, Ogema, Mahnomen, Naytahwaush and Bejou, and a technician who already knows how homes on the White Earth Reservation and across the Wild Rice River country are built, heated and ventilated.

Real 24/7 Emergency Heat

Nights, weekends and holidays. A furnace that won't light, a heat pump that's iced solid or an air conditioner that quits in a heat wave gets a callback from the owner, not an answering service that forwards your message in the morning.

Minutes Away, Not Counties Away

Being based on 1st St in Waubun puts us minutes from Ogema and Mahnomen and well under an hour from Naytahwaush, Bejou and Ada. Less windshield time means faster arrival and no inflated trip charges.

Every Fuel Type Out Here

Propane and natural gas furnaces, heat pumps on Wild Rice Electric's off-peak and dual-fuel setups, electric furnaces and plenum heaters, and central air. Rural northwest Minnesota homes mix fuels, and we service all of it.

Upfront, Written Quotes

You get the diagnosis and a written price before any repair starts. If the honest answer is that a 25-year-old furnace isn't worth another expensive part, we'll tell you that too.

Hours That Fit Real Schedules

Mon–Fri 8am–10pm and Sat–Sun 9am–8pm means most calls get handled at regular rates, even after a full workday at the plant, the farm or the school.

One Owner, Start to Finish

Dave Hendricks grew up in Mahnomen County and has run this shop since 2012. The person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, diagnoses the problem and stands behind the work.

More about us

How it works

What to expect, start to finish

1

Call and Describe the Problem

Call (218) 227-4357. Tell us what the system is doing: no heat, short cycling, blowing cold, water on the floor, an error code, a smell. Let us know the fuel type (propane, natural gas, electric or off-peak) and roughly how old the equipment is. That lets us bring the right igniter, flame sensor, capacitor or control board on the first trip instead of a second one.

2

Hands-On Diagnosis

We arrive, test the system under load and trace the problem to its real cause. That means gas pressure, flame signal, inducer draft, temperature rise, refrigerant pressures, capacitor readings and airflow. On high-efficiency furnaces we check the PVC intake and exhaust for snow, ice and frost, which cause a large share of mid-winter lockouts around here.

3

Written Quote, Your Decision

You get a plain-language explanation and a written price before any work begins. If there's a repair option and a replacement option, you'll see both with honest numbers. Nothing gets done until you say go.

4

Repair, Test and Walkthrough

We make the repair, run the system through complete heating or cooling cycles and verify safe operation. That includes a carbon monoxide check on fuel-burning equipment. Before we leave, we tell you what to watch for and what will keep it running through the next cold snap or heat wave.

Furnace & AC Repair FAQs — Waubun, MN

Still have questions? We're happy to talk it through.

(218) 227-4357
+ Do you do furnace repair in Waubun, MN?
Yes. Furnace repair is the majority of what we do from October through April. We work on propane and natural gas furnaces (standard and high-efficiency condensing models), electric furnaces and plenum heaters, and the off-peak electric setups many Wild Rice Electric members use. Common fixes include failed hot-surface igniters, dirty flame sensors, bad inducer motors, pressure switch faults, cracked PVC vent connections, blower motors and control boards.
+ Do you offer 24/7 emergency heating repair?
Yes, around the clock. A no-heat call in a Minnesota winter is an emergency because pipes can freeze within hours, so we treat it that way. Call (218) 227-4357 any time. While you wait, keep interior doors open, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, and check that the PVC vent pipes outside a high-efficiency furnace aren't buried in snow.
+ Do you repair air conditioners too?
Yes. We repair central air conditioners, ductless mini-splits and heat pumps in cooling mode. Summer calls are usually failed run capacitors, burned contactors after a storm, dirty condenser coils packed with cottonwood and field dust, low refrigerant from a leak, or a frozen evaporator coil caused by poor airflow.
+ What areas do you serve?
Waubun is our home base, so Waubun, Ogema, Mahnomen, Naytahwaush, Bejou and the rest of Mahnomen County get the fastest response. We also serve Ada, Halstad, Fertile, McIntosh, Lengby, Red Lake Falls, Thief River Falls, Park Rapids and Wolf Lake. If you're between those towns on a farm or lake place, call and we'll tell you honestly how quickly we can get there.
+ How much does HVAC repair cost?
It depends on what failed. A flame sensor cleaning or a capacitor is a modest bill; a heat exchanger, compressor or control board is a bigger decision. Every repair starts with a diagnostic visit, and you get a written price before any work starts. The diagnostic fee is applied to the repair when we fix it the same day. New installations and replacements get a free on-site estimate.
+ Do heat pumps actually work this far north?
Yes. Cold-climate air source heat pumps keep heating even below zero, and paired with a propane or electric furnace as backup (and Wild Rice Electric's off-peak rate, if you're a member) they can cut heating costs noticeably for rural homes. We size them for our actual winter design temperatures, not a southern sales brochure, and we'll tell you honestly if your house is a good candidate.
+ How often should my furnace be serviced?
Once a year, ideally in September or October, before the first hard freeze. A fall tune-up catches weak igniters, dirty flame sensors, cracked vent connections and failing inducer motors, which are the parts that tend to quit on the coldest night of the year. Air conditioners and heat pumps benefit from a spring check before the first hot stretch.
+ Do you install new furnaces and air conditioners?
Yes. We install high-efficiency furnaces, central air conditioners, cold-climate heat pumps and dual-fuel systems. Every install starts with a load calculation for your house, so the equipment matches your square footage, insulation and windows instead of just replacing like-for-like. We also check the ductwork, because a new furnace on bad ducts is still an uncomfortable house.
