Waubun HVAC Pros provides furnace repair, heater repair, AC repair and heating and cooling service for Bejou and the farms of northern Mahnomen County. Bejou sits on U.S. Highway 59 about eight miles north of Mahnomen, which puts it roughly 18 miles straight up the highway from our shop in Waubun. That's a short drive by northwest Minnesota standards, and much shorter than waiting on a contractor coming from Thief River Falls or Fargo.
Small town, big exposure
Bejou is a small city of fewer than a hundred residents, surrounded by open farmland that drains toward the Wild Rice River. Most of the homes we service around Bejou are farmhouses and rural homes on acreage, not town lots, and that shapes their heating needs. Wind sweeps across the fields with little to slow it down. Snow drifts pile against the house, outbuildings and anything else in the way. Many homes heat with propane, some with off-peak electric through Wild Rice Electric, and some with a combination.
Common heating calls around Bejou
Drift-blocked furnace vents. High-efficiency furnaces vent through PVC pipes on the side of the house, and on an exposed farmstead those pipes get buried or packed with wind-driven snow. The furnace locks out, and the house starts cooling down. It's our most frequent winter call from open country like this.
Propane furnace ignition problems. Weak igniters, dirty flame sensors and failing gas valves tend to show themselves on the first truly cold nights.
Backup furnaces on off-peak systems. A propane furnace that only runs during peak-control periods can sit idle for weeks. When it finally gets called on, often during the coldest weather, minor problems become no-heat problems.
Uneven heat in added-on farmhouses. Rooms added over the decades often weren't designed into the original duct system. We can find the cause and fix it.
Summer AC and heat pumps
Summer calls from the Bejou area are usually AC units with failed capacitors after a storm, or condenser coils matted with field dust and chaff during planting and harvest. Cold-climate heat pumps are also a strong option out here. They cool in summer and carry a big share of the heating load in spring and fall, cutting propane use, with the furnace kept as backup for deep cold.
