What is the Best Furnace for Minnesota?

Check out what our owner, Jon Ryan, and Eric Perkins have to say about the best furnaces for Minnesota homeowners. 

When to Schedule a Furnace Repair

Not sure if you need furnace repair? Watch for these common signs that it’s time to call Genz-Ryan:

Uneven Heating:

If certain rooms in your home are colder than others, your furnace isn’t working efficiently. Consistent, even heating is a key sign of a healthy furnace—don’t settle for chilly spots.

Rising Energy Bills:

A sudden spike in your heating bills is often a red flag. Efficient furnaces keep energy costs stable, so climbing bills could mean it’s time for furnace repair.

Furnace is Under 15 Years Old:

Furnaces typically last 15–20 years. If your system is younger than that, chances are you just need a repair—not a full replacement.

Short Cycling (Turning On & Off):

Is your furnace constantly kicking on and off? Short cycling wastes energy and signals issues like damaged temperature sensors or clogged filters.

Dana Freeman
Ben was amazing! So friendly and knowledgeable!
Deb Anderson
I needed to repair my outside faucet, so I contacted Genz Ryan. They have been in business for 75 years and are accredited by the BBB. They took my information and scheduled a plumber the same day. Text updates were sent to me to alert me that the plumber was on the way. Ryan Addyman arrived and introduced himself. He did a complimentary check on the furnace, water softener and water heater. The estimate was prepared and was explained clearly. The job was completed and he cleaned up and couldn’t even tell he had done the repairs. I would recommend Ryan and would use them again.

While we were traveling, we had our in-laws watching the house. We were informed of an issue that needed immediate attention. After signing some digital forms and allowing for proxy decision making David came out and assessed the problem. He was able to determine the situation and present a variety of options we could choose from. He got our water running again and made the appropriate arrangements to have to job completed as efficiently and quickly as possible. We now are back to normal.

Michael was very knowledgeable about what he was doing.Also very friendly. I would recommend it to all my friends
Jerry Roth
We worked with Cesar, our service technician. Cesar had a very professional and friendly style. He initially was doing a water heater flush and fill. On inspection he found serious sediment build up that would have been difficult to address with our older water heater. He also found high water pressure in our system that indicated a failure of the pressure reduction valve in the main water line. Cesar clearly explained the issues he found and provided several options that would address these issues. After reviewing the options and pricing, we agreed on replacing our old water heater with a new Rheem electric water heater and replacing the faulty pressure reduction valve. Cesar then obtained all the parts needed and returned that same afternoon to complete the installation. After completion, Cesar reviewed his work with us, explaining each system component and recommendations for future annual maintenance that would keep our system functioning for the life of the components installed. All reconnections were professionally installed, and the workplace was left clean and dry. It was a pleasure working with Cesar as he continued our history of professional home maintenance services received from Genz Ryan technicians over the years.

Frequently Asked Questions

See All FAQs

What are your most common furnace problems?

At Genz-Ryan, our most common heating problems that we encounter include faulty thermostats, igniter failures, thermocouple failures, dirty flame sensors, sooty burners, faulty fan limiters, faulty capacitors, and clogged filters. All of these are relatively minor and inexpensive to repair.

How long do heating systems last?

Different heating systems have different standards for service life, though any can fall short or exceed its average based on maintenance, speedy repairs, and luck.

  • Furnaces can last 15 or 20 years but will be showing their age as early as 10 in some cases.
  • Heat pumps will outlast a furnace if used exclusively for heat but tend to fall short with a 10- to 15-year service life if used year-round for heating and cooling.
  • Hybrid systems last the longest because they strain their component systems less, as long as 25 years. It’s best to replace both systems when one or the other fails.

Ductless mini-splits use the same technology as heat pumps and share their service lives; lengthy for heating alone and shorter for year-round use.

How much do furnace repairs cost?

It will depend on the nature of the problem and the parts required to repair it. At Genz-Ryan, we will recommend the most cost-effective furnace repair options for your budget, and we will provide detailed estimates before work begins. You can also check out our financing options and special offers for other budget-saving measures.

Do you have financing programs available?

Can a cracked heat exchanger be repaired?

Because of the constant heat cycling that a heat exchanger must endure, once it’s damaged, it often cannot be repaired due to the deterioration of the surrounding metal. Installing a new heating system is often the most cost-effective option.
