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.

Jacob did a great job helping clear a drain from my home and was cool enough to tell me how to resolve another simple plumbing issue. He had even been a great help on a previous visit to our home when we purchased our water heater and we'd have him out again to help us with any future plumbing needs. Good service and very friendly 👍🏾

Very polite and thorough.
Peg Mosier
We had Jacob Brausen from Genz-Ryan come out and do some plumbing work on some plugged drains. He was very thorough and friendly as he clearly highlighted our options!
This was a long overdue project. We gathered the facts from Jacob who is very knowledgeable and skilled at plumbing! We picked the option that met our need and he worked hard to get the job done.
We are very satisfied with the work he did on our much needed drains. They work!!! We’d give him 10 stars if they had them!!!
Next time you need some plumbing done, call Genz-Ryan and ask for Jacob Brausen!
Keely Osberg
Our expectation was we would need to replace our 28 year old furnace. Dane confirmed without trying to "sell" us one.
He took pictures and explained. I very much appreciate that!

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.
