Greater Cottage Gove Area
Most residential properties in the “Original” Grove have natural gas access. That makes gas furnaces and boilers popular home-heating options on both sides of Great River Road. When upgrading, we encourage area homeowners to consider high-efficiency boilers and furnaces along with programmable and smart thermostats. The reduced fuel consumption can be considerable. For more substantial energy savings, customers can explore dual-fuel heat pumps or grid-based and stand-alone solar-powered add-ons for their heating.
The average water hardness in Cottage Grove is high at around 17 grains per gallon. That’s due to our proximity to the Mississippi River. If you’re unsure what your water hardness is, our technicians can test it for you. You can then explore the solutions we offer if needed. For many area homes, a water softener can save big money over the years. It can do that by protecting your pipes, fixtures, water heater, and other water-using appliances.
Some of the homes in the region, including the John P. Furber house, date back to the 1800s. It’s not unusual to find older electrical systems no longer up to code. Our team encourages all area homeowners to schedule regular electrical inspections. Even many newer homes in town don’t have whole-house surge protection. For older homes, we can upgrade the electrical panel, add GFCI and AFCI protection, and add lighting and outlets.

Kyle F.
Responded to a kitchen sink stoppage that remained clogged despite homeowner's attempts to clear with hand snake and power auger. Upon diagnostic assessment, determined the blockage was most likely caused by food debris accumulation and significant scale buildup on the interior pipe walls. Utilized flex shaft machine in combination with branch line camera to effectively clear the obstruction and remove accumulated scale deposits from the drain line. Ran water continuously during the cabling process to flush away loosened debris and ensure complete clearance. After clearing the blockage, performed verification testing by filling and draining the kitchen sink multiple times to confirm proper drainage flow and inspected all connections for leaks, with no issues detected upon completion.

Craig M.
Responded to callback for recently installed 2.5 ton AC system not maintaining desired temperature. Verified system operation, blower speeds, evaporator coil condition, and air filter—all found functioning within normal parameters. Identified contributing factors including portable AC unit running upstairs with house already above setpoint, and basement room with powered ventilation creating negative pressure in home. Negative pressure was drawing conditioned air out through passive intake in mechanical room, significantly impacting system efficiency. Recommended sealing off room containing powered vent and providing dedicated passive air intake for that space to eliminate negative pressure issue. Suggested relocating portable AC unit to problem room for supplemental temperature control if needed. Documented attic insulation and system conditions with photos.

Moe R.
Responded to no cooling complaint on 20-year-old Trane air conditioning system with reported breaker tripping issues. Upon arrival, system was operational and residence was at comfortable temperature. Performed diagnostic testing and found compressor drawing near maximum rated amperage, indicating potential compressor failure or internal mechanical seizure. Inspection revealed previous rodent damage to wiring with documented history of high voltage shorts from mice chewing electrical connections, which may have compromised compressor windings and contributed to current electrical issues. Visual inspection of condenser coil showed moderate dirt accumulation affecting heat transfer efficiency. Discussed repair versus replacement options given unit age, recurring service history, and compressor condition. Coordinated follow-up appointment with service advisor to review comprehensive solutions and provide estimate for necessary repairs or system replacement.

Xavier C.
Responded to no-cool complaint on 15-year-old air conditioning system with outdoor unit tripping circuit breaker. Upon inspection, discovered rodent damage to compressor wiring with visible evidence of mice intrusion into the condenser unit. Performed electrical diagnostics and measured amperage draw from compressor, which exceeded manufacturer specifications and was causing the breaker trips. The compromised wiring and out-of-range electrical draw indicate significant compressor deterioration consistent with the unit's age and previous recurring service history. During site inspection, also identified an active water leak at the base of the water heater that poses risk of water damage and potential mold growth requiring prompt attention. System condition reflects age-related wear and declining performance typical of equipment beyond its expected service life.

# No Cool Call - Outdoor Unit Inoperative Responded to no cooling complaint on 10+ year old air conditioning system. Upon arrival, found indoor blower fan running continuously but outdoor condensing unit completely inoperative. Previous service history indicated compressor replacement performed last month.
