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.

Customer enrolled in family rewards membership program for ongoing preventative maintenance services.
# 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. Visual inspection revealed high voltage wiring damage at outdoor unit caused by rodent activity. Wiring insulation had been chewed through, compromising electrical connections and preventing power delivery to the condensing unit. Found multiple damaged conductors and deteriorated wire connections with debris accumulation in electrical compartment. Repaired damaged high voltage wiring by cutting back compromised sections and installing new wire connections with proper wire nuts. Re-routed and secured all electrical conductors to prevent future rodent access. Cleaned debris from electrical compartment including leaves and organic material that had accumulated around wire connection
Completed seasonal AC tune-up and inspection, finding system operational but with significant coil buildup. Disassembled access panel, thoroughly cleaned evaporator coil to restore proper airflow and efficiency, and reassembled unit. Provided membership program information for future preventative maintenance services.
Responded to low water pressure complaint affecting tub fixtures on multiple floors. Removed hair clog from tub drain and cleared sediment buildup from spout aerator, restoring proper water flow and drainage to both levels.
Responded to a no cool call on a newly installed Lennox air conditioning system. Upon arrival, discovered service valves on the condenser unit were in the closed position, causing the unit to cycle on high pressure. Opened both liquid and suction line service valves and monitored system operation for approximately 20 minutes to verify proper function. Confirmed system pressures returned to normal range, indoor temperature began decreasing as expected, and unit operated quietly without abnormal sounds or cycling issues. System restored to full operational status.
Completed annual Family Rewards cooling maintenance visit on 1-year-old residential air conditioning system. Performed comprehensive tune-up including inspection of outdoor condensing unit and associated equipment. System operating properly with no issues identified or repairs required.
Responded to a no-cooling complaint on a 10+ year old air conditioning system that had been running continuously for 9 hours. Upon arrival, performed comprehensive inspection of the evaporator coil and heat exchanger, finding no major cracks or damage, though minor spotting was noted on both interior and exterior surfaces of the heat exchanger. Proceeded to outdoor condenser unit and discovered absence of 240V power supply. Traced electrical issue to indoor breaker which was found in the off position. After restoring power to the system, conducted diagnostic testing and identified a failed run capacitor as the root cause of the malfunction. Replaced the defective capacitor with new component and verified compressor operation. Confirmed system cooling performance with refrigerant pressure readings now within manufacturer specifications and proper operating range. Unit restored to normal cooling operation.
Performed scheduled maintenance tune-up on Goodman air conditioning condenser unit. Conducted comprehensive system inspection including refrigerant level verification, amperage testing, and overall component assessment. All readings were within acceptable operating parameters and unit demonstrated proper cooling performance. Identified and replaced out-of-range capacitor to prevent potential compressor damage and ensure optimal system operation. Verified clean condenser coil and air filter. Confirmed system operating efficiently upon completion of service.
Responded to report of water accumulation around furnace unit installed last year with concerns about improper air filtration. Upon inspection, discovered blower fan speeds were set to medium-low, causing inadequate airflow across the evaporator coil which resulted in coil freezing and subsequent water discharge. Adjusted blower fan speeds to proper settings and verified coil temperature had risen above 32°F to confirm thawing. Measured and documented system pressures and temperatures using refrigerant manifold gauges. Indoor ambient temperature recorded at 68°F with outdoor temperature at 67°F. System operational with corrected airflow upon departure.
Completed comprehensive plumbing inspection of residential property as part of routine preventive maintenance program. Thoroughly examined all accessible plumbing fixtures, supply lines, and drainage systems throughout the home, including bathroom facilities and utility areas.

Responded to no heat call on 17-year-old Carrier 80% efficiency furnace. Upon arrival, performed system evaluation and diagnostics to determine cause of heating failure. Utilized inspection camera equipment to assess internal components and ductwork condition. During diagnostic process, identified seized blower motor as primary failure point preventing system operation. Documented significant access limitations due to installation configuration - unit located in confined closet space with stackable washer/dryer combo positioned directly in front of furnace, preventing adequate clearance for service or repair work. Current installation does not provide sufficient access to service panels or blower compartment. Photographed equipment labels, installation conditions, and utilized borescope inspection camera to document internal component condition given limited physical access to unit. Captured images of ductwork and mechanical components for assessment documentation. Informed propert
