New Richmond has become one of the most interesting communities in western Wisconsin. While many people still know it for its small-town character, local events, and strong sense of community, the city has experienced tremendous growth in recent years. New neighborhoods continue expanding across the area, bringing a mix of young families, Twin Cities commuters, and long-time residents who have watched New Richmond evolve into one of the region’s fastest-growing housing markets.
With that growth comes a changing set of homeowner priorities. Families are investing in backup power systems, electric vehicle chargers, water quality improvements, high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment, and smart home technology. Hurlburt Heating, Cooling, Electrical, & Plumbing works throughout New Richmond every week helping homeowners keep pace with those changes while protecting the comfort and reliability of their homes.
A City Where Homeowners Think Long-Term
One thing that stands out about New Richmond is how many residents view their homes as long-term investments. Whether it’s an established property near downtown, a newer home in Westfields or East Meadow, or an acreage outside city limits, homeowners here tend to focus on preventing problems before they happen. That mindset continues to drive interest in preventative maintenance, system upgrades, efficiency improvements, and whole-home protection solutions throughout the community.
Powering the Modern New Richmond Home
The electrical demands placed on homes today are dramatically different than they were even ten years ago. Throughout neighborhoods like East Meadow, Westfields, and the growing developments along Highway 64, homeowners are adding electric vehicles, home offices, smart technology, and advanced AC and Heating systems that place greater demands on electrical infrastructure. Combined with New Richmond’s history of severe weather, that has created growing interest in generators, panel upgrades, surge protection, and other improvements that increase both reliability and convenience.

Improving indoor air quality is often one of the simplest ways to create a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

Responded to callback for kitchen AC unit not cooling following previous leak repair. Upon inspection, discovered the small TXV line connecting to the suction line had failed and blown off. Failure attributed to embrittlement of the line from previous brazing repair on the suction line crack, causing the line to become too brittle to withstand system pressure.
Implemented temporary solution by disconnecting the affected compressor and bypassing its low pressure switch to restore partial cooling capacity with the remaining compressor. This allows the unit to provide cooling while scheduling the permanent repair.
Full repair will require approximately four hours and involves either reconnecting the TXV line properly or upgrading the TXV assembly to eliminate the need for brazing the small diameter line. Photos documented the failed connection point and affected components. Unit currently operational with single compressor configuration pending scheduled repair completion.
