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 warranty call for rattling noise on recently installed air conditioning system. Upon arrival, performed initial system diagnostics including decibel readings (62 dB) and compressor amperage testing (5+ amps). System was cooling properly but noise concern required investigation. Discovered refrigerant overcharge during charge verification testing. Checked airflow prior to refrigerant adjustment. Recovered approximately 6-7 ounces of refrigerant to bring charge to manufacturer specifications. Post-adjustment testing showed reduced decibel levels and lower compressor amperage due to proper system loading. Verified unit operation within normal parameters. Customer satisfied with noise reduction and overall system performance compared to previous equipment.

Responded to no cooling complaint on two separate Mitsubishi mini split systems—one serving the main living/kitchen area and one in the back bedroom. Upon arrival, found both indoor heads producing weak airflow and inadequate cooling. Initial inspection revealed both systems had never been professionally cleaned, with indoor evaporator coils heavily clogged with dust and debris accumulation restricting airflow. Outdoor condensing unit coils were completely obscured by dirt buildup, preventing proper heat rejection.
Both systems were operational with compressors running and condensate draining properly, indicating refrigerant circuits were intact. Root cause of no cooling condition identified as severely restricted airflow due to lack of maintenance on both indoor and outdoor components.
Scheduled return visit with coil jet equipment and mini split bib cleaning kit to perform comprehensive cleaning and maintenance on both systems. Work scope includes deep cleaning of indoor evaporator
