Connole & Somerville Heating & Air - Minot's Expert HVAC Repair

Ice buildup in Minot's humid summers is often caused by restricted airflow (like a dirty filter), low refrigerant, or a failing component. It's a sign your system is struggling and can lead to a complete breakdown. We recommend turning the system off to let it thaw and calling us for a diagnosis to prevent compressor damage, which is a costly repair.

A cracked heat exchanger in an older furnace can leak carbon monoxide into your home. Warning signs include a strange, chemical-like smell (not dust burning off), soot around the furnace, visible cracks on the metal, or moisture on interior windows. If you notice these, shut off the furnace, open windows, and call us immediately for a safety inspection. Your family's safety is our top priority.

Before our harsh Minot winters, a professional furnace tune-up is crucial. We check the heat exchanger for cracks, clean burners and sensors, test safety controls, and ensure proper airflow. This prevents mid-winter breakdowns, improves efficiency to lower bills, and most importantly, verifies your system is operating safely to protect against carbon monoxide risks.
