It was in the 70s just a few days ago and now the local weather guys are calling for highs in the 40s and lows back down to the 30s. You may not want to shut down your furnace or boiler quite yet.

In fact, now is a great time to get a Precision Tune Up on your furnace or boiler. If you get your system cleaned and inspected now, come fall, you’ll be all set and won’t need to worry about getting your tune up done before it’s too late. Call or email Bonfe’s for your tune up today. If you’d like, we can also tune up your air conditioner as long as the weather allows (we need temps between 60 and 65 to do a tune up).

Bonfe’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Service, Inc. provides plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical and appliance repair.

Bonfe’s offers regular service from 7 am – 10 pm 7 days a week and also offers emergency service after 10. For service, schedule online or call 651/612-332-6633.

We had our first nice hot weekend a couple days ago. I was out with the kids, turned on the hose after playing football and it seemed like the middle of summer! My first thought was my air conditioner. I need to get it tuned up. I’m also thinking of getting it replaced this year or next.

I used to think that replacing an air conditioner or furnace was a pretty simple thing – until I started working here at Bonfe’s a few years back. After watching our HVAC installers do their thing, I know there’s much more to it than what Kramer does in this classic clip from Seinfeld.

Bonfe’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Service, Inc. has recently been asked to demonstrate our new duct sealing system. Aeroseal is a product offered by Bonfe’s that will greatly eliminate the amount of conditioned air lost in your current duct system. A clip of the recent episode can be seen on our duct sealing page.

It’s the middle of January and we’re expecting more cold weather. Is your furnace or boiler running as it should? Sure, most people get their heating equipment tuned up in the fall before the cold weather hits. But things get busy and annual maintenance of our heating and air conditioning equipment typically isn’t a priority for most homeowners.

Now is a great time to get your furnace or boiler cleaned and inspected for safe operation. The holidays are over, life is getting back to normal and there’s a lot of winter left here in Minnesota.

Bonfe’s provides two different tune up options. The first is a Safety Inspection which includes a visual inspection of the unit and a flue gas analysis which will tell us if the system is running safely. The second option is a Precision Tune Up which has all the benefits of the Safety Inspection but also includes cleaning and adjusting of all critical components.

If you’re looking for a new furnace this year, chances are you’re getting a number of bids. That’s one of the best decisions you can make when investing in your home - doing your homework. After you’ve had a couple of salesmen in your home, you began to realize there are a LOT of options out there. Everyone is coming into your home and talking about things such as BTUs, zones, thermostats, variable speed blowers, varying efficiencies and on and on. Once you have that figured out, you’re then given a brand. And everyone has their own brand that they’re selling, don’t they? Bonfe Signature System

At Bonfe’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Service, Inc., we make it easy on our customers. We offer our Bonfe Signature System for furnace replacements. Our product has proven to be as durable, cost effective and reliable as all the other brands on the market. In fact, our unit performs so well, we put our name on it.

Of course we’re partial to our product, but why shouldn’t we be? Our installers are the best. If you haven’t been told by any of your salesmen yet, the equipment is important, but it’s not going to do you any good if the installation is done poorly. Our product performs well because our installations are the best – and the City inspectors agree.

If you haven’t done so yet, call Bonfe’s at 651/612-332-6633 to schedule an appointment with one of our Comfort Consultants. You can also schedule your appointment online.

You probably haven’t turned on your furnace or boiler yet for the season, but before you do, there’s one important thing you need to do – schedule an appointment with a Bonfe’s heating technician to tune up your heating system and test for carbon monoxide (CO) leaks.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless odorless gas that can originate from your heating system. A Bonfe’s Precision Tune Up will test for high levels of carbon monoxide that may be dangerous to you and your family.

If you have an older furnace or boiler, a common source of CO can come from a cracked heat exchanger. This should be inspected every year to verify its integrity. If you haven’t had a tune up, but are concerned about CO in your home, you can also purchase a CO Expert from Bonfe’s. A CO Expert is a low level detector and alarm. It will detect the smallest leaks and notify you by a series of loud beeps. Once you read the level of the leak on the display, you will know if you need to call a technician, or in the case of a serious leak, get out of the home.

With Summer in full swing Bonfe’s is busy as ever and is looking to grow. The Saint Paul based HVAC company has recently hired Nate Williams as a new Comfort Consultant.

Even to the untrained eye this air conditioning installation doesn’t seem like a good idea from the start, does it?Dangerous AC Installation
At Bonfe’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Services, Inc. we have the most highly trained NATE Certified professionals to install your new heating and air conditioning systems. Many consumers focus on the brand of equipment being installed which can be important to some. But people need to realize that the most important aspect of their new equipment is the installation. If the system is not set up properly, it may not be as efficient, quiet or safe as it could be. Before our customers buy a new system, we refer them to our buying advice page
which informs customers on what to look for in a contractor, what questions to ask and informs them on the importance of properly sizing the equipment.

After our technicians complete your installation, they will complete a thorough checklist to ensure all aspects of the job have been completed to Bonfe’s standards. The install doesn’t stop there, however. We will then walk you through the operation of your new system and cover things such as thermostat operation, filter replacement and annual maintenance. Once we feel confident that you are familiar with your new system, we will clean our work area and leave you to enjoy the new level of comfort in your home.

We offer regular service from 7 AM to 10 PM 7 days a week for the entire Twin Cities Metro area. We also offer 24 hour emergency service for those inconvenient breakdowns that always seem to happen in the middle of the night.
