Countryside Refrigeration & Heating technician completing a professional furnace installation to ensure safe, efficient home heating.

Furnace Installation

When it comes to staying warm through Minnesota’s coldest seasons, your furnace plays a crucial role in maintaining comfort and safety. At Countryside Refrigeration & Heating, we specialize in expert furnace installation for homes and businesses throughout the Mankato area. Whether you’re building new, replacing an outdated system, or upgrading to a more efficient model, our team provides the guidance and expertise needed to get the job done right.

Why You Might Need Furnace Installation

Older furnaces lose efficiency over time and often struggle to keep up with modern heating demands. You might notice higher energy bills, uneven room temperatures, or the need for frequent repairs. These are all signs it may be time for a new furnace installation. Investing in a properly sized, professionally installed furnace helps eliminate these issues and sets your home up for long-term comfort and reliability. Choosing the right system now can also prevent emergency breakdowns later on when temperatures drop.

What Goes Into a Successful Installation

Furnace installation is more than just replacing an old unit with a new one. It starts with a detailed assessment of your home’s layout, insulation, and ductwork. Our technicians calculate the proper size and type of furnace that matches your space, ensuring optimal airflow and energy use. From safely removing your old equipment to configuring the new system with your home’s unique setup, we manage the entire process to deliver lasting, high-performance results.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

A new furnace installation offers a great opportunity to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Modern systems are designed with better combustion technology, improved airflow, and smart thermostat compatibility, helping reduce monthly utility costs. Many high-efficiency furnaces also qualify for rebates or energy incentives, which can lower your upfront investment. We’ll help you explore those options and explain how your new system will pay off over time through energy savings.

Our Furnace Installation Process

Every installation begins with a site visit and consultation. We take time to listen to your goals, assess your current system, and identify the best replacement options. On installation day, our certified technicians carefully remove the old furnace, make any necessary adjustments to ductwork or gas lines, and install the new system to meet all manufacturer and safety standards. Once everything is connected, we test for proper airflow, functionality, and efficiency. Before we leave, we walk you through how to operate and care for your new system.

Why Choose Countryside Refrigeration & Heating

We bring years of experience and local knowledge to every furnace installation. Our team is fully licensed, NATE-certified, and committed to delivering work that lasts.

When Is the Right Time to Install?

If your current furnace is more than 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or can’t keep your home comfortable, it’s worth considering a new system. Scheduling a furnace installation before winter ensures your home stays warm without last-minute emergencies. Planning ahead gives you time to evaluate your options and take advantage of off-season promotions or rebate programs. We’re here to help you determine if now is the right time and walk you through the next steps.

Morrie and Sue B.

Zach helped us replace a 25 yr old furnace with a new Carrier unit. We are happy with how well our new furnace heats and maintains the temperature in our home. Zach and his installation crew were prompt, professional and easy to work with during the installation process.

Response from the owner: Thank you for the 5-star review!We are so glad you’re happy with your new Carrier furnace and the comfort it’s bringing to your home. Replacing a 25-year-old system is a big upgrade, and we’re thrilled it’s heating and maintaining temperature just as it should.We appreciate your kind words about Zach, Bruce and Sam being prompt, professional, and easy to work with is exactly what we strive for. We will be sure to let them know! Thank you for choosing Countryside!

Whitney Sargent

Our furnace cut out Sunday morning and we mistakenly called a different company who diagnosed the issue via photos (control board) only to tell us Monday morning that the part wouldn’t arrive until Wednesday. We called CRH and secured an appt with Josh between 12-2. Brenda called that Josh was available earlier at 10:30! At this point we were over 24 hours without heat, being yanked around by the other company, and rocking a chilly 58 in the house. Josh came and figured out immediately that it was NOT the control board and was a blown transformer. He got us up and running within the hour and before our scheduled day of time and well before Wednesday like the other company! Josh worked quickly, was professional, kind, took the time to explain the situation to me, and went out of his way! So grateful for quality companies that care about the community!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for sharing your experience!We’re sorry you had to go that long without heat, especially in those temperatures. We are so glad Josh was able to quickly diagnose the real issue and get your furnace up and running the same day. That is exactly why we believe in thorough, in-person diagnostics instead of guesswork.We will pass your kind words along to Josh and Brenda. Our team truly cares about taking care of our community, and it means a lot to hear that reflected in your experience.Thank you again for trusting Countryside! We are always here when you need us!

The team has been Awesome to work with. Zach had a very good product knowledge and was very professional. We installed a new furnace and will be doing the AC system in the Spring. We the install team arrived they were very courteous. My system also has a coil in the duct work. So, we had to do some modifications during install. The completely explain my options. I spent the last 25 years as the Chief Engineer for Mayo Clinic in Mankato Mn. I have a good eye for what a Great install looks like and these guys nailed it!!!!

Motor on furnace started making a terrible noise, and of course it was on the coldest night of the year so far. CRH came at 1am and got things working, thoroughly explained what the problem is and what the solution is. Incredibly happy with the service. I wish I could remember the techs name, regardless, he knew what he was doing, and did a great job.Update:Had all 3 motors on boiler furnace replaced. Very efficient install, was informed on progress throughout. Now my house is so quiet it's almost eerie. Very happy! Would definitely recommend CRH!!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and for an update, we truly appreciate it!We are glad Andrew was able to get out to your home at 1:00 AM on such a cold night and get things running again. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to Andrew, as well as to Nate and Sam for the efficient motor replacement and great communication during the install.It's great to hear that your system is now running quietly and that you are happy with the results. Thank you for trusting CRH and for recommending our team! We are always here when you need us!

In the early morning hours on Christmas Eve our furnace stopped working. As if a freezing house isn't bad enough, we had family visiting from down south who were by no means acclimated to our midwestern climate. I stopped into Countrysides North Mankato Location At 8am within 30 minutes Scott was at our home and quickly identified the primary problem. While investigating Scott also located an undersized capacitor that had had been robbing our system of amperage necessary to run properly. In the 7 years we have owned our home we have discussed replacing our furnace several times because it struggled to keep up and seemed to run constantly. Since having our furnace repaired by Countryside our home temperature has never been more comfortable. The charge for service was very reasonable especially considering that the repair was not scheduled and on Christmas Eve. Scott was knowledgeable, professional and efficient he left the repair area cleaner than it was when he arrived. The repair required a new blower motor and capacitor both of which Countryside had in stock! I work within the home repair industry and would definitely recommend the crew at Countryside to my friends and clients!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We are really glad we could help get your heat back on especially on Christmas Eve with family in town. That is never a fun situation, and we know how stressful it can be in those freezing temperatures.We did want to gently note that your technician was Tom, and we will be sure to pass along your kind words to him. He takes a lot of pride in his work, and he will truly appreciate hearing this. We are happy to hear the repair made such a noticeable difference in your home’s comfort and that everything was handled quickly, professionally, and cleanly.Thank you again for trusting Countryside and for recommending our team. We truly appreciate your support and are always here if you need us.

Kailey is a very nice girl and really seems to know furnaces in and out. I feel very confident on her ability to give my furnace the good seasonal once over. Every question I had was explained very nicely concerning the furnace and my outside AC unit. She’s worked on my furnace before and I was happy to see her again.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much DeVonna to take the time to leave us a review! We are glad to hear Kailey was able to answer all of your questions and to help keep your HVAC equipment to work efficiently.

Pat Roal

I called Countryside needing to make a decision whether to repair an existing aging furnace or to install a new one. I knew little to nothing of furnaces, however, Zak got me quickly up to speed. Amazingly prompt, efficient, and courteous, Zak prepared a printout of furnace choices appropriate to my home. Though I had an abundance of questions and much indecision, I was treated with respect and my concerns were addressed. As soon as my decision was made, Countryside was ready to install. The technicians were clearly knowledgeable, respectful, diversified in personality and were a fun, interesting group to interact with. They answered all questions and instructed me on the features of my new smart furnace. I love that they totally cleaned up after themselves. I found Countryside very relatable and flexible. And I am so happy with my new furnace!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We truly appreciate you trusting us with such an important decision. We are glad Zack was able to explain your options clearly and help you feel confident throughout the process. It’s also great to hear our installation team made the experience comfortable, answered your questions, and left everything clean and in order. We are so glad to hear you love your new furnace, and we appreciate the opportunity to work with you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything in the future.

Sue Newville

Josh was so very good. Both days he explained things to me that I could understand. He took his time, when he had questions he made phone calls to get someone else's advice. He got down to the bottom of my issue and fixed the problem. I would recommend countryside refrigeration and heating along with Josh to anyone.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for another 5-star review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience again! We are happy to hear Josh took great care of you, explained everything clearly, and made sure the issue was fully resolved. he is definitely committed to doing things the right way, and it means a lot to see that recognized.Thank you for your continued trust in Countryside and for recommending us.

Tom Gropel

Our technician was awesome. Very knowledgeable and made sure we were taken care of during our part replacement process.As a company, they had extremely prompt service from answering the phone, returning voice mails, ordering, and getting someone on site quickly. They even made sure if any parts were still under warranty they were covered. That's very important to me. I wouldn't have the slightest clue as the second owner of our house. I once had a car repair done that should have been under warranty and was told it's on the customer to know what's covered. Haven't been back there since.Here's to hoping I never see Countryside again for 20 years. 😉

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the fantastic review for all of us at Countryside! We are glad to hear our technician took great care of you and that our team kept everything moving quickly and smoothly. Checking warranty coverage is something we always do. No one should have to guess what is covered.Your last line is great… we hope you do not need to see us again for 20 years either! But if your system decides otherwise, we will be here and ready to help.

Barb Herz

I had a very positive experience with this company! The repair man (Andrew) was very friendly & helpful. He was great at explaining the issues with my furnance. I definitely would use this company again!
