Heating Services in Eagan, MN

Same-Day Furnace, Boiler & Heat Pump Repairs in Eagan

Once Minnesota’s harsh winters hit, with temperatures dropping below zero and blizzards becoming the norm, you will need reliable heating in your home. Having working heating in Eagan is about comfort, but it’s also a necessity. At Dean’s Home Services, we know that families require consistent heating during the colder months, so we specialize in all heating services in Eagan. If you’re dealing with an aging, inefficient furnace and need an upgrade or maintenance on a current system, we’ve got you covered. 

Keeping Eagan Residents Warm Since 1996

Dean’s Home Services has been the trusted heating company in Eagan that families have turned to for reliable, professional heating solutions since the mid ‘90s. We have weathered the brutal Minnesota winters, providing emergency repairs during blizzards, installing energy-efficient systems, and performing routine heater maintenance. 

We know how the region’s temperature swings, humidity levels, and seasonal demands affect different types of heating systems. Minnesota’s sub-zero temperatures can cause ice buildup on outdoor heat pump units, reducing efficiency or causing complete shutdown. 

Extended cold snaps that reach below -10°F also force heating systems to run continuously, leading to wear and higher energy bills. Cold drafts and the wind can extinguish pilot lights on older furnaces, meaning frequent relighting during winter storms.

Our Expert Heating Solutions in Eagan

Dean’s Home Services offers a complete range of heating services in Eagan designed to meet every aspect of your home’s heating needs. From emergency repairs that get your system running again quickly to planned heating replacements in Eagan that improve your home’s efficiency and comfort. Our heating services include: 

Check out this list of things homeowners can do improve energy efficiency: 

  • Change your air filter: Replace monthly during the colder months.
  • Adjust your thermostat: Lower by 7-10°F when away or sleeping. Each degree saves about 10% on heating costs. 
  • Seal air leaks: Use caulk or weatherstripping around windows, doors, and gaps. Focus on areas where you feel drafts.
  • Close vents in unused rooms: Redirect heated air to spaces you actually use.

Which Type of Heating System is Best? 

Choosing the best type of heating system for your home depends on a number of factors, and Dean’s will be with you every step of the way.  

  • Size and layout of your home: Does your current heating setup do a good job and just need to be replaced, or do you still notice a chill in your home? An improperly sized system can cause short cycles and drafts. With every heater replacement, Dean’s will perform a load calculation for proper sizing.  
  • Energy efficiency: Are you looking for a highly efficient system? For example, heat pumps are more efficient than furnaces and boilers, but come with a higher upfront cost. 
  • Cost: The average cost to heat a home in the United States is expected to spike 10.5% this winter, according to a report from the National Energy Assistance Directors Association. 
  • Technology: Are you looking to control this new system remotely? Some units come with smart control options through an app. 

Heat Pump: Pros and Cons

Heat pumps have lower annual energy costs than electric furnaces, gas furnaces and boiler systems, making them increasingly popular. 

Pros

  • Extremely energy efficient with lower operating costs.
  • Provide both heating and cooling.

Cons

  • Higher upfront costs with heat pump installation.
  • They can stop working effectively in subfreezing temperatures, leading to premature heat pump repair needs.

Furnace: Pros and Cons

Gas or electric furnaces are among the most common heating sources. Traditional gas furnaces remain popular for their reliability and relatively low installation costs. 

Pros

  • Lower upfront costs.
  • Fast heating response and reliable in all climates.

Cons

  • Higher operating costs and shorter lifespan than some alternatives.
  • Gas requires a natural gas connection.

Boilers: Pros and Cons

Boiler heating systems use hot water or steam to distribute heat throughout your home, offering several compelling advantages over furnaces.

Pros

  • Consistent heat distribution with better indoor air quality than some alternatives.
  • Long lifespan — up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance.

Cons

  • Take longer to heat up (30-60 mins).
  • They are water-based systems (radiators, radiant flooring) and can leak and freeze.

Customer Satisfaction is our #1 Priority What Dean’s Customers are saying
I recently bought a new house and quite a few things needed upgrading / replacing. Deans has done fantastic work on all these things. Scheduling is fast and easy. They are able to come out quickly to assess it and give an estimate. And they can quickly schedule the service. All the technicians have been fantastic. Friendly, and quick and efficient. I am so glad I am a member and I will recommend Deans to anyone. Mark B.
Matthew came for a general plumbing inspection. He was friendly and polite and even a little bit early for his appointment. That is a wonderful thing. He checked all the toilets and sinks, the water heater and water softener. All the while explaining what he was doing. He had some ideas on a few repairs but wasn't an alarmist about it. Things that just had to be done, sooner than later, but not immediately. The Dean's club membership is definitely worth it. Susan M.
Eric B was awesome and informative. Today he came and gave us a rundown of our new homes air ventilation and Furnace/AC systems so we are all ready for winter and beyond. We had Dean's install a new furnace, ac and water heater at our previous home and they did such a wonderful job and so easy to work with we will only use them from now on. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. Jayme K.
I had Dean's come out a couple times for different services. Once to install venting for a bath fan and once for service for my furnace. There were no surprises in pricing and service was quick. Sam was the tech both times and he did a great job for both jobs. For the furnace, he diagnosed the issue within minutes of starting the work and got it up and running quickly. They had all the parts in the truck already. As far as the appointment, I requested service online, had a call back within 15 min and the tech was in my driveway an hour later. I would highly recommend Dean's. Dan P.
Of the several electricians I contacted, Dean's offered by far the quickest dispatch time, which is great because my thermostat broke and wouldn't start my A/C at all. Given that temperatures are supposed to reach 98 degrees tomorrow, time was of the essence. Thankfully, Dean's had someone out within an hour. I worked with Seth, who was professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He ran a 'C' wire to our new smart thermostat and got it installed in about an hour at a reasonable price. I will definitely recommend Dean's to anyone who needs an electrician. Michael Y.
