    Anyone have a furnace repair service they like in the twin cities on the east side?

    I'm 99% sure the solenoid died (which is crazy because solenoids are usually rated for like a half-million cycles). Anyways, I'd rather hire a service with scruples because I don't want my furnace red-tagged by some shady POS.

      Super Heating and Cooling out of Blaine, owned by John Super. He installed my entire HVAC system, and he didn’t even make a move to screw me over the way the big name players tried to do. He’s also very experienced, in his 60s, I think, and knows how to actually troubleshoot systems using the older methods that the young guys don’t seem to learn anymore - the computers can only take you so far. He solved my A/C issue this past summer in about 15 minutes. One of the big names was out here with their tech in his early 20s, and that young guy tried, but didn’t know to check the pressure during some XYZ process. That young guy’s company was going to charge some giant amount of money for the “advanced team” to do another system check. Again, John found the issue in about 15 minutes, had it all fixed in under an hour.

        It’s definitely smart to look for a furnace repair service with a solid reputation. I’d recommend checking reviews online to see what other customers are saying about services in the area. Look for companies that emphasize honesty and transparency in their work. When you call, you could ask upfront about their process for diagnosing and repairing issues, and whether they’ll explain everything clearly before doing any work. I’d recommend checking out cabinets to go. They offer great options for kitchen or bathroom remodels, with quality cabinets at competitive prices. It’s always nice to have a reliable option for home upgrades while keeping things running smoothly at home.

          Solenoid on a furnace? Solenoid on an oil pump are known weak spots but you must be natty gas. Is it a zone valve?

            Yeah, they're the main shutoff valve. All natural gas furnaces have them assuming all furnaces have simple open/close valves and aren't modulating.

            Anyways, solenoids are extremely simple devices and I have never seen the actual coil on one fail despite installing probably 500-1,000 of them at work. Usually it's some other part of the valve that fails. But not in this case. The coil was just not going to budge the valve.

              My friend, who is a roofer, insists that if I apply a silicone roof system—starting with a primer layer, followed by a layer of silicone coating, and repeating the process a second time—it will be flexible enough and durable for a long time. He’s confident that this method would waterproof a planked deck and keep it water-tight for many years. I plan to check with Saratoga roofing co https://saratogaroofingco.com/ as well, since they did our roof repairs last time, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this
