Furnace Installation & Repair for the West Metro
Furnace repair, tune-ups, installs, heat pumps, and boilers for homes and light commercial spaces across Carver, Hennepin, Wright, and McLeod counties.
When a furnace struggles in a Minnesota winter, you feel it immediately—cold rooms, short cycling, odd noises, or a system that will not stay running. Full Time Heating & Cooling is a family-owned shop based in Watertown that prioritizes furnace repair before replacement. We diagnose the fault, explain the options, and only recommend a new system when the age and repair cost say so.
We serve homeowners and small businesses within about 20 miles of Watertown, including Chaska, Waconia, Victoria, Minnetonka, Delano, and dozens of nearby towns. Same-day openings depend on the schedule; emergency heating repair is available 24/7 by calling (952) 847-3387.
Furnace repair and maintenance
Most no-heat calls start with something fixable: a failed igniter, dirty flame sensor, clogged filter, bad capacitor, or a control board fault. Our technicians work on all major furnace brands and models. Every repair visit includes our Full Time Tune-Up checklist so we are not only patching one part—we are checking airflow, safety, and performance while we are already on site.
- All makes and models of residential furnaces
- Filter checks and airflow assessment
- Ignition, draft, and safety control inspection
- Clear pricing before parts go in
Signs you need furnace service
- Rooms that will not reach set temperature

Furnace installation and replacement
When replacement is the better investment, we size the system to the home—not to a one-size sales pitch. We walk through efficiency, duct condition, and budget. AirQuest is our preferred equipment line for many installs: practical features and solid value without forcing premium add-ons you may not need. We also install and service equipment from other major manufacturers when that is the right fit.
Heat pumps and boilers
Heat pump services
Heat pumps heat and cool with one outdoor unit. We install, repair, and maintain air-source systems, help with defrost and low-ambient performance questions, and explain when a heat pump pairs well with existing ductwork in West Metro homes.
Boiler services
Boiler work includes leak and pressure troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair or replacement guidance for homes that still use hydronic heat. We keep recommendations tied to what we find on inspection—not a script.
Heating maintenance program
Our HVAC Maintenance Program has no monthly membership fee. Members get priority scheduling, 15% off parts and labor, and reminders so fall furnace tune-ups do not slip. That is often cheaper than one mid-winter emergency.

Furnace and heating FAQs
Answers to questions West Metro homeowners search before they call a technician.
Cost depends on the part and labor time—igniters, flame sensors, and capacitors are common fixes; heat exchangers and blower motors cost more. We diagnose first and quote before work starts so you can decide with real numbers, not a guess from a phone script.
Once a year before heating season is the standard for most gas furnaces. A tune-up checks safety controls, ignition, airflow, and filters so weak parts show up before a January no-heat call.
We look at age, repair cost versus a new system, how often it has failed, and efficiency. If a solid repair still makes sense, we repair. We also offer a complimentary second opinion if another company already quoted a full replacement.
Common causes include a dirty filter, thermostat settings, a tripped limit switch, ignition failure, or a gas supply issue. If basic checks (filter, thermostat, breaker) do not fix it, stop and call—continued cycling can damage the unit.
