Minocqua
Air Conditioning
In 1993, only 68 percent of homes in the United States had air conditioning. By 2017 that number had jumped to 90 percent. Today, an air conditioner is a standard appliance in Wisconsin and as essential to most families as a car, a microwave, or a refrigerator.
Air conditioning units have made incredible leaps in technology and efficiency in the last few years, making installing and operating a Minocqua home or small office air conditioning unit incredibly affordable.
In 2010, the most common refrigerant used in small air conditioning units, R-22, was banned in the European Union (EU) and the United States as part of a phaseout of ozone-depleting chemicals. In preparation for the ban, the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry moved toward R-410A as the replacement for R-22.
The adoption of R-410A in home and small office air conditioners began a new era in high-efficiency air conditioning systems. Air conditioning units are more efficient, have a smaller footprint, and quieter than ever before.
Premier Heating & Cooling has been replacing older R-22 units with new R-410A equipment for years. Call our team at 715-453-4700 and we will help you find the right unit for your home. Request air conditioning service online today.
Air Ducts
Just like your water pipes, air ducts hidden above the ceiling can leak and cause major damage to your home. Instead of water, air ducts leak conditioned air in wall and ceiling spaces wasting energy and promoting mold growth in places you can’t see.
Unfortunately, our Premier Heating & Cooling experts find a lot of Minocqua homes with old, leaking ducts. Sometimes the duct systems have been leaking for years wasting thousands of dollars in energy costs.
The telltale signs of damaged ductwork are high utility bills, damps spots on the ceiling near vents, or noisy or whistling sounds coming from the walls. If you smell mold or other bad odors coming from your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, do not waste time thinking things will improve. Have one of our professionals check the air ducts system right away.
Old ducts can be brought back to life. Duct cleaning, resealing leaky joints, or replacing noisy sections of ductwork can restore efficiency and bring comfort back to your Wisconsin home. Call us at 715-453-4700, as we can propose the right solutions to fix noisy and inefficient duct systems. Request air duct service online today.
Boilers
Clank! Clank! Clank! After banging on the pipes for hours, Dad emerges from the basement, face covered in soot, and announces the boiler is dead. It is a scene from the movies we have all seen. But a lot of families in Wisconsin go through that every winter. If it happens to you, our boiler professionals at Premier Heating & Cooling are ready to help.
We do not want you to have a middle-of-winter emergency. Our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) team wants you to be confident your boiler will not only get through this winter, but work efficiently for many Minocqua winters to come.
With a boiler maintenance agreement plan, we will tune your boiler each winter, perform routine preventative maintenance, and help shut it down when the season ends.
Properly maintained boilers can last as long as 20 years. Call us at 715-453-4700, as we are here to see you through the full life of your boiler and help you replace it when the time comes. Request boiler service online today.
Ductless Systems
The era of ultra-high efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units is here. Ductless systems are small, wall-mounted, single-zone heating and air units with cooling Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings near 30 compared to standard units with a typical SEER around 18. It is not uncommon in Wisconsin for homeowners to see substantial savings in their energy bills the first month after installation of a mini split system.
Mini split units solve multiple problems at once. High efficiency makes a ductless system an outstanding replacement for an older HVAC unit. The ability to connect multiple ductless units to one condensing unit creates a zone control system, bringing high efficiency to multiple rooms. These systems offer extra benefits for your Minocqua home and can save you money overall.
Is your home right for a new ductless system? One call to Premier Heating & Cooling at 715-453-4700 and we can survey your home to see which ductless system will serve you best. Request ductless system service online today.
Furnaces
The last 10 years have seen incredible advancements in home-heating technology. The standard efficiency home furnace installed in most houses in Wisconsin is becoming obsolete. In its place is an impressive lineup of gas furnaces that do everything from make instant hot water, warm radiant floors, and feed radiator systems.
This new supply of gas heater is more compact and more efficient than ever. In addition to our fast furnace repair, replacing an older gas furnace with a new, 95 percent efficient condensing furnace is one of Premier Heating & Cooling’s most common heating equipment calls.
A condensing furnace achieves high efficiency by using the hot combustion gasses, or flue gas, to add an additional stage of heating to the water. Extracting more heat from the flue gas causes the gas to condense in the furnace, creating cooler flue gases that can be vented with PVC pipe instead of expensive double wall flue pipes. Minocqua homeowners realize immediate savings on their gas bills with a condensing furnace.
If you have an old electric furnace, call 715-453-4700 . We can work together to install a new high-efficiency furnace. Request furnace service online today.

Indoor Air Quality
Do you find yourself feeling tired all the time? Are you suffering from allergies, asthma, or constant respiratory distress? Although these things can originate from many different sources, poor indoor air quality is a possibility.
Our team at Premier Heating & Cooling here in Minocqua wants to help you ensure a healthy home. We will come out and test the air quality in your Wisconsin home. If they find any issues, they can provide remediation services to help you improve it.
Everyone has dust and dust mites in their home as well as some level of chemicals released from carpeting, cleaning supplies, and other household substances. In addition, if you have pets, you will generate more hair and dander. Smoking also adds particulates to the air. All of these things can contribute to an indoor air quality problem.
Testing of indoor air quality is something we do every day. If we find issues, our experienced professionals might recommend remediation such as air duct cleaning or replacing your air filters in your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. A wide variety of air filtration and air purification systems are available on the market today as well, which can help improve your indoor air quality.

Maintenance
Everything has its season, and your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is no different. Your furnace puts in overtime during the chilly winters while taking a rest in the summer, and your air conditioning unit works on the opposite schedule in Wisconsin. Our team at Premier Heating & Cooling recommends that right before your furnace or air conditioner goes into high gear you schedule an HVAC maintenance service call.
Our trained professionals will conduct a complete inspection and cleaning of your HVAC system. Talk with us about our multipoint inspection.

Radiant Floors
If you are tired of hot and cold spots in your home, you may want to consider investing in radiant floor heating. Since this heating system is installed under your flooring, it tends to provide very even heat throughout your Wisconsin home.
Radiant floor heating tends to be associated with high-end luxurious homes, but this system can be added to most Minocqua homes and works with any type of flooring. Although installation costs can be high and you are likely to experience some disruption during a lengthy installation process, radiant floor heating can be a great way to save energy in the long run.
Our professionals at Premier Heating & Cooling can tell you the electrical- or water-based radiant flooring system only needs to be heated to 84 degrees. When you compare that to the 150 degrees that an old-fashioned furnace must reach, you can see why you save energy and money.
In addition to greater energy efficiency, radiant floor heating eliminates things like vents, air ducts, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. That lends itself to more creative interior design possibilities. Once installed, radiant floor heating is easy to care for, safe, and simple to operate.
When you are ready to learn more, contact Premier Heating & Cooling at 715-453-4700. Our trained team has a great deal of information about different offerings, pros and cons, installation, and costs. Request radiant floor heating service online today.
Whole-House Dehumidifiers
While you may not think twice about maintaining or updating your heating and cooling system, a quality heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system does not have to simply be a traditional setup. In Wisconsin, it is worth looking into different systems and services that work with your HVAC system in order to provide a more pleasant home for all concerned. One of the best add-on options available today is a whole-house dehumidifier system.
These handy units do one thing well: they pull the extra moisture out of your home. However, this has a lot more benefits than you might think.
