Krinkie's Heating, Air Conditioning and Plumbing

Scott M.

I was unable to relight the pilot light on our boiler after it went out. Our neighbor's had recently had a good experience with Krinkie's so I gave them a call. Paul N. came by later that day and diagnosed a bad gas control valve. An hour later, our boiler was back in working condition and heating the house.

Paul was personable, knowledgeable, and professional.

I initially loved these guys, but then noticed a pattern of always finding way more problematic and expensive things to fix beyond what they were called for. Last straw was fixing the AC by an extensive and expensive duct work addition, which did exactly NOTHING. Plus they left a dusty mess everywhere. So then they told me I needed to replace entire unit for 12k++. Except the guy I called for a second bid washed the outdoor condenser unit free of grass and dust and 18 mos later still working perfectly. I loved the tech super nice but COME ON!!

I've known Krinkie's since high school. My family has used them for years. My dad (turning 100 in Sept.) still remembers Paul Nelson by name and always recommends him. Yesterday, with over 100 heat index, a mouse decided to chew through our AC wires. Fortunately, they were able to come out today, fixed it, cleaned it up, lubed, checked it over and the ten-year-old TRANE is working better than ever.

This is a company you can trust. Honest, (he said, this is a great unit, no need to replace it), knowledgeable - Paul has been with Krinkie for over 30 years now), and personable.

Highly recommended. Oh, and I signed up for their twice-a-year Furnace and AC check. Brought the service call price down and helps with future repairs if needed. Oh, and check for a service call with service coupon on their web site.

These guys are crooks.

We had a furnace issue, which they promptly and efficiently repaired. They looked at our system however, and determined that a pan that catches condensation for our AC unit had completely corroded away, and we had to replace our entire furnace and A/C system. They quoted us at $12,500 and gave pushed us into signing that day.

Thanks to Minnesota law, we exercised our right to back out within three days and got other quotes. Thankfully, we received one on a comparable unit that was SEVERAL thousand dollars cheaper. When they came to install the new unit, they informed us that a hose was plugged, and that the condensation pan was made of plastic and entirely intact. We have now made a multi-thousand investment in our home that could have waited at least another couple years or two.

Be careful with Krinkie's, be prepared for a high-pressure push for something that may not even need to be replaced. My wife and I will most assuredly avoid using them at all costs.

I've used Krinkie's for years, purchased both a furnace and air conditioner through them at my condo, and continued to have superstar technician, Joe D., service the units when I moved into my house. Joe, and the company, are always honest, fair, and friendly, and Joe has become like a member of the family. I've recommended Krinkie's (and Joe) to other friends who were so appreciative of the honest feedback and expertise that kept their units working efficiently while still respecting budgets. I will continue to use Krinkie's (specifically Joe) for all my heating, air conditioning (and now Plumbing!) needs. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would.

Excellent response time and service. Our humidifier system was installed by Owens Heating and AC but I would never recommend that firm. Very expensive and not good at servicing or supporting the equipment they install. In desperation I reached out to Joe based on a neighborhood site endorsement, and he came through promptly and correctly. Frankly, the system wasn't working right until now.

Tech arrived to house within 2 hours of calling and making appointment. Quick and fast service. Very friendly and helpful. Explained everything thoroughly. Will definitely use Krinkies again for futures issues with HVAC!!!!!!!

Guy was professional, got the fix done in a reasonable amount of time. My 3 stars is more a factor of how bummed I am to have a write a big check for fixing my furnace - just the reality of having this job done I guess. Arggg!

Chuck U.

Friendly, professional. Explained what they were doing. Punctual, and cleaned up the area when done. Appreciated the great job they did.

Dan,
Thank you for visit today. We hadn't planned for our air to go out, it was just a fluke that our scheduled maintenance was for today. Our problem was diagnosed quickly and had the part delivered in short order. Dans friendly attitude made the whole process less stressful. Thank Goodness we are on their service plan. I would recommend their service to anyone.
