Furnace replacement usually makes more sense if your existing unit is 15+ years old, has had frequent and costly repairs, your energy bills are rising unexpectedly, or your home never quite reaches an even temperature. If you’re on the fence, our team will evaluate your system and give you a clear estimate of repair versus replacement costs. We also offer financing options to make a new furnace easier to budget for.

If your furnace or boiler stops working in cold weather:

• Inspect your thermostat settings and ensure it has power
• Check your circuit breakers to see if they’ve tripped
• Make sure your air filters are clean to allow proper airflow
• Look for any visible damage or leaks in your system
• If your heating system still isn’t working, don’t risk a cold home or frozen pipes

If your furnace still won’t run, don’t wait out a cold house or risk frozen pipes. Contact Schroeder’s for 24/7 emergency furnace repair in Brainerd and surrounding areas.

Yes. Schroeder’s installs and services commercial boilers and furnaces for businesses throughout Central Minnesota. Our commercial technicians bring the same decades of hands-on experience we apply to residential jobs to keep operations warm and energy-efficient all winter long.

Routine furnace maintenance catches small issues, like a dirty filter or a thermostat drifting out of calibration, before they turn into a breakdown at the worst possible time. Members of our maintenance plan receive a seasonal check before winter hits, which includes inspecting for gas leaks or carbon monoxide risk, testing airflow, and cleaning key components. They’ll also get priority scheduling and discounted repairs on top of that peace of mind.

Most furnaces perform best with one professional tune-up a year. The best time to schedule is early fall, before cold weather hits. A tune-up catches worn parts, dirty components, and airflow problems before they become an emergency. Our maintenance membership builds this into your yearly routine automatically, along with priority service if something does go wrong.

First, check that your thermostat has power and your circuit breakers haven’t tripped, and look for any obvious leaks around the unit. Boilers that won’t restart on their own usually need a technician, especially in freezing weather, when delaying risks frozen pipes.

We repair boilers and furnaces of all ages, types, and sizes. Our technicians regularly work on aging boiler systems as well as newer, higher-efficiency models, so an older unit doesn’t rule out a repair over a costly replacement. If replacement turns out to be the better option, we offer financing plans to help make it manageable.
