Consider Adding Solar in Austin

A lot has changed in the world since 1972. From smart thermostats and efficient lighting to EV chargers and solar panels, today’s homes have more ways to manage energy use than ever.

In the same vein, public access to solar energy has become more affordable over the years. We’re here to lessen your reliance on the grid in South Central Minnesota.

If you are looking for a way to lower your home’s utility costs, consider looking into solar energy. Since solar energy is a clean energy generated by sunlight, it’s better for the environment and can even net you savings, such as energy credits for excess energy or a 30% tax credit for solar installations.

We offer the following solar power services in Austin :

  • Solar Panel Installation
  • Solar Panel Replacement
  • Solar Panel Repair
  • Solar Panel Maintenance

    Was in a pinch in the middle of summer, needed quick help and not only got a quick and affordable solution, but the fella that came out to help gave me advice that has saved me a lot of time and money. Can’t say enough good things about this crew. Thanks guys!

  • Furnace Technicians That Go Above and Beyond
    Highly impressed with this company. Came out immediately after having concerns about a furnace installation. Found no issues and sealed up the return vent for me! Then they also saw my dryer vent was clogged and cleaned it out on the spot, free of charge! This is highly appreciated and would recommend them to anyone needing their services. Customer satisfied
    Erika Bure
  • Stocked Trucks to Get Your AC Back Quickly
    Highly recommend contacting Greenmans for all of your heating and cooling needs! Jarrett and Noah were extremely helpful with getting our AC back on quickly. They had the parts on hand & had our AC turned back on same day! Noah looked over our furnace and AC to make sure everything runs smoothly going forward. Thanks for the help guys!
    Krystle Hutchinson
  • Friendly Customer Service and Solar Rebate Assistance
    Steve and his staff did a fantastic job replacing our faulty furnace. From the friendliest of voices on the telephone to walking us through our options to replace our equipment, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The crew was always on time, on task, and professional. We were given a couple different options from Steve on units that would work for our 1 1/2 story home. He also made sure we had rebate information to file to get back a bit of our investment. We are beyond happy with our experience, start to finish, and highly recommend Greenman.

  • Fair Pricing and Same-day AC Service
    I first had Greenman Heating fix our air conditioner, it was done the same day. They then installed a furnace for me. They gave me a quote that was fair. Installation took place in one day with no added costs. They recently repaired my water heater. Great People with Great Service keeps me going back time after time.

  • From First Call to Fixed AC in No Time
    Our AC quit working. I called Cheryl at the main office who answered the phone right away, took my info, and called me back in 30 minutes to coordinate the technician to be there in 45 minutes! When I got home Noah was waiting for me and already had the cover off the AC unit diagnosing the issue. He found the capacitor was bad and had it replaced in 15 minutes. From the time I called to the time they had it fixed was less than two hours. BEST SEVICE I have EVER gotten in Austin MN. I would recommend Greenman's to anyone that that needs heating or refrigeration equipment or work done!!! Can't say enough good things about them!!!!!

    We have always been very pleased with the prompt and courteous service Greenman's Heating Refrigeration has provided, from both their office staff and service technicians. James has been our service technician who arrives with a smile and a personable attitude. He has worked on our furnace, fireplace, and air conditioning units, as needed, over the years. We highly recommend Greenman Heating and Refrigeration services.

Gadget Answers Your Questions

In what way does your company go above and beyond during service calls?

We aren’t looking to give you a quick fix when it comes to your ac repair in Austin . We perform full system checks to make sure your electrical or HVAC repair lasts. We also do post-repair checks and make sure that we clean up any mess made during the repair, so your home looks as good as we found it.

Are you licensed to provide electrical repairs in Austin ?

We are! Our professional electricians are qualified to work on everything from home rewiring to new panel installations. Whether you have flickering lights or want to go green with an EV charger in Austin , we’re here for you.

How do I know whether to repair or replace my HVAC system?

Deciding between a full ac replacement or a repair in Austin can be a daunting decision. But it typically comes down to two factors: age and breakdown frequency. A system that is having frequent breakdowns or is over 10 years old is at the end of its lifespan. If you aren’t sure if a fix is the right move, you can always have Green Man do an HVAC inspection.

Can solar really help reduce energy costs in Minnesota?

Yes, solar is a great way to save on your energy bills in Albert Lea and Austin . In addition to reducing your reliance on the electric grid, it gives you access to federal tax credits and utility rebates. Several homeowners also choose to enroll in energy metering programs that credit them for excess energy they generate.

How often should I schedule maintenance for my heating and cooling system?

Green Man recommends two tune-ups a year. Once before spring for your AC and again before fall for your furnace. This confirms each system is working properly and can extend overall equipment life.

What's your dispatch fee?

It's $195 for repairs. This will be rolled into the total cost if you move forward with the repair. That way, you’re not paying separately for diagnosis. All new HVAC system quotes are complimentary.

What happens after I request service?

When you call Green Man, we’ll ask a few questions and then book your appointment for HVAC or electrical service. After inspecting the issue, we’ll provide a quote.

Is solar right for my home in South Central Minnesota?

Solar may be a good fit if your home gets steady sunlight and you want to lower long-term energy costs. We’ll help you decide whether solar makes sense. All solar estimates come at no cost, so there’s no harm in having us take a look.
