Furnace Replacement in Richfield, MN — Hennepin County South Minneapolis Heating

Richfield is one of the Twin Cities' oldest inner-ring suburbs, nestled between Minneapolis, Bloomington, and Edina. With a housing stock dominated by post-WWII construction—bungalows, ramblers, and small two-stories from the 1940s–1960s—Richfield has one of the highest concentrations of aging heating systems in the metro.

Richfield's Heating Challenge

Older Richfield homes typically have less insulation than newer suburban builds, higher air infiltration rates, and smaller floor plans (900–1,600 sq ft) that still require proper BTU sizing. Many homes are on their second or third furnace. The good news: smaller homes mean lower-cost furnace units—often 60,000–80,000 BTU systems suffice.
