The method has not changed since. Whether he is tracking down a failing heat exchanger in a Watertown farmhouse, cleaning a gas fireplace burner before the first cold snap, or walking a homeowner through a heating system replacement, the question is always what the system actually needs, not what brings in the most revenue.

The story
Why Jason started Full Time
Jason spent years as a lead technician at Precision Heating and Cooling. He built his work around one idea: find the real fault, explain it in plain language, and fix it when a fix makes sense. When that company changed hands and moved away from that approach, he started Full Time Heating & Cooling instead of working a way he did not believe in.
How a service call actually goes
Four steps from the first text to a working system. No four hour arrival windows, no wondering whether anyone is coming.
- 01 1
Text ahead, on time
Before a technician heads your way, you get a text with their photo and live location tracking. You know who is arriving and when.
- 02 2
Find the real fault
Every visit starts by testing the system and finding what actually failed, not by pricing a replacement.
- 03 3
Explain it in plain language
You hear what is wrong, what it costs, and what your options are. No manufactured urgency, no upsell you did not ask for.
- 04 4
Fix it, or say why not
If a repair makes sense we do it, often the same visit. Replacement only comes up when the numbers stop favoring a fix, and we show you why.

What homeowners say
More than 200 five star reviews across Watertown, Chaska, Victoria, and the West Metro.
Honest, prompt, thorough, fair priced, and gives very good and generous advice. Jason helped me out of a tough spot getting our gas line operational again, and gave me very good advice about our entire heating and cooling system. You could not ask for more from a Heating and Cooling contractor.

Jason was amazing. It was late at night on the weekend, our AC had blown a capacitor, he was at our home the next morning and had it solved in minutes. Honest, knowledgeable, and available when we really needed help.

Our gas fireplace would not turn on. Jason found the problem and had it running in no time, cleaned it while he was here, and gave us a 30 minute heads up before arriving. Very professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns Full Time Heating & Cooling? +
Jason. He spent years as a lead technician at Precision Heating and Cooling, and when that company changed hands and moved away from the personal, repair first approach he believed in, he started Full Time. He still runs the crew and inspects the work.
What does repair first actually mean in practice? +
Our technicians are not paid on commission and carry no sales quota. Every call starts with finding the real fault rather than pricing a replacement. If a repair makes sense, we recommend the repair. Replacement only comes up when the cost of fixing the system no longer favors it, and we explain why in plain language.
What kinds of work does Full Time handle? +
Furnace repair and installation, air conditioning, gas fireplace service, indoor air quality equipment, ductless mini splits, and commercial HVAC for homeowners and small businesses across Carver, Hennepin, Wright, and McLeod counties.
Do you charge for a second opinion on a repair or replacement quote? +
No. If another company has quoted you a repair or a new system and you are not sure about it, we will look at the same equipment and tell you honestly what we would do. There is no commission pressure on our side, so the answer you get is the real one.
I was a customer of Absolute Heating & Cooling. Can you take over my system? +
Yes. When Bob Barrett retired from Absolute Heating & Cooling, he handed his customers to Full Time, and his longtime number reaches us as well. The full story and both numbers to call are on our Wayzata service page.
Is Full Time licensed and insured? +
Yes. Minnesota HVAC contractor license MB792165, fully insured, based at 757 Hawthorne Lane in Watertown.
