Furnace Problems in Wayzata Don't Wait for Business Hours

A furnace that stops heating at 10 PM in a Minnesota winter isn't a morning problem. It's a now problem. Full Time offers 24/7 emergency HVAC service to Wayzata homeowners, with no extra runaround. We give you a two-hour arrival window, send a confirmation, and text you when your tech is on the way with a photo so you know who to expect. Older homes near the Wayzata Bay area sometimes run on equipment that's 15 or 20 years old. We're not going to walk in and tell you to replace it without checking whether a repair makes sense first.

A Trusted Handoff from Absolute Heating & Cooling

For years, Bob Barrett ran Absolute Heating & Cooling out of Wayzata on a simple rule: fix a furnace or an air conditioner when it can be fixed, rather than pushing a replacement the homeowner doesn't need. That approach earned him a loyal following across Wayzata and the Orono side of the lake.

When Bob retired, he handed his customers to Jason and Full Time Heating and Cooling, because Full Time works the same way — repair first, with replacement on the table only when the numbers genuinely stop favoring a fix. If another company has already told you your system needs replacing, our free second opinion is the same kind of diagnostic Bob would have run. Bob also transferred his longtime Absolute Heating & Cooling phone number to Full Time, so the people who had relied on him for years would still know who to call.

That trust has carried over. Full Time has now completed more than 45 service calls in Wayzata for homeowners who first came to us through Bob or Absolute Heating & Cooling.

Were you an Absolute Heating & Cooling customer? Call Full Time at (952) 847-3387, or keep using Bob's longtime number, (952) 473-5808. Both reach Full Time Heating and Cooling.

What Full Time Does Differently for Wayzata Homeowners

Details below
A few things set us apart from the larger HVAC outfits serving the Lake Minnetonka area.

Technicians Not on Commission

Our techs don't earn more if they recommend a new system. That means the diagnosis you get is based on what your equipment actually needs, not what moves inventory. We'll tell you if your furnace can be fixed before we talk about replacing it.

Same Installation Crew Every Time

Every installation job uses the same experienced two-person crew. Not whoever's available that day. On qualifying jobs, Jason stops by personally to inspect the work before we call it done. That level of accountability isn't common in this market.

AirQuest Elite Dealer Warranty

We install AirQuest equipment, and as an Elite Dealer, we can add two years of No Hassle Replacement coverage on top of the standard manufacturer warranty. Many systems qualify for a 10-year parts warranty with registration. Solid protection without paying for a brand name you've seen on a billboard.

Repair-First, Every Time

We won't recommend replacement until repair stops making financial sense. If your system is repairable, we'll fix it. That's the policy, not a marketing line. Wayzata homeowners who've been quoted a full replacement elsewhere are welcome to get a free second opinion from us.

AC Repair in Wayzata When Summer Heat Hits Lake Country

Wayzata summers along the lake bring humidity and heat that push residential AC systems hard. When your air conditioner stops cooling or starts short-cycling, waiting a few days isn't a good plan if you've got kids or elderly family members at home. Our air conditioner repair service covers diagnostic work, refrigerant issues, capacitor and contactor failures, and most common mechanical problems. We carry parts for a wide range of makes and models, and most repairs are handled in a single visit. If your system is old enough that the repair cost doesn't pencil out, we'll tell you that plainly and explain your options without pressure.

Indoor Air Quality Matters More in Sealed-Up Lake Homes

Many of the older homes in the Wayzata area were built for three-season living and later converted or expanded. Tight sealing is great for energy efficiency, but it traps dust, allergens, and humidity inside. Minnesota winters already run dry, and a home without a working humidifier can drop to uncomfortable and damaging humidity levels fast. Our indoor air quality solutions include whole-home filtration, air purification, and humidifier installation and service. If your HVAC maintenance is current but your family is still dealing with dry air or allergy symptoms indoors, a filtration or humidity upgrade is worth looking at before next winter.

Ductless Options for Wayzata Additions and Spaces Without Ductwork

Wayzata has a mix of older cottages, lake-view additions, and detached garages that homeowners want to condition but can't practically run duct to. A ductless mini split handles those spaces efficiently and without the cost or disruption of adding ductwork. We install and service ductless systems throughout the Wayzata area. If you're finishing a basement, adding a sunroom, or trying to keep a detached garage livable year-round, a mini split is usually the right answer. We'll size it correctly for the space and install it clean.

FAQ Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers below
How fast can Full Time get to a Wayzata home for an emergency furnace call? +
Most of the time we can reach Wayzata within two hours of your call, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Wayzata is about 30 minutes from our Watertown base under normal conditions. We give you a real arrival window when you call, not a vague 'sometime today' answer. You'll also get a text when your technician is on the way, with a photo so you know who's at the door.
I was a customer of Absolute Heating & Cooling in Wayzata. Can Full Time take over my system? +
Yes. When Bob Barrett retired from Absolute Heating & Cooling, he handed his Wayzata and Orono customers to Full Time, and his longtime number, (952) 473-5808, now reaches us as well. Call or text that number or (952) 847-3387 and let us know you were an Absolute customer. It helps to mention the equipment you have if you know it.
Do you repair older furnaces in the historic homes and cottages near Wayzata Bay? +
Yes. Some of the older properties along the lake run on equipment that's 15 to 20 years old or more. We don't walk in assuming age means replacement. If the system is repairable and the cost makes sense, we fix it. We carry parts for a wide range of makes and models and can usually source anything we don't have on the truck quickly. Our job is to give you an honest read on what's worth fixing.
My Wayzata home has rooms that don't heat or cool evenly. What's the solution? +
Uneven temperatures in Wayzata homes usually come down to a few things: duct leaks, undersized or oversized equipment, or spaces that were added after the original system was designed. A zone system can help balance comfort across floors or additions. For spaces without ductwork entirely, a ductless mini split is usually the cleaner fix. We'll diagnose before recommending anything.
Will you recommend replacing my AC in Wayzata if it's still repairable? +
No. That's actually our hardest policy. Our technicians don't earn commission on equipment sales, so there's no financial reason for us to push replacement when a repair does the job. If your system needs a $300 repair and has several good years left, we'll say so. If the repair cost is creeping toward what a new system would run, we'll be honest about that math too and let you decide.
Do you handle gas fireplace service in the Wayzata area? +
We do. Gas fireplace repair and cleaning is one of the services a lot of HVAC companies in this market skip, but it's something we've built into our offerings because the demand is real. If your fireplace won't ignite, the flame looks wrong, or it hasn't been cleaned in a few seasons, give us a call. This is especially worth doing before the start of the heating season if you rely on it for supplemental warmth in the winter months around Lake Minnetonka.
What does an HVAC service call in Wayzata actually include? +
When we come out for a diagnostic call, we're looking for the actual cause of the problem, not the first thing that could explain the symptom. We test, we measure, and we give you a clear explanation of what we found before any repair work starts. If the repair is straightforward, we often handle it the same visit. If parts are needed, we'll tell you the timeline. You'll never be surprised by a bill for work we didn't explain first.

Our promise

If we can repair it, we will.
