The best service call experience I've ever had.
Very responsive: made time to help me with a boiler that woundnt light when no one else had availability for days.
Excellent communication: scheduling person was awesome and followed up with more exact times: not your typical ”betweem 10am and 5pm” arrival window. The technician showed up exactly on time too.
Knowledgeable, professional, ethical and went above and beyond: service was fast and effective, didn't charge me as much as he could have even based on their very reasonable rates.

I contacted Hinding for a boiler repair service scheduled on 10/22/19 at 10am. The technician arrived an hour late, smelled like alcohol, and proceeded to service my boiler. At the time of the service, the technician noted that the boiler was emitting 500ppu of carbon monoxide out of the vent, but registered 0ppu of carbon monoxide emissions from the unit. The technician kept the unit on, although the maximum allotted emissions for a unit is supposed to be 400ppu. The technician suggested replacing the unit, and quoted the replacement and service of a new boiler at ~$9,000. I asked the technician

Called for furnace repair yesterday (Sunday) and my call was promptly returned early this morning and a technician was out to my house soon after. The problem was diagnosed quickly, the technician had the necessary parts and within a half hour my furnace was blowing warm air again. The technician didn't waste any time getting the job done, which was probably why the bill was much lower than I anticipated it would be. I would definitely trust Hinding again for any future heating/AC issues.

Had them out a couple years ago for a small fix and were happy. Called today and they said they are only seeing old customers. She couldn't find us in her "system" which I'm guessing is just a bunch of stuff written on napkins and lunch bags and filed away in a box. Thanks for nothing, Hinding! The gal who answers the phone is a real peach.

My wife and I decided to buy a new furnace and we had five different bids. The salesmen that came made a big production out of measuring windows and measuring rooms and presenting spreadsheets and graphs of costs and savings. Enter Hinding, the guy comes in with no sales pitch at all but goes straight to the furnace room and ask what it is we are looking for, high efficiency, double stage or single stage. Now the other guys tried to establish rapport, like hey, I got a truck just like yours, or hey I am a funny guy and let me relate to you with jokes, none of which I had time for, anyway they go

After receiving inflated estimates for repair and carbon monoxide scare tactics leading to a $11k estimate for replacement from other, larger company, I called Pat at Hinding to get an estimate for furnace . He came out and diagnosed my thermostat as the problem, and then bypassed it to solve my problem . He checked for CO levels inside and out as well as the amp draw on the motor the larger company said was the issue. He saved me a ton of money and and didn't even try to sell my a thermostat! I have heat on a cold day and they have me as a loyal customer for life. Ps: this review is no BS

Don't use. Lazy and not thorough. I called him because I smelled gas in a home I'd purchased but had not moved into. Xcel Energy had even marked the leak for me and turned off the gas. He waved a device around the basement and upstairs to check CO2 and said no leaks. Charged $120 and took off.
Gas smell persisted. Called Krinkie's. They found several sources of small leaks and a bad gas fireplace leak. I have an old home with old fittings. Krinkies was great and had a device to find them all, and repair.
No more gas smell...and no more using Hinding...ever

Over the past two years, Hinding has responded to my frantic calls twice within an hour, successfully getting my 40 year old residential boiler up and working again. I finally sprang for a new one: they did a great job in a half day, even with a couple of minor glitches. All that and they came in under estimate! These people are skilled at their craft and are fun to work with. My house is now warm and cozy; I'm very happy to be within their service area in St Paul, MN!

This is the best, most honest, heating / cooling service in the twin cities. There is behavior from some companies bordering on criminal extortion going on out there and I almost fell victim to it. They saved me thousands of dollars by doing an honest assessment on what my boiler needed and I'm really grateful for it. Some simple maintenance cost $250 instead of the $4,000-$6,000 job being quoted by a competitor of theirs. My boiler is running like new.

A radiator in my house developed a gushing leak that was flowing into the basement. It was late December and I called Hinding for help. They told me they could do that sort of work, but not until Spring. Spring??
The guy answering the phone had customer service skills of a hungover car mechanic.
Very disappointed.

Being new to the neighborhood, I took advantage of a Hinding seasonal special on a furnace clean and tune a few weeks ago. I scheduled a second appointment last week because some new noise had developed in the furnace since then.
Your technician identified the problem quickly as one to "keep an eye on" but not critical to replace immediately. He was very courteous, knowledgeable and didn't charge for the service call since you had just paid us a recent visit.
Thanks, you've gained a new loyal customer.
