Emergency Cooling Assistance
24/7 Emergency Cooling Assistance
In the Twin Cities, our summers can be as hot and humid as the winters are windy and cold. Unfortunately, a faulty air conditioning system does not care if it’s blazing outside when it breaks. A Minnesota summer can yield temperatures in the 90s, and so when your AC goes out, you need assistance as fast as possible.
This is why at Ray N. Welter Heating Company, we offer existing customers 24/7 assistance for all your air cooling emergencies. Since 1904, our company has been committed to being there for our customers whenever they need us—even if that means being there in the middle of the night. You can count on us to help you with any issue you’re having with your cooling units, every minute, hour, and day of the year.

When you reach out to our team for 24-hour assistance, you can rest assured that you will be connected with a fully trained professional who can handle your HVAC repair.
Warning Signs
There are a few ways to tell that your air conditioning system is about to fail before it happens. Keep an eye out for the following, and be sure to call Welter Heating immediately when you spot them:
- Air is not cooling as well as it used to
- An unexpected surge in the air conditioning bill
- Strange noises coming from your cooling unit
- Thermostat is not responding correctly
Ignoring these warning signs can lead to serious and expensive consequences, such as compressor failure or the need to replace your entire cooling unit. Still, even if worst comes to worst, Ray N. Welter Heating offers affordable air conditioning repair and maintenance for all major brands of central air conditioning units. Our team of professionals will ensure that your cooling system receives the right attention, regardless of when your emergency occurs.

These guys were my second call when my furnace stopped working properly. The first company I used sent a tech out who said the furnace needed to be replaced, and gave me a quote, but said he "jiggled a wire" and got it running again for the time being.
When it went out again the other day, I called Ray N. Welter. Their tech, Ralph, fixed the problem in half an hour. He told me the furnace is pretty old, but his fix should get me through the winter "and maybe a couple more," and then gave me a quote that was lower than the first company.
These guys are rad.

Furnace stopped working. When that happens after hours you learn a lot about companies. Today I called RW and got a person on the phone that knows about furnaces and he dispatched a service person Phil within 2 hours. I called them based on personal refer and reviews. They are excellent. Despite having a very old furnace it was the second time that this company said I did not need to replace. If I did replace it I want a Trane and RW would do to the work. For now I will call them for fall/spring tune ups and love that they don't have the club memberships etc. Just good solid customer service for all customers. A really ++ experience. Family run business with integrity.

If you need superior service this is your company!!! We were in Florida experiencing our first year as "snowbirds" when our furnace (in Bloomington) stopped working. Rick Welter personally took our call and not only sent a technician to our cold home, but checked on it for the next two days until our new heating unit could be properly installed. Phenomenal service!
In addition to the great service, their pricing was very competitive. I highly recommend this company for all of your heating or A/C needs!!!
