Most shops do furnaces or drains. Since Botten Plumbing joined us in 2021, we do both, with six licensed plumbers riding alongside the HVAC crews.
Furnaces, boilers, AC and cold-climate heat pumps
Repairs answered day or night, installs sized for the actual house, and tune-ups that catch the September part before it becomes the January emergency.

Six plumbers on staff means you get a pro this week, not next month. Camera inspections find the real problem before anyone guesses at it.

Northland equipment works harder than almost anywhere in the country. These are the signs worth a call before they become a 2 a.m. one.
Heating
- The furnace starts, stops, and starts again every few minutes
- Cold rooms with the thermostat turned up
- A yellow or flickering burner flame instead of steady blue
- A burning smell that lasts past the first hour of the season
- A boiler that needs bleeding every week
Cooling
- Warm air from the vents while the outdoor unit runs
- Ice on the refrigerant line or the indoor coil
- The house stays sticky no matter how long it runs
- Water pooling around the indoor unit
- The electric bill jumped with no change in habits
Plumbing
- A water heater past twelve years old, or one that rumbles
- A drain that keeps slowing down after you clear it
- Water pressure dropping at more than one fixture
- A faucet that will not stop dripping
- A sewer smell in the basement or the yard

Describe the problem"We're your neighbors, committed to doing every job right. Our roots run deep in Superior and Duluth, and that means something when your name is on the truck."
Joe still estimates jobs and runs the schedule himself. In 2021, Advantage Air joined forces with Botten Plumbing, adding six plumbers on staff and full septic capability, so one trusted local company can handle the whole house.
Never think about your furnace again.

Our word, in writing, on every job.
Six things you can hold us to. Every technician, every truck, both sides of the bridge.
Price before work
You approve the number before a wrench comes out. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Real people, 24/7
No phone maze. A human answers any hour, and dispatch runs from both sides of the bridge.
All makes & models
Independent, not a single-brand dealer. We fix what you own and size what you actually need.
Licensed in MN + WI
Bonded and insured on both sides of the state line, with background-checked technicians on every call.
Sized for your house
Energy Star certified equipment, sized for your actual home, not the biggest unit on the truck.
Clean, tested, done
Boot covers on, work tested twice, mess gone. We are not done until you would recommend us to a neighbor.
Recent work around the Twin Ports.
Straight discounts, applied before the work.
A discount that appears at the end is just a number somebody moved. Ours come off the written price you approve before a wrench comes out of the truck.
Free written estimate
We look at the actual house, size it properly, and hand you a written number with the repair and replace options side by side. No obligation, and yours to take anywhere.
Free second opinion
Got a four-figure quote from someone else? Have us look before you sign. If their diagnosis holds up, we will say so. If it does not, you just saved real money.
Member rate on repairs
$14.99 a month gets you discounted repairs all year, priority scheduling, and annual checkups on the heating, cooling and plumbing side alike. Often better than a one-off seasonal coupon.
Hear it from your neighbors.
Two shops, two Google profiles, both public. We run them because we can't edit them.
"Had a cold climate heat pump installed with gas furnace backup. I received 3 bids and Advantage Air had the best price without artificially lowering it with rebates. They were on time, removed the old oil furnace, coordinated all the electrical work, and did a great job explaining the new technology."
"Very prompt and courteous, explained everything well. We have used a local competitor in the past, and Advantage Air has the extra touch of customer service, including the people who schedule the plumbers. They made a very stressful event stress-free."
