Forty years ago, in the lakeside town of Wahkon, a young couple turned their tiny garage into a one‑van HVAC shop. Word spread fast: they showed up when promised, fixed what others couldn’t, and treated neighbors like family. As seasons rolled by—blistering summers, bone‑chilling winters—the shop grew to a fleet, yet never lost its small‑town heart. Today, that same company has kept more than 5,000 Minnesota homes warm in January and cool in July, still greeting every customer by name, still answering after‑hours calls when a furnace quits at 2 a.m. Four decades on, the story remains simple: great service, Wahkon proud.
