Gadget Answers Your Questions
In what way does your company go above and beyond during service calls?
At Green Man, every service call is backed by our Go GREEN Guarantee. We don't believe in quick fixes or high-pressure sales. We believe in doing the job right, communicating honestly, treating your home with respect, and standing behind our work. That's what GREEN means to us: Guaranteed craftsmanship, Reliable service, Energy-smart solutions, Experienced technicians, and No Surprises.
Are you licensed to provide electrical repairs in Austin ?
Yes! Green Man partners with our sister company, Austin Electric, to provide professional electrical services throughout Southern Minnesota. Since 2004, Austin Electric has earned a reputation for quality workmanship and dependable service. Our electricians complete a rigorous apprenticeship before becoming fully licensed and we are fully licensed and insured to perform residential and commercial electrical work. From repairs and panel upgrades to generators, EV chargers, lighting, and solar installations, we're here to help.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my HVAC system?
Choosing between repairing and replacing your heating and cooling system doesn't have to be stressful. Our experienced technicians will evaluate your system, explain what's causing the problem, and provide honest recommendations based on your home's needs, your budget, and the expected life of your equipment. If a repair is the best option, we'll tell you. If replacement will save you money in the long run, we'll explain why.
Can solar really help reduce energy costs in Minnesota?
Absolutely! Solar can help lower your monthly energy bills by generating clean, renewable electricity for your home. Whether a roof-mounted or ground-mounted system is the best fit, we'll evaluate your property, explain available tax incentives, and design a solution that meets your energy needs and budget.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my heating and cooling system?
Gadget recommends scheduling maintenance twice a year—once during the cooling season and again during the heating season. Seasonal maintenance helps improve efficiency, extend the life of your equipment, and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns. Since air conditioners can only be properly tested when outdoor temperatures are above 60°F, cooling maintenance should be completed while the weather is warm enough for accurate testing.
Why should I join the Guardian Plan?
The best way to avoid unexpected breakdowns is to prevent them in the first place. The Guardian Plan includes regular maintenance to help identify small problems before they become expensive repairs. Members also enjoy priority service, exclusive discounts, annual safety checks, and loyalty credits toward future system replacement. It's a simple way to protect your comfort and your budget.
