Heating and Air Conditioning Service for Excelsior Homes and Businesses
Brinks Heating & Air is owned and operated by me, Dave Brinkhaus, a Plymouth-based HVAC contractor with 30 years of experience serving Excelsior and the surrounding Lake Minnetonka area. Excelsior is one of the more distinctive communities in the western suburbs — a small city with a strong historical identity, Victorian-era homes, a landmark commercial district on the National Register of Historic Places, and a location on Lake Minnetonka’s southern shore that makes it a destination in its own right.
With a median construction year of 1968 and nearly a quarter of homes built before 1940, Excelsior has some of the oldest housing stock in the service area. HVAC equipment throughout the city spans a wide range of ages and conditions — some systems are newer and just need consistent maintenance to stay in good shape, while others have been running long enough that repair and replacement conversations come up regularly. I’ve worked in older homes like these for 30 years and know what to look for. You’ll get a straight answer about where your system stands and what makes the most sense going forward.
