Heating and Air Conditioning Service for Orono Homes
Brinks Heating & Air is owned and operated by me, Dave Brinkhaus, a Plymouth-based HVAC contractor with 30 years of experience serving Orono and the surrounding Lake Minnetonka area. Orono is one of the most distinctive communities in the western suburbs — the largest municipality by area on Lake Minnetonka, with expansive properties on wooded lots, a 90% homeownership rate, and a community that takes pride in maintaining what it has built.
With a median construction year of 1982 and a notable share of homes built before 1940, Orono’s housing stock spans a wide range of equipment ages. Some systems are newer and just need consistent maintenance to stay in good shape. Others have been running long enough that repair and replacement conversations come up regularly. I’ve worked in homes like these throughout the Lake Minnetonka area for 30 years — you’ll get a straight answer about where your system stands and what makes the most sense going forward.
