Same Team. Same Standard. Same Promise.
Veteran-owned HVAC out of Duluth, now serving Ely and the Iron Range. Same techs, same flat-rate pricing, 60+ mile coverage radius.
HVAC Service Across Ely & the Iron Range
Northland Air is one company with an expanded territory — Duluth headquartered, serving every community within a 60-mile-plus radius. From Ely and the boundary-waters cabin country down through the Iron Range, we run a single dispatch team out of our Duluth HQ. Same techs, same flat-rate pricing, same one-year labor warranty whether you’re in West Duluth or Hoyt Lakes.
Why Northland Air for Ely
Extreme Cold and Propane or Fuel-Oil Heat
Ely runs colder than the catalog default and most homes are off the natural-gas grid. We size propane, fuel-oil, and electric systems to the real design temperature so they keep up below zero.
Lake Cabins and Seasonal Homes
A heating failure at an empty cabin near Burntside or White Iron becomes a burst pipe fast. We set up systems and monitoring built for properties that sit unoccupied through deep cold.
Older Iron Range Housing Stock
Mining-era homes through Virginia, Hibbing, and Eveleth often have decades of added ductwork and aging boilers. We work with what is there instead of forcing a standard install.
Long Distances, Honest Windows
The Iron Range is spread out. We give you a straight scheduling window based on real drive time rather than a promise we cannot keep.
Full Residential and Commercial HVAC
From single-stage furnace tune-ups to multi-zone heat pump installs, we cover the full HVAC stack for homes, cabins, and small commercial properties across the Iron Range.

Our furnace died the night before a snowstorm. Three other shops couldn’t come for days, these guys had us back on heat in four hours flat.
Sarah K., Duluth, MN
Honest about what was actually wrong with the water heater. Saved us $1,200 over the big-name shop’s quote, and the install was cleaner too.
Tom B., Cloquet, MN
Pipes froze at -20°F on a Sunday. They were here in 90 minutes, thawed everything safely, and even insulated the worst run before they left.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about service, pricing, and emergencies, no jargon.
Are you licensed and insured in Minnesota?
Yes. We carry a Minnesota HVAC contractor license, plus full liability and workers’ comp coverage on every job, for your protection and ours.
Do you give upfront pricing?
Always. You see the full quote before any work begins, no hourly billing surprises, no add-ons mid-job.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer flexible financing through approved lenders on qualifying installations, so you can move forward with the right system and spread the cost over time. We go over current options and terms when we quote your job.
Do you offer same-day or emergency service?
Yes, we run 24/7 emergency calls for no-heat, no-water, and burst pipe situations. Most other calls are same-day if booked before noon.
Do you service Duluth and the rest of the Twin Ports?
Yes. We serve a 60-mile radius from Duluth — including Superior, Hermantown, Cloquet, Two Harbors, Carlton, Grand Marais, and everything in between. We also serve the Ely area and the surrounding Iron Range communities. One company, one standard of service, across the entire region.
How does your estimate and consultation process work?
New installs and replacements include an in-home consultation where we assess your home, size the system properly, and give you an all-in, upfront price before any work begins. Our $139 diagnostic covers the full estimate — no travel charges, no hidden fees, no surprises. If you move forward with the work, the $139 rolls into the job.
Do you charge a diagnostic fee?
Yes. Diagnostics start at $139, which covers the on-site visit and a written quote. If you book the repair or install with us, that $139 rolls into the job. No hourly billing surprises, no mid-job add-ons.
How does your pricing work?
Flat-rate, upfront. You see the all-in price for the work before we touch a wrench. For larger installs we also walk through annual operating-cost differences between options so you can make a real decision, not a guess.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
Every install carries a 1-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer parts and compressor warranties. We document the work with photos and combustion / pressure readings on every job, so if anything is off, we have the records to make it right.
Do you pull permits on installs?
Yes, every install. Permits pulled, inspections passed, and full commissioning documented. You get the paperwork. If anyone tries to talk you out of permits to save you a few dollars, get a second opinion.
