Where quality care meets superior craftsmanship
Krinkie’s is locally owned and operated. Our team lives here too, so we know Minnesota weather first-hand.
Our story
Bruce Krinkie founded Krinkie’s in 1981, and he has owned it ever since. Over more than four decades we’ve adapted our services and equipment to the industry’s best practices. What hasn’t changed is our technicians — many have been with us for years, and that’s turned a company into a family.
We built Krinkie’s on a simple principle: your satisfaction comes first, always. That means swift, dependable heating, cooling, air quality, plumbing and electrical service, fairly priced, any day at any time.
The team you can depend on
Skilled specialists. Our technicians keep learning through seminars, courses and new techniques.
Friendly and courteous. We treat your home as if it were our own. If a technician ever smokes, swears or treats you with disrespect, tell us.
Drug and alcohol free. Every new team member passes an extensive background check, and we run random drug tests.

What we do
Krinkie’s Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing is a locally owned company based at 4270 Centerville Road #A in Vadnais Heights. We have served Twin Cities homes since 1981, under the same owner, Bruce Krinkie. Our work is residential: heating, cooling, indoor air quality, plumbing and electrical.
One call can cover a furnace tune-up, a new air conditioner, a whole-home humidifier or a panel upgrade. We install and repair furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, water heaters, central air and ductless mini-splits. Our air quality work includes air purification and whole-home humidifiers.
Our licensed electricians work alongside our HVAC technicians. They handle service and panel upgrades, lighting, circuits and repairs. When a system fails at night or on a weekend, our 24/7 emergency service is available. A real person answers the phone, 24 hours a day.
Credentials you can check
Krinkie’s is a BBB Accredited Business. You can read our profile on the Better Business Bureau website.
We are also a Daikin ComfortPro certified dealer. We install and service Daikin furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps and ductless mini-splits. Daikin lists its certified contractors through its Daikin contractor finder.
Before you hire any contractor in Minnesota, you can confirm their license with the Minnesota DLI license lookup. It shows license status and any enforcement actions, and no account is needed to search. We encourage every homeowner to check.
Our team standards
Every Krinkie’s technician is certified, background-checked and drug-tested. These standards apply to everyone we send into your home, whether the job is a tune-up or a full installation. If a technician ever falls short of them, we want to hear about it.
Ways we help you save
The Krinkie’s Club maintenance plan includes two tune-ups a year, up to a 20% discount on most repairs, a reduced trip charge and priority service. The AC tune-up comes in spring and the furnace tune-up in fall.
