What we know about Floodwood
Floodwood is a small city at the confluence of the Floodwood and St. Louis rivers, with farm and forest country around it. Propane and wood heat the houses, and agricultural buildings are a genuine share of the work. Being on Highway 2 keeps access reliable at 50 minutes, and we bundle routine work into trips out this corridor. River proximity means damp basements in some of the older stock, which shortens the life of equipment sitting on the floor. The school and the small commercial core give it some light commercial work alongside the residential.
The housing we work on here

Floodwood — questions we get asked
Do you serve Floodwood, MN?
Yes. Floodwood is 39.9 miles from Duluth — about 50 minutes west of Duluth. It is in our edge band, so we run emergencies around the clock and schedule routine work bundled with other calls in the corridor, which costs you less than a dedicated trip.
What heating fuel does Floodwood use?
Floodwood is propane country — there is no natural gas main out here. Because propane costs considerably more per BTU than natural gas, a cold-climate heat pump saves you noticeably more than it would a customer in town, which is why we raise it on most quotes here.
Is there an extra charge for coming to Floodwood?
No. The $89 diagnostic is the same across the whole 45-mile area, in both states. What changes with distance is the response window, not the price.
Do you handle emergency no-heat calls in Floodwood overnight?
Yes, 24 hours a day including holidays. From this distance we will give you an honest arrival window rather than an optimistic one, so you can decide whether to protect the plumbing or go somewhere warm while you wait.
What are the most common Floodwood heating problems you see?
Highway 2 keeps winter access reliable despite the 50-minute drive. River confluence means damp basements in the older stock, shortening equipment life on the floor.
