What we know about Highland
Highland is farmland and forest south of Superior, and it is straightforwardly rural in its HVAC needs. Propane throughout, fuel oil still heating some of the older places, and wood doing real work in most houses. The jobs are propane combustion and regulator service, oil burner work on the older systems, shop and pole-building heating, and the water heater maintenance that hard well water demands. Because it is agricultural, outbuilding and shop heating is a larger share of the work here than in the suburban townships, and getting that right means sizing for the envelope and the door traffic rather than the floor area — an uninsulated pole building will defeat any heater you put in it, and we will say so rather than sell you one.
The housing we work on here
Rural: older farmsteads, modest country homes and newer acreage builds. Propane forced air standard, fuel oil on some older properties, wood heat very common, pole buildings and shops nearly universal.
Areas we cover: Highland Township · the Highway 35 corridor · surrounding county roads.

Yes. Highland is 13 miles from Superior — about 22 minutes south of Superior. Same-day service is the normal outcome here for repair calls.
What heating fuel does Highland use?
Highland 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 Highland?
No. The $89 diagnostic is the same across the whole 45-mile area, in both states, and there is no surcharge for crossing the bridge into Wisconsin. What changes with distance is the response window, not the price.
Do you handle emergency no-heat calls in Highland overnight?
Yes, 24 hours a day including holidays. Tell us the indoor temperature and whether anyone in the house is medically vulnerable — it determines how the call is prioritised.
