Rice is a small Benton County city on U.S. Highway 10, with the Mississippi River to the west and Little Rock Lake to the east, on flat, sandy prairie and oak savanna ground. It is open country with a farming past, and the horizon, not a skyline, is what you notice first. More about the area is on our locations page.
The town is named for George T. Rice, a hotelier and mill owner who arrived in 1864; the Northern Pacific Railroad came through in 1877 and 1878, and the village incorporated on July 18, 1890, as a farming community. Rice was named a Tree City USA in 1993, a small honour that fits a town proud of its trees and open spaces.
Minnesota winter does not arrive all at once, but once it settles, a furnace carries a home from October into April with barely a pause. That long duty is hardest on older parts: filters clog, vents collect frost and snow, and ductwork leaks warmth into spaces nobody uses. A safety inspection alongside a tune-up checks for carbon monoxide risks in a sealed-up winter home, and it gives a homeowner a clear picture of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for the season ahead. Our maintenance and tune-up visits cover exactly that seasonal check.
A furnace visit from us can mean a repair, a replacement, or a tune-up and safety inspection, and the right choice depends on the furnace in front of us, not on a script. We check ignition, the blower motor, the heat exchanger, filters, venting, and the thermostat, and we explain the options before any work starts. Gas, electric, and propane systems are all in our scope, as are the ductwork and airflow paths that decide whether the heat a furnace makes actually reaches the rooms where people live. See our services for the full list.
Our Rice service area centres on homes along U.S. Highway 10, between the Mississippi River to the west and Little Rock Lake to the east. The town's ZIP code is 56367, and that code is the one to use when you tell us where the home is. Rice sits in Benton County, and our work here connects directly to our St. Cloud base, so a visit here is part of our regular service area, not a special trip. If your address sits just outside the town line, call and ask, and we will talk through whether a visit is possible. You can also browse all our locations with your address in mind.
We work out of St. Cloud, from 823 1st St S, and we travel to the surrounding towns as a normal part of every week. Getting in touch is simple: call or email, describe the furnace and the home, and a technician will talk through the symptoms and the next steps with you before any work is agreed. Call (320) 389-8174 to start.
The heating loop runs the same way in a prairie town as in the city.

In Rice, the calls we hear most often are familiar winter ones: a furnace that will not start, rooms that stay cold while others overheat, short cycling, and new noises from the blower or burner. Cold snaps bring them out, because a weak igniter or a tired blower motor fails hardest on the coldest nights. If you notice one of these signs, call and describe it, and we will talk through what it may mean before a visit.
Yes. Our Rice coverage includes homes along U.S. Highway 10, between the Mississippi River to the west and Little Rock Lake to the east. When you get in touch, tell us which street or side of town you are on, and we will confirm the visit from there. Homes across the town, not just near the main roads, are part of our service area.
Age, repair history, and comfort tell the story together. A furnace that breaks down often, heats unevenly despite tune-ups, or struggles through cold weeks may be near the end of sensible repair, while a single failed part in an otherwise steady system is usually a repair. We check the heat exchanger, blower, ignition, and controls, then explain both options plainly so you can choose.
Yes, and autumn is the best time for it. A tune-up checks the filter, blower motor, heat exchanger, ignition parts, venting, and thermostat while the weather still allows a calm visit. Catching a worn part in October beats finding it on a January night, and the visit also covers safety checks for a home sealed up for winter.
First, check the thermostat setting, the filter, and whether the furnace switch and breaker are on, since those simple checks solve more calls than people expect. Then call (320) 389-8174 and describe what the furnace is doing, any sounds or smells, and when it stopped. Do not keep resetting a furnace that keeps shutting down; a technician should look at the ignition, venting, and safety controls first.
Yes. We work on gas, electric, and propane furnace systems in Rice, including the blower motors, heat exchangers, thermostats, and ductwork that go with them. If you know your fuel type when you call, say so, since it helps the conversation; if you do not know, a technician will work it out with you from the furnace itself.
