Our headquarters is located at:

Owens Companies 500 West 92nd Street Bloomington, MN 55420

We proudly serve Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the entire Twin Cities metro area. We also serve the St. Cloud and Rochester and surrounding areas.

Yes. We offer HVAC retrofitting services that upgrade components, add building automation controls, or convert to high-efficiency equipment using Geothermal. Retrofitting can significantly lower energy costs and extend the life of existing systems without a full replacement.

Geothermal systems use the earth’s stable underground temperature to heat and cool a building. Water or refrigerant circulates through a loop system buried underground, transferring heat in or out of the building. This approach can reduce energy use by up to 50% compared to conventional systems.

Maintenance needs vary based on:

• The size and age of your HVAC equipment

• Building occupancy and operational hours

• System complexity (boilers, chillers, rooftop units, etc.)

Owens Companies customizes preventive maintenance programs for each client to ensure reliable performance, minimal downtime, and cost savings. Compare our Maintenance Plans.

A design/build HVAC project combines planning, engineering, and installation under one provider. Owens Companies handles:

• System design and energy modeling

• Equipment selection

• Installation and commissioning

• Long-term maintenance support

This streamlines communication, reduces project delays, and ensures your system is optimized for your building from the start.

In Minnesota, two major utilities offer commercial boiler tune-up rebates.

• CenterPoint Energy provides a rebate of 25% off the tune-up cost, up to $300 per boiler.

• Xcel Energy offers the same rebate percentage—25% off, but with a higher cap of $350 per boiler. These rebates apply to natural gas commercial boilers that are already in service. Owens Companies can manage the full rebate process for you.

To qualify, your commercial property must:

1. Be served by either CenterPoint Energy or Xcel Energy in Minnesota.

2. Have existing natural gas boilers in service—rebates are not available for new installations.

3. Complete the tune-up through Owens Companies, ensuring all efficiency requirements and documentation are met.

We simplify the rebate process from start to finish:

• Schedule and conduct certified boiler tune-ups that meet utility rebate criteria.

• Complete and submit all rebate paperwork on your behalf.

• Advise you on system efficiency improvements to maintain long-term savings.

You can save significant dollars depending on your utility partner and tune-up cost:

• With CenterPoint Energy, get up to $300 back per boiler.

• With Xcel Energy, get up to $350 back per boiler—a smart efficiency investment that helps protect your bottom line.

Building automation refers to centralized systems that monitor and control HVAC, lighting, ventilation, and other building functions. Owens Companies installs smart automation platforms that:

• Automatically optimize indoor comfort

• Reduce energy waste

• Provide real-time alerts for system issues

• Enable remote access and diagnostics

This improves efficiency, lowers operational costs, and increases system reliability.

With proper preventive maintenance, commercial:

• Boilers can last 20–30 years

• Chillers can last 15–25 years

Factors that influence lifespan include system type, usage intensity, maintenance frequency, and water quality. Owens Companies can evaluate your current equipment and recommend upgrades or retrofits if needed.

Reactive maintenance waits until a system fails before repairs are made—often resulting in costly downtime and emergency service.

Preventive maintenance is a proactive approach that involves regular inspections, cleaning, and performance checks to:

• Avoid system breakdowns

• Catch small problems early

• Extend equipment life

• Maintain energy efficiency

Owens Companies has been a regional leader in preventive maintenance for decades.

Geothermal HVAC systems use the earth’s stable temperature to heat and cool buildings. Water circulates through underground pipes to absorb or release heat, depending on the season.

Benefits include:

• Lower operating costs over time

• Fewer moving parts = less maintenance

• Qualifies for rebates and green building incentives

Owens Companies designs and installs closed-loop geothermal systems for commercial applications. A site assessment can help determine feasibility.

Our Virtual Services program uses smart controls and phone-based diagnostics to troubleshoot HVAC problems without sending a technician onsite. This allows:

• Faster response times

• Lower diagnostic costs

• Guidance for your on-site team

• Reduced downtime

In many cases, we can resolve issues virtually or prepare technicians with the right parts before arrival.

Consider replacing or upgrading your system if:

• It’s more than 15–20 years old

• You experience frequent repairs

• Energy bills are increasing

• Indoor comfort is inconsistent

• Your building automation is outdated

Owens Companies offers full design/build services, including energy-efficient upgrades and retrofits tailored to your facility’s needs.

HVAC capital expense planning involves forecasting and budgeting for the future replacement or upgrade of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems.

Owens Companies recommends reassessing your mechanical systems every 3–5 years to account for wear, usage, and efficiency changes.
