Count on the security experts at Stafford Home Service to simplify the process with a wireless security system. For the utmost in reliability and quality, we offer wired sensing products from Interlogix. A true professional job.

A malfunctioning heating system is both an inconvenience and a safety issue, especially during frigid Minnesota winters and because of the possibility of hazards such as carbon monoxide poisoning. There are many common issues that may occur with your furnace and heating system, including soiled or clogged filters, mechanical wear and tear, problems with a pilot light or ignition control, a malfunctioning thermostat, and lack of regular maintenance. A cracked heat exchanger or a burner not operating properly can create a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Home security means more than preventing break-ins and theft. Homeowners can be alerted to any number of activities or issues within the home, from knowing when a child arrives home from school to carbon monoxide warnings, in addition to being alerted when a stranger is at the door or in the backyard. Residential security systems have become more accessible in recent years, with advances in technology and design as well as availability of networking capabilities. Most can be accessed and controlled remotely from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, and many work in connection with other systems in your home, like your thermostat.

Minnesota's weather extremes can cause a number of inconveniences, but losing power doesn't have to be one of them. No matter the cause, a back-up portable generator can provide electricity to your home or property during a power outage. In addition to the convenience of having electricity during an outage, utilizing an emergency generator can prevent pipes from freezing during the winter, allow a sump pump to run during heavy rains, and prevent food from spoiling in the refrigerator or freezer.

Modern boilers or hydronic systems offer an efficient, energy-saving way to heat your home that may also result in cost savings. Boilers function somewhat like furnaces, except that they heat water rather than air. The boiler system distributes heat by circulating the heated water to radiators, radiant panels, or radiant flooring, and cooler water is returned to the boiler for reheating. Stafford Home Service offers hydronic system design and installation, boiler replacement, and boiler retrofits from brands you trust like, Lochinvar and Slantfin.

Too much moisture in the air inside your home can cause a number of problems, including growth of mold, mildew, and pollutants that can aggravate the symptoms of asthma and allergy sufferers. Cabinetry, window and door frames, and hardwood floors can become swollen and warped. Condensation on windows, blistered paint, peeling wallpaper, and spots on the ceiling or walls can also be an indication of high humidity levels. A whole house dehumidifier, operating in connection with your home's heating and cooling system, draws in air from all areas of your home through return ducts.

Together they have nearly 50 years of experience in residential electrical and heating and air conditioning, and continue to operate with the same goal as previous owners Curt Cervin and Paul Stafford: quality workmanship with complete customer satisfaction. Kris Thompson began his career at Stafford Home Service in 1993 as an apprentice right out of high school, and learned the business from the ground up.
