Attention Blooming Prairie Utilities Customers!

Cooling Tune-Up Rebates up to $60!

Experts recommend a tune-up every two years because maintaining your cooling system regularly is one of the best ways to ensure your comfort. A tune-up provides an opportunity for a licensed technician to professionally evaluate your air conditioner or heat pump and ensure that it operates at optimum efficiency. A professional tune-up can improve efficiency by about 10% and provide improved comfort, lower energy costs, and help extend the life of your equipment.
