Master-Level Air Conditioning Services in Shakopee & Scott County
Performance Mechanical LLC delivers master-level residential and commercial air conditioning services throughout Shakopee, Prior Lake, Savage, Chaska, and the southwest Twin Cities metro. Summer weather along the Minnesota River valley is notoriously humid, with July and August temperatures frequently surging into the 90s and dew points exceeding 70°F. When high humidity combines with intense summer heat, an efficient, properly charged air conditioning system is vital for family comfort, indoor air quality, and mold prevention. Owned and operated by master mechanical contractor Wil Fonder, Performance Mechanical brings commercial-grade engineering precision to residential and commercial cooling. Wil earned his AAS degree in HVAC/R System Servicing from Dunwoody College of Technology, served a comprehensive five-year apprenticeship with St. Paul Pipefitters Local 455, and holds Universal EPA Section 608 Certification. From rapid emergency AC repairs during heat waves to precision SEER2 system replacements, we deliver honest diagnostics and dependable cooling. Call (213) 423-7827 to speak directly with Wil Fonder.
Central AC Repair & Emergency Heat-Wave Diagnostics
When your central air conditioning system fails in the middle of a sweltering weekend, you need prompt, experienced technical care without corporate sales pressure. Performance Mechanical services all major cooling brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Rheem, York, Goodman, and Amana. Our mobile service vans are stocked with universal Turbo 200 multi-microfarad capacitors, heavy-duty 30A and 40A contactors, Rescue condenser fan motors, universal transformers, and condensate safety switches. We diagnose common summer failure modes: swollen dual-run capacitors, pitted electrical contactors, seized fan motor bearings, and frozen evaporator coils caused by restricted airflow or refrigerant leaks. Using digital Bluetooth manifold gauges, we measure operating superheat and subcooling to within a tenth of a degree, locating microscopic pinhole leaks with electronic sniffers and brazing copper lines under a positive nitrogen purge.
High-Efficiency Air Conditioner Replacement & Load Sizing
If your cooling system is more than 12 to 15 years old, uses phased-out R-22 Freon, or faces an expensive compressor failure, upgrading to a high-efficiency central air conditioner delivers dramatic energy savings and whisper-quiet operation. Performance Mechanical performs detailed ACCA Manual J cooling load calculations, analyzing your home's square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, and duct capacity. Sizing is critical: an oversized AC will cool the home too quickly without running long enough to dehumidify the air, leaving your home cold and clammy. We install premium SEER2-compliant systems featuring two-stage and inverter-driven variable-speed scroll compressors. We also fabricate custom galvanized sheet metal evaporator coil transitions and help homeowners claim electric utility CIP rebates from Shakopee Public Utilities, Xcel Energy, and Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative (MVEC), along with Federal Section 25C tax credits ($600).
Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps for Targeted Room Cooling
For Shakopee homes with hot second-story bedrooms, three-season porches, finished attics, bonus rooms over garages, or hydronic boiler heating without existing ductwork, ductless mini-split heat pumps offer the ideal cooling solution. Performance Mechanical installs industry-leading Mitsubishi Electric Hyper-Heating (H2i) multi-zone ductless systems. These advanced units feature variable-refrigerant-flow (VRF) technology that modulates compressor capacity from 10% to 100%, delivering pinpoint temperature control while operating at whisper-quiet sound levels as low as 19 dBA. We install sleek wall-mounted indoor units, ceiling cassettes, and multi-zone outdoor condensers mounted on elevated snow stands, connecting rooms via compact refrigerant line sets without tearing open walls or sacrificing closet space.
Commercial Cooling: Packaged RTUs & Chilled Water Loops
Performance Mechanical provides specialized commercial air conditioning solutions for retail plazas, restaurants, corporate offices, and medical clinics across Scott County. We service 3-ton to 25-ton packaged rooftop units (RTUs), inspecting economizer dampers, testing Belimo actuators, cleaning condenser coils with non-acid biodegradable foam, and replacing worn drive belts. For commercial facilities utilizing chilled-water hydronic cooling, Wil Fonder’s St. Paul Pipefitters Local 455 training enables expert servicing of air-cooled chillers, circulating pumps, and terminal fan coil units (FCUs). We offer tailored commercial maintenance agreements that ensure continuous cooling performance and protect businesses from costly mid-summer downtime.
Owner-Operated Transparency, SAVE5 Savings & Fast Dispatch
As an independent, owner-operated mechanical contractor, Performance Mechanical is dedicated to delivering transparent, high-integrity service. Wil Fonder personally evaluates your cooling system, explains the mechanical problem, and gives you a clear flat-rate price before any work begins. There are never commission-driven recommendations or pressure to replace an air conditioner that can be reliably repaired. Residential customers receive 5% off service and repairs with promo code SAVE5, and complete system installations include a complimentary smart Wi-Fi thermostat. All installations are fully permitted through local Scott County building inspection departments and meet Minnesota Mechanical Code (Chapter 1346) standards.

Real Words From Twin Cities Homeowners
Our reputation is built on one honest install and repair at a time. Here is what real customers say about working directly with Wil Fonder.
“Replaced Furnace & Took Care of Rebates”
Excellent install, came prepared for everything, was friendly to the cat who wouldn’t leave him alone. Took care of rebate and registration paperwork so I wouldn’t have to. Only replaced the furnace - didn’t try to upsell me on components that were still functional.

“Thank you Robert for the great review! Thank you for allowing our company to take care of your mechanical needs!”
“Diagnosed Ongoing Furnace Shutdown Within Minutes”
Experienced ongoing furnace issues and others tried, but could not properly diagnose why it continued shutting down. One of my sons, an experienced Pipefitter, referred me to Will Fonder based on knowing and working with him. Thank God! Will was able to diagnose and fix the issues within minutes. He holds expert level knowledge, patiently answered my many questions, and is simply an exceptional person - all of these qualities are very rare today. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

“Picked Up Water Heater on the Way & Restored Hot Water”
Wil is the best! We have used him twice now. This last time our water heater went out and he picked up one on his way to replace ours, he answered all my questions prior to coming as far as what he advised we replace the old with. He arrived right when he said he would, got everything replaced and everything was clean and we had hot water in no time. Best guy in the Twin Cities!
