Master Mechanical Heating Services in Shakopee & Scott County
Performance Mechanical LLC provides master-level residential and commercial heating services throughout Shakopee, Prior Lake, Savage, Chaska, and the southwest Twin Cities metro. Minnesota winters are among the most severe in North America, with polar vortex deep freezes routinely pushing outdoor temperatures down to -20°F and sustained wind chills plunging even lower along the Minnesota River valley. In this climate, a heating system is not a luxury—it is life-critical infrastructure that protects your family from hypothermia and prevents thousands of dollars in burst frozen water pipes. Owned and operated by master mechanical contractor Wil Fonder, Performance Mechanical delivers expert forced-air and hydronic heating solutions. Wil holds an AAS degree in HVAC/R System Servicing from Dunwoody College of Technology and completed a rigorous five-year apprenticeship with St. Paul Pipefitters Local 455. Whether you need rapid emergency furnace repair, a high-efficiency replacement, or hydronic boiler maintenance, we deliver honest diagnostics and exceptional craft. Call (213) 423-7827 to speak directly with Wil Fonder.
Forced-Air Gas Furnaces: Emergency Repair, Maintenance & Replacement
Forced-air natural gas furnaces are the primary heating source for most Shakopee homes. Performance Mechanical delivers end-to-end furnace servicing across all major brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, Rheem, York, and Goodman. Our mobile service vans carry OEM hot-surface igniters, flame sensors, 24V control transformers, pressure switches, and draft inducer motors to resolve no-heat emergencies on the initial visit. For aging or cracked heating equipment, we engineer complete furnace replacements featuring 96%+ AFUE two-stage and modulating furnaces. We perform ACCA Manual J load calculations to size equipment correctly, fabricate custom galvanized sheet metal supply and return transitions to maximize basement headroom, run two-pipe direct-vent Schedule 40 PVC through exterior rim joists, and complete all rebate paperwork for CenterPoint Energy and Xcel Energy CIP incentives ($400 to $600) and federal Section 25C tax credits ($600).
Hydronic Boilers & Radiant In-Floor Heating Systems
Unlike standard residential HVAC companies that only understand forced air, Performance Mechanical possesses elite hydronic boiler and hot-water radiant heating expertise backed by St. Paul Pipefitters Local 455 training. We service traditional cast-iron sectional boilers and modern high-efficiency condensing gas boilers (Lochinvar, Weil-McLain, Navien). We design and install in-slab PEX-A radiant floor heating for walkout basements, garage additions, and staple-up heat transfer plates for master bathrooms and main-floor tile. Our hydronic services include microbubble de-aeration using Spirovent air separators, bladder expansion tank pressure calibration, circulator pump zoning (Taco and Grundfos multi-speed ECM circulators), low-water cutoffs, and system water treatment to prevent iron oxide sludge buildup and corrosion.
Garage Unit Heaters & Outbuilding Climate Solutions
Transform your attached garage or detached workshop into a comfortable, heated workspace year-round. Performance Mechanical installs premium gas-fired unit heaters, including Modine Hot Dawg and Reznor low-profile hanging heaters ranging from 30,000 to 125,000 BTU. We specialize in separated-combustion models that draw 100% of combustion air directly from the outdoors through dedicated PVC or AL29-4C stainless steel pipe. This critical design prevents airborne sawdust, paint vapors, or flammable gasoline fumes in your garage from contacting open burner flames. We install rigid black iron gas piping tested to 30 PSI, wall-mounted digital thermostats, and sealed Category III side-wall power vents complying with NFPA 54 fire codes and Minnesota Mechanical Code requirements.
Commercial Heating: Packaged Rooftop Units & Make-Up Air
Performance Mechanical provides master-level commercial heating solutions for business owners, retail property managers, restaurants, and light industrial facilities across Scott County. We service packaged rooftop units (RTUs from 3 to 25 tons), performing combustion analysis, blower belt alignments, and heat exchanger crack inspections. For restaurants and commercial kitchens, we service direct-fired make-up air units (MAUs) featuring Maxitrol electronic modulation controls, ensuring tempered fresh air is introduced without freezing kitchen dish lines or creating severe negative building pressure. We offer flexible commercial preventive maintenance agreements that keep your tenants warm and prevent mid-winter operational disruptions.
Owner-Operated Service, Transparent Estimates & CenterPoint Rebates
Performance Mechanical LLC operates on the bedrock values of honesty, pride, and personal accountability. When you call (213) 423-7827, you speak directly with Wil Fonder.

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!

Furnace Diagnostic & Repair
“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!
