Our Story
Your Local Comfort Experts
Northern Standard Heating & Air was built on a simple belief: Twin Cities homeowners deserve an HVAC company that shows up, charges fair prices, and stands behind their work with a real warranty. Backed by decades of experience and a Dunwoody HVAC degree — this is what that looks like.
How We Started
Built on Trust, Grown by Results
Northern Standard Heating & Air was founded by Justin Fodor — a graduate of Dunwoody College of Technology with a Bachelor of Applied Science in HVAC, and decades of hands-on experience running a large commercial HVAC operation.
Justin started Northern Standard to bring that same level of expertise and accountability to residential customers in the Twin Cities — with honest pricing, certified technicians, and work backed by the best warranty in the market.
We're not a call center that dispatches strangers. We're a small, focused team that takes every job seriously — because your home deserves it.
“I started Northern Standard because I wanted to do this right from day one — real credentials, honest pricing, and work backed by a warranty most companies can't match. This is what HVAC service should look like.”
