About This System
The Evolution 98 is the top of Bryant's furnace line. Instead of running flat-out and shutting off, it modulates its heat output in small increments, so it runs longer at lower, quieter capacity and holds your rooms within a fraction of a degree of the thermostat setting.
Paired with an Evolution Connex control, the furnace shares performance data with your Finken technician and manages humidity with a compatible air conditioner.

Heating & Cooling FAQs
How often should I service my furnace?
We recommend annual furnace maintenance, ideally before the heating season begins in fall. Regular tune-ups improve efficiency, extend equipment life, and help prevent unexpected breakdowns during Minnesota's cold winters.
Do you offer emergency HVAC services?
Yes, Finken provides emergency heating and cooling services across Central Minnesota. When your furnace fails on a cold winter night or your AC breaks during a heat wave, our technicians are available to help restore your comfort quickly.
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
If your AC is more than 10-15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills keep climbing, replacement is often the smarter investment. Finken technicians will assess your system honestly and walk you through both options, including current rebates and financing.
