Mound sits on the western shores of Lake Minnetonka in Hennepin County — a charming lakeside community with a mix of older cottages, updated lake homes, and newer construction. The Lake Minnetonka area brings premium contractor rates and Minnesota winters that are fully unforgiving. Here's what furnace replacement actually costs in Mound in 2026.
Average Furnace Replacement Cost in Mound MN
