Maplewood: East St. Paul Suburb in Ramsey County
Maplewood is a first-ring suburb directly east of St. Paul in Ramsey County, home to 3M's global headquarters and a mix of residential neighborhoods built primarily in the 1950s–1980s. Located along the I-94 corridor, Maplewood experiences full Twin Cities metro winters — sub-zero temperatures, 7,800+ heating degree days, and heating seasons running October through April. With much of the housing stock now 40–70 years old, Maplewood is prime territory for furnace upgrades.

Older Home Upgrade Considerations
