In Minnesota specifically: extreme cold. A failed furnace in subzero weather can quickly freeze pipes. Frozen vents and drains: Snow and ice block vents, and condensate lines can freeze.
Minnesota requirements vary; gas and some mechanical work requires state or local licensing, and permits are issued locally. Check with your city building department. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for furnace Repair.
Common systems in Minnesota: Gas furnaces, Cold-climate heat pumps, HRV ventilation, Humidifiers. Tell the contractor which one you have so they bring the right parts.

FAQ
Furnace Repair questions

Do heat pumps work in Minnesota winters?+
Cold-climate heat pumps can, but most homes keep a gas or propane furnace as backup for extreme cold.
What indoor humidity should I keep in a Minnesota winter?+
Lower humidity as it gets colder outside, often 25–35%, to avoid window condensation.
Why does my furnace turn on then off right away?+
The most common reason is a dirty flame sensor, which can't prove the flame so the board shuts the gas off. Other causes are a weak pressure switch or a blocked vent.
Is a cracked heat exchanger dangerous?+
It can be, because it may let combustion gases mix with house air. A tech will usually shut the furnace off and red-tag it until it is repaired or replaced.
