Boulder HVAC Repair Services
Some heating and cooling repairs can’t wait until tomorrow. If your furnace goes out in the middle of a winter night, you need help fast. That’s why we have technicians on call at all hours, including weekends and holidays. Some of the common components our team fixes include thermostats, electrical connections, pilot controls, burners, and heat exchangers.
Often, a system will give you indications of a problem before outright failure. One of the most common is rising energy costs because malfunctioning systems tend to use more electricity and fuel. That’s why experts encourage homeowners to monitor their energy bills and even consider investing in a thermostat with energy monitoring. Another common problem is reduced comfort. You may notice weaker airflow from your vents or warm or cold spots in a room. These are signs that you should schedule us for a preventative diagnostic.
Heating and Cooling Installations
For customers who need to replace an old furnace, a dual-fuel heat pump is an intriguing alternative. Also called hybrid heating, these systems have a furnace and a heat pump. A heat pump is similar to an air conditioner and can cool your home. Heat pumps can also provide heat and do so more efficiently than a furnace much of the time. They do have a cold-temperature threshold at which they’re no longer efficient. When the ambient temperature reaches an extremely low point, the system disables the heat pump and enables the furnace.
An alternative for customers who don’t need or want the cooling is a high-efficiency furnace. A standard gas furnace has an 80 AFUE rating. High-efficiency furnaces have ratings as high as 98.5. That can make a tremendous difference in your heating bill. You may be able to save even more through a rebate and tax credit.

Higher Energy-Efficiency With Seasonal Maintenance
Preventative HVAC maintenance can save homeowners and businesses a significant amount of money. We recommend a tune-up in the spring and the fall. Many warranties require it. Tune-ups help to avoid many common repair issues. Maintenance improves efficiency and lowers operating costs. It also helps to extend the life of the equipment.
Tune-ups generally involve a multipoint inspection. Our technician will clean all the equipment to remove any grime and microbial growth. We’ll correct wear and tear. That can include tightening electrical connections and lubricating moving parts. If necessary, our technician will recommend preventative repairs. Replacing a worn belt now, for instance, will be cheaper and less of a hassle than waiting for it to fail.
