Heating and air conditioning service built around Boulder
Nobody in Boulder wants to spend a day waiting on a technician with a four-hour window. We quote a 60-90 minutes target response time for this ZIP and hold crews locally so that number is realistic.
Homes in Boulder County tend to be a mix of older builds with original ductwork and newer infill construction, which means airflow problems show up very differently from one street to the next.
Peak cooling demand here runs June through August. Booking a tune-up in early spring means you are not competing with the whole neighbourhood for a tech in July.

Boulder80302 HVAC questions, answered
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Boulder see most often — but a firm price needs eyes on the equipment. Any company that quotes a final number without seeing the unit is usually quoting low to get through the door.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in Colorado is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Boulder is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in Boulder, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
How often should I change my filter in 80302?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Boulder with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
