The Boulder80308 calls we answer most often
If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Yellow or orange burner flame instead of steady blue

Musty or burnt smell the first time the system runs
Refrigerant leak at a flare or coil connection
Thermostat reading several degrees off from reality
Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode
Heating and air conditioning service built around Boulder
Homeowners across Boulder call us when the system simply will not keep up. Dry air, wide day-to-night swings and high altitude all change how combustion and refrigerant systems behave. That is why we staff a live dispatch line around the clock instead of routing you to a queue.
Because Colorado swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our Boulder calls come in the first hot or cold snap of the year — systems that sat idle for months and then get asked to run flat out.
The busiest week of our year in Boulder is the first stretch of sustained june weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

Boulder80308 HVAC questions, answered
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.
What brands do you service in Boulder?
All of them. Our 80308 technicians are trained on Lennox, Amana, Heil, Bryant and essentially every other residential brand sold in Colorado, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 80308?
A diagnostic visit in Boulder typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
Should I repair my system or replace it?
The usual rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a replacement and the equipment is over ten years old, replacement generally wins. We will run that comparison with you on site and show you the maths — and if the honest answer is a $180 capacitor rather than a $9,000 system, that is the answer you get.
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.
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.
