The Florence81226 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.
Skyrocketing utility bills with no change in usage

Short cycling — on and off every few minutes
Furnace lights then shuts down after a few seconds
Pilot light or hot surface igniter failing repeatedly
Outdoor condenser humming but the fan not turning
Heating and air conditioning service built around Florence
If your high-efficiency gas furnaces with central air has started short cycling, blowing warm air or making a noise it never used to make, you are not alone — Florence generates some of the highest call volume we handle in Colorado. Dry air, wide day-to-night swings and high altitude all change how combustion and refrigerant systems behave.
A large share of the equipment we service in Florence was installed by a builder to a minimum spec. That usually means an undersized return, a cheap filter rack and a condenser sitting close to a wall.
Because Colorado runs high-efficiency gas furnaces with central air, the transition between seasons is when we see the most emergency calls — equipment that sat unused for months.

Florence81226 HVAC questions, answered
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Florence we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during June through August. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
How often should I change my filter in 81226?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Florence 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.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Florence we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
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.
What brands do you service in Florence?
All of them. Our 81226 technicians are trained on American Standard, Rheem, York, Mitsubishi Electric 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 quickly can a technician get to Florence?
For the 81226 service area our target response time is 90-120 minutes from the moment dispatch confirms your address. Real-world timing depends on the day — the first sustained heat or cold snap of the season is always our busiest period — but we hold technicians locally specifically so that window is achievable rather than aspirational.
