Heating and air conditioning service built around Fort Collins
Most of the work we do in Fort Collins starts the same way: the system is running but the house is not comfortable. Before we replace anything, we measure airflow, static pressure and temperatures so you are paying for the actual fault.
Because Colorado swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our Fort Collins 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.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

Fort Collins80523 HVAC questions, answered
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.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 80523?
A diagnostic visit in Fort Collins 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.
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in Colorado, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
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 Fort Collins 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.
Why is my furnace short cycling?
Short cycling in Fort Collins most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Fort Collins 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.
