Heating and air conditioning service built around Fort Collins
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 — Fort Collins 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.
Homes in Larimer 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.
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 Collins80525 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.
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.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Fort Collins 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.
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.
