Heating and air conditioning service built around Fort Collins

Fort Collins80526 HVAC questions, answered
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.
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.
How quickly can a technician get to Fort Collins?
For the 80526 service area our target response time is 60-90 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.
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.
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 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.
