Denver residents know exactly what winter can bring—icy conditions, piles of snow, and of course, frigid temperatures. Your heater is working overtime to help keep you and your family warm, but snow and ice can potentially cause some problems for your system.

The days when you could just open a door or window to let in fresh air are gone, so it’s time to make sure you maintain good air quality. You’re going to be spending more time indoors and breathing in the recirculating air, so it’s even more important to make sure that the air you’re breathing is clean. Here are a few tips for coping with life indoors.

That’s right. We said air conditioners. As the weather turns cold, it may seem strange to think about air conditioning, but there are a few good reasons to invest now. We’ve put together a list of some of the advantages of buying a new air conditioning unit in the fall, as opposed to waiting until the weather is warm.

It’s getting into the colder months of the year, and it’s important to make sure your heating system is working correctly. We’ve put together a list of the most common heating system problems. Knowing what they are and how they occur can help you possibly avoid them in the future.

The evaporative cooler, colloquially known as a swamp cooler, is a type of air conditioner that works well in the hot, dry air of Colorado and the Southwest. This method of pushing air over water to create a cooling effect has even been used by ancient Egyptians who hung wet blankets over doors or had servants wave fans over jugs of water.

Whether you live in the sweltering heat or in a veritable icebox, maintaining your HVAC system is critical to staying comfortable. There are a lot of things you can take care of yourself with regards to maintenance, but there are some things you should leave to a professional. Here are some tips for when to DIY and when to give us a call.

So, it’s time to buy a new water heater. Perhaps it’s past its recommended lifespan, or maybe your energy bills are too high. Either way, when you’re shopping for a new water heater, there are a few factors to consider.

Heating and cooling your home is a necessary expense to maintain comfort, so it’s important that the expense is not wasted. When the house is not sealed up properly, warm air can come in during the summer, and cold air will come in during the winter, causing your energy bills to skyrocket.

Fall is the perfect time to check for air leaks so that your home is comfortable and energy efficient by the time winter arrives.

Having a home requires a lot of maintenance, and one of the areas that requires upkeep is your HVAC system. When not properly maintained, your system can become inefficient and have poor performance. One task that you can take on to help your HVAC system is to change the air filter.

As summer starts to come to a close, we start dreaming of cooler weather, which means it’s time to start thinking about your winter heating needs. You wouldn’t let your car go without inspections and oil changes—treat your HVAC system the same way.

Your HVAC system for heating or cooling requires regular maintenance, and while the repairs should be left to us, there are steps you can take to assess if there are any problems that need to be addressed. It may seem early, but it’s better to catch problems before you lose functionality in the middle of winter when you need the heat.

Your cooling system may be running great, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that your heating system is. In the off time during the spring and fall months, elements of your heating system may stop working. Here are a few simple steps you can take to assess if your heating system is working properly.

HVAC units are always an investment, so it is important to maintain them for as long as possible. No one wants to have to go through the hassle of replacing their unit. However, there comes a time when it becomes more cost-effective to replace the unit than to keep doing repairs. If you aren’t sure if your HVAC unit is worth saving, this quick guide can help.

One question we keep getting asked is: What are some of the common types of HVAC systems that could work for me? This post is meant to answer this question for all our inquisitive customers.

Energy efficiency is the name of the game for modern HVAC systems. It’s one of the few excellent reasons why a homeowner would look to replace the system they already have in place completely. But, there are many ways a conscientious homeowner can make their older units perform better and keep their monthly bills down at the same time.

Diagnosing Your Own HVAC Issues

Working in the business for over 30 years has taught me a thing or two about HVAC companies. Some will only try to sell you new equipment even when your old HVAC system just needs minor repairs. While it's certainly sometimes the right choice to upgrade your HVAC system if it's bleeding you dry each month on your utility bills, sometimes all you need is a small repair. If your HVAC system doesn't seem to be working properly, there are a few things that you can check.

With summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to ensure your residential A/C is working just fine.

Do you think to get the AC system repaired early or before summer is foolish? Perhaps you think your AC system doesn’t need it. You’ll get it inspected when there’s a need, right?
