Cool Air. Hot Tech. Total Comfort.
We read the Indiana Energy Saver program pages line by line, and one phrase changed the advice. The state describes its $8,000 heat pump rebate as covering select, first-time upgrades. Nearly every guide we checked quotes the $8,000 and drops the phrase. Section 25C is gone too, so a 2026 install doesn’t qualify. Nobody loses … Read more
Last September we walked into a two-story home in University Hills two days before the season’s first hard freeze. The heat pump had run fine all summer, but nobody had looked at it since the homeowners moved in. Fifteen minutes into the inspection, we found the outdoor coil caked with a summer’s worth of cottonwood … Read more
Last August we hauled a window unit out of a Park Hill attic that weighed almost ninety pounds. It was cooling one bedroom for about forty dollars a month, and the homeowner had been wrestling it in and out of the frame every June since 2014. We replaced it with a slim ductless head on … Read more
Last winter we pulled a 14-year-old AC and gas furnace out of a Cherry Creek bungalow and put in a cold-climate heat pump with the existing gas held back as backup. Two months in, that homeowner’s combined heating and cooling bill landed about 22% lower than the prior year. Stories like that one are why … Read more
Most Denver homes need a MERV 13 filter for allergies and viruses. That’s the honest answer our techs give all spring and summer when homeowners ask what filter actually helps with pollen, pet dander, and the respiratory virus wave that hits every fall. MERV 13 catches fine particles in the 0.3 to 1.0 micron range. … Read more
Most of the no-heat calls we handle in January trace back to one part that fits in your palm: the blower motor capacitor. It costs $10 to $40. When it goes, your furnace keeps running but stops moving warm air, and most homeowners troubleshoot the thermostat first. Here’s what we know from the field. TL;DR … Read more
Your 22x22x1 MERV 11 filter is catching particles most homeowners have never thought about. Legionella bacteria. Auto emission particulates. Lead dust. That’s a longer list than a one-inch residential filter usually gets credit for, and if you’re running this filter in a Denver home, it’s worth knowing exactly what’s happening inside your system. Here’s what … Read more
A $700 repair bill on a 17-year-old furnace is rarely the last one. We’ve walked Colorado homeowners through this conversation hundreds of times, and the call almost always goes the same way: once you know what a full replacement costs, the repair math rarely holds up. Furnace replacement runs between $3,000 and $10,000 or more … Read more
Last week we pulled a filter from a home in Lakewood. Wrong size. The cardboard frame had a quarter-inch gap on two sides, which meant air was routing around the media instead of through it. The homeowner had been running that setup for two seasons and couldn’t figure out why the coil kept getting dirty. … Read more
Your AC dies on the hottest day of the year. That is not a hypothetical for Denver homeowners. It happens every summer on the Front Range, and when it does, you have one goal: find a local AC repair service that shows up fast, tells you the truth about what is wrong, and charges a … Read more
