Services in Golden

Everything your Golden home needs

Golden’s housing is mixed: mostly 1970s–2000s, with a historic core where 7% predates 1940. Golden adopted a Wildfire Resiliency Code in 2026 and uses a 150 mph design wind speed, so smoke filtration and wind-rated mounting of outdoor units are real local concerns.

$150 – $900+

AC Repair

When the AC quits in Golden, the July average high is 86.9°F and the upstairs bedrooms go first. We diagnose the actual failure, quote a flat price before any work, and carry the common parts on the truck.

$150 – $1,200+

Furnace Repair

Golden plans around an average January low of 23.2°F. When the furnace stops, we find the failed part, give you a flat price before we start, and fix most problems on the first visit.

$3,800 – $10,000 installed

AC Installation

A new AC in Golden should be sized to your house at 5,666 feet, not copied from the old unit’s label. We run a load calculation, quote flat-rate, pull the City of Golden Building Division permit and handle the paperwork.

$3,500 – $8,500 installed

Furnace Replacement

Replacing a furnace in Golden means sizing for an average January low of 23.2°F, venting correctly at 5,666 feet, and pulling the right permit. We quote flat-rate, and the price we quote is the price you pay.

$6,000 – $15,000 before rebates

Heat Pump Installation

Cold-climate heat pumps work in Golden, including on an average January low of 23.2°F nights, when they are sized and set up correctly. We design the system, pair it with backup heat where it makes sense, and line up every rebate your address qualifies for.

$150 – $1,200+

Heat Pump Repair

Heat pumps in Golden run all year, heating in winter and cooling in summer, so they wear faster than a furnace or AC alone. We diagnose defrost, reversing valve, refrigerant and control faults and quote the fix before we start.

$900 – $2,800 installed (replacement)

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

No hot water in Golden? We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters, gas and electric, and handle the City of Golden Building Division permit when a replacement needs one.

Quoted per zone

Ductless Mini-Split Installation

Ductless mini-splits heat and cool rooms the central system never reached, such as additions, basements, garages and bonus rooms over the garage. We design by zone and install cold-climate models rated for Colorado winters.

Furnace tune-up $100 – $149; AC tune-up $100 – $129

HVAC Maintenance & Tune-Ups

Two visits a year keep a Golden system ready for a 86.9°F July and an average January low of 23.2°F. Our tune-ups include combustion and CO testing, electrical checks, coil cleaning and an honest report on what is actually wearing out.

Flat-rate, quoted before work
