Denver, CO — local facts

HVAC Maintenance & Tune-Ups in Denver: what’s different here

Denver’s pre-1940 housing means boilers, gravity furnaces, chimney-vented water heaters and houses with no ductwork at all show up far more often than in the suburbs.

Fall visit

Before the first freeze we test combustion and CO, check the heat exchanger, clean the flame sensor and verify the igniter.

Spring visit

Before cooling season we clean the condenser coil (cottonwood fluff and dust are the big clog here), test capacitors and check refrigerant against altitude-corrected targets for 5,280 feet.

Why it pays here

Denver’s pre-1940 housing means boilers, gravity furnaces, chimney-vented water heaters and houses with no ductwork at all show up far more often than in the suburbs.
