Thornton, CO — local facts

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

In Thornton the electric provider can change from one street to the next (Xcel or United Power), and that decides which heat pump rebate a homeowner can use.

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 5,210 feet.

Why it pays here

In Thornton the electric provider can change from one street to the next (Xcel or United Power), and that decides which heat pump rebate a homeowner can use.
