According to a study of 6000+ homeowners, conducted by the Home Improvement Research Institute (HIRI), HVAC maintenance and repair was the third most required service after pest control and gardening. Given that HVAC breakdowns are frequently unexpected, it’s not uncommon for homeowners to choose whichever repair company they come across first in an emergency. However, the reality is technical skills, professionalism and prices differ in the HVAC industry, so there’s a risk that a last-minute choice might result in disappointment. Unlike some other companies in our sector, our engineers are certified by the most nationally recognized HVAC certification and training organization: NATE (North American Technician Excellence).
When choosing which HVAC company to hire, it’s essential you know how to determine whether their staff are reliable and qualified. Knowing how to ask the right questions is the most sure-fire way to eliminate any unqualified companies. Whether you’re in Colorado or out of state, make your search easier by downloading our guide to finding the right HVAC company.
Winter temperatures in Aurora average 23°F and exceed 90°F in summer, so maintaining a reliable HVAC system will secure your comfort year-round. Without one, there’s a risk of surprise breakdowns. If your setup isn’t running optimally, or fails altogether, you also risk:

Your health and wellbeing are directly linked to your home’s indoor air quality. Routine HVAC maintenance reduces the number of allergens and dust circulating around your ductwork and also improves your system’s overall performance.
Dry air also affects indoor air quality. It causes a range of minor, but irritating, ailments if left unchecked, such as:
In more serious cases, dry air aggravates bronchitis and asthma. It also damages your home’s interior, leading to:
Our guide, How to Fix Dry Air in your Home, includes helpful ideas for raising your home’s humidity, the benefits of humidifier units, and the signs of dry air at home.
Without a doubt, CO (carbon monoxide) poisoning is the biggest air quality issue all homeowners should protect themselves against. More than a third of carbon monoxide-related deaths happen between December and February as people close sources of ventilation, such as windows, to reduce drafts and increase warmth. Everyone should be familiar with the causes and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you aren’t, read our overview about carbon monoxide in homes.

HVAC setups get the heaviest use in winter and summer. We can inspect your system before the season starts, and repair and maintain any essential components. Our inspections cover:
For those looking to buy or sell a home, we also offer full HVAC inspections so buyers can be confident the setup is in safe working condition and are aware of any impending repair costs. The inspection typically takes less than three hours to complete and costs under $500. It is no surprise that replacing HVAC equipment is a formidable home expense.

We fix all types of ventilation and air transmission parts, from rigid and flexible ducts to seals and fittings. According to ENERGY STAR®, homeowners lose a third of their duct air to leaks. Fortunately, spotting ductwork leaks is easy.
We also offer duct cleaning services, which reduces allergens and airborne irritants, removes unpleasant smells and odors, and enhances air flow at home.
Is there a part of your home not currently serviced by your HVAC system, such as the attic or garage? If so, it’s not uncommon as areas like these are rarely large enough to accommodate traditional bulky ductwork, and are frequently used for storage instead. Fortunately, with ductless HVAC technology, which is more compact compared to older ductwork, you can now add heating or cooling to these spaces. According to a 2020 study by HomeLight, room conversion adds $10,000 to your home’s resale value. Considering ductless HVAC costs as low as $5,000, you won’t struggle to get back what you’ve paid when it’s time to sell your house.
Unsurprisingly, there’s no ductwork in a ductless setup, neither outdoors nor indoors. Instead, the system uses an indoor air handling unit and an outdoor compressor. The units are linked with a three-inch diameter conduit containing a drain line, refrigerant pipe, and cables for power and control. On average, this option takes only 1–2 days to install. From maintenance and repair to installation and construction, we offer a full range of ductless HVAC services.
The average age of Aurora real estate is 40 years old. Although solidly built, older properties frequently have higher maintenance costs. The American Society of Home Inspectors says that 30+ year-old homes require 3% of their original purchase price to maintain annually. For example, if you paid $100,000 for your house 30 years ago, you can expect to pay up to $3,000 per year to maintain it.
When you factor in that ductless uses at least 30% fewer watts per hour compared to ducted versions, and the 11.46¢/kWh average cost of electricity in Colorado, it’s easy to see how going duct-free can save you hundreds of dollars annually.
We repair, maintain, and install all types and makes of ductless HVAC units. To learn more about benefits and which homes are best for this option, we offer a guide for assessing your home's suitability for ductless.
