Everything homeowners ask us.
Grouped by topic, from water heater issues to pricing and service areas.
Water Heaters
How do I know if I need to replace my water heater or just repair it?
If your unit is over 8 to 10 years old or the tank itself is leaking, replacement is usually more cost-effective. We give you an honest recommendation either way.
How long does a water heater last in Colorado?
Tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. Front Range hard water and sediment buildup can shorten tank life, which is why annual flushing matters.
Why is my water not hot?
Common causes include a faulty thermostat, sediment buildup, a failing heating element, or a pilot light issue. We diagnose the exact cause and get your hot water restored fast.
Do you install tankless water heaters?
We focus on tank water heaters, gas and electric. It's what we do best, and it keeps our replacements fast and reliable.
How long does a water heater replacement take?
A standard tank replacement is usually done in 2 to 3 hours from the time we start, assuming the new unit is on hand.

Yes, these are two of our most common calls. Most faucet and toilet repairs are completed same-visit with parts on hand.

HVAC
Why is my AC not cooling?
Common causes include a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, thermostat issues, a frozen evaporator coil, or a failing compressor. We diagnose quickly and service all major brands.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
It could be a thermostat setting issue, a dirty filter restricting airflow, a pilot light that's gone out, or a malfunctioning flame sensor. We troubleshoot and get your heat restored.
