HVAC Services in Durango, Colorado

Service is a large part of what we do, followed by new construction installation, replacement equipment and preventative maintenance.

We work on all types of forced air furnaces, wall heaters, console heaters including gas/ propane and electric.

We service, install, repair/ replace all types of central/ unitary cooling equipment including samp coolers, ductless split systems through the wall units (not window units).

We install both residential and commercial mini splits.

The most common reason for installing a ductless split system is in a home without central heat, followed by area/ spot cooling, or trying to get away from gas heating.

Heat pumps are typically installed as a primary heat source if they are cold climate certified. Otherwise they are used for shoulder season heating, typically down to around 25 degrees depending on the equipment.

Heat pumps are a great option for our climate but again, they should be cold climate certified.

We service all types of humidifiers. We only install steam humidifiers.

We offer pre-fabricated PVC type covers, as well as custom sheet metal covers fabricated in-house.

Covers are included on most exposed lineset installations mainly to hide for appearance, but protection is an added benefit.

Anywhere they are visually exposed and the customer does not want to see them

PVC type has limited color options. Metal covers have standard roof metal colors as well as custom rusted metal. Paintlock is also available for customers to have custom painted.
