Okay, I Guess it’s Time to Turn it off.

So you are one of those residents of Colorado Springs that keeps their home’s air conditioning on until the absolute end of summer.  Even you have to admit that it is time to switch from a/c to heat!  In doing so, there some helpful tips that you should know before you shut off that air conditioning system until next summer.

Here are some of them –

1.  Is your thermostat outdated?
2.  Check for wear and tear in your duct work.
3.  Look at all of your home’s vents.
4.  Check the drain line.

I know, you don’t want to mess with your whole home air conditioning system in September.  Of course, you don’t have to, but you may be running the risk of a glitch on the first hot day of 2020.  We hope you’ll think of us for all of your home’s heating and air conditioning needs.  We are Altitude Heating and Air serving the Colorado Springs area at (719) 209-4955.

Repair it or Replace it…That is the Question.

If you live in your Colorado Springs home long enough your sump pump will eventually become an issue.  Many people in our area know that a sump pump is an essential plumbing fixture in their household.  In case you have taken it for granted, your sump pump prevents flooding by removing storm water that can accumulate in the basement of your home. 

“It” (Don’t be scared by the upcoming movie) is living alone in your basement in a bit of a hole and is called a sump pit.  It usually remains out of sight out of mind.  However, its task is immense.  It keeps running when needed to make a stand between your basement and the devastating aftermath of a flood that enters the rest of your beautiful home.

Before that emergency occurs, it may be time to decide if your sump pump needs to be repaired or replaced.  Unless you are a qualified plumber, you may not know.  Those that DO know in Colorado Springs are the sump pump troubleshooters at Altitude Heating and Air.  Give them a call for a thorough sump pump inspection at (719) 209-4955.
