Give Me Good Ventilation.

If your Colorado Springs home could talk it would tell you that (it might also say “pick up your socks”!).  Ventilation refers to the exchange of indoor and outdoor air. Without proper ventilation, an otherwise insulated and airtight house will seal in harmful pollutants, such as carbon monoxide.

Whole house ventilation entails using one or more fans and duct systems to exhaust stale air and supply fresh air into the house.  Whole-house ventilation systems provide controlled, uniform ventilation throughout the house.  Balanced systems include both exhaust and fresh air intake components.

Sump Pumps in the Rockies.

No, this is not an obscure John Denver song.  It’s about having and maintaining a sump pump in the Colorado Springs area.  In The Rocky Mountain State, most homes have basements. A growing number of homeowners are also expanding their living area into the basement.  It can be frustrating completing your new addition, only to have it flooded a few short months later.

Sump pumps are usually hardwired into a home’s electrical system and, occasionally have a battery backup.  In homes with finished basements, a homeowner may also decide to have a second sump pump as a backup.  Since water may begin to overflow if not constantly pumped, a backup system should be considered for prolonged power outages.

What is right for your Colorado Springs home?  Let us help you determine that with an in-home visit from sump pump installation and maintenance professionals Altitude Heating and Air.  Together, we can give you 2020 flooding vision in the New Year!   One sump pump or two?  Just call us at Altitude Heating and Air (719) 209-4955.
