Dispose of Yucky Stuff.

During the summer months your garbage disposal may get quite a workout.  Kids are running in and out of the house and putting heaven knows what down the sink.  Are you ready for that?  Let’s start with the cardinal rule.  Never, never, never put your hand down the drain and come in contact with the disposal!

If the disposal will not turn on and it is not making a humming sound, then there may an electrical problem.  If it IS plugged in and is not turning try pressing the reset button.  You may have a stuck flywheel because something is lodged in it.  And then, there is the possibility that the unit is leaking.  That presents a whole new set of challenges.

We eliminate the guesswork.  Call Altitude Heating and Air Inc.  We are proud to be Colorado Springs experts in troubleshooting, repairing, or replacing your home’s garbage disposal.  For any plumbing problems that may occur in these busy summer months to come please keep our phone number handy (719) 209-4955.

Heating and Air Conditioning Installation.

As the seasons transition in the Colorado Springs area we can turn our attention to either/or…air conditioning and heating systems for your home.  For instance, installing a central air conditioning system should take two technicians six to eight hours to install.  Depending on the duct work, it could take a bit longer.

Knowing whom to hire to install your new system and the right one that fits perfectly into your castle are the paramount questions to ask.  Here is a review you might consider.  “We had our entire furnace replaced and new central air conditioning installed by this company. The level of professionalism and quality of work is something you don't see very often, these days.”

Wow!  Where did that review come from and to whom did it pertain?  It was written about Lonny and his crew at Altitude Heating and Air Conditioning.  It does not get better than that.  Altitude Heating and Air is one of Colorado Springs’ premier heating and A/C experts.  Give Lonny a call for an estimate at (719) 209-4955.

It’s Sump Pump Season!

When the rains come to Colorado Springs your sump pump becomes paramount.  The maintenance and repair of your sump pump is vital.  Your basement sump pump sits quietly all year, then comes the rainy season in the Colorado Springs area and suddenly it becomes the most important part of your home preventing basement flooding.

Here are some common checking tips for your sump pump: 

1.  Check the float.  This is where it all begins.

2.  Clean and scrape out the sump pit…removing loose items that have built up

3.  Check the impeller.  Debris goes through the screen and jams the impeller

4.  The electrical connection needs to be plugged in properly with no fraying in the cord.

These steps and more are something that a sump pump repair and replacement expert will perform.  We invite you to visit our brand new website at www.altitudehvacco.com.  Here, you will discover the variety of services that we provide in the Colorado Springs area.  Then give us a call for in-home service at (719) 209-4955.
