I Didn’t Ask for a Cold Shower.

So, you are increasingly having trouble getting hot water while taking a shower.  Now, usually you’d blame this on the hot water heater.  You have become increasingly aware that you’re getting plenty of hot water everywhere else around your Colorado Springs area castle.  It COULD BE that the anti-scald device is too high, or there’s a bad shower mixer valve.

If it happens to be an incorrectly set scald device, then you could take the handle or head off.  Turn the device to the right and check the temperature.  If your shower mixing valve is the root of the problem, then a disassembly of the entire unit may be necessary and you may want to take off your DIY hat and call a professional.

The professional plumber to call in the Colorado Springs area is Altitude Heating and Air for your plumbing, air conditioning, and home heating needs.  Altitude Heating and Air is almost always the right choice before you roll up your sleeves and perhaps make things worse.  In Colorado Springs rely on Altitude Heating and Air at (719) 209-4955.

How Did you Finish the End of the Summer of 2019?

It’s hard to imagine that another summer will soon be upon us here in Colorado Springs.  As it pertains to your HVAC system, the decision-making process of transitioning seasons becomes important.  Unless you’re a trained HVAC technician, it can be tough to tell whether a malfunctioning A/C needs new batteries in the thermostat or a more extensive repair.

Here are some signs to look for now –

1.  Your air conditioner is more than 10 years old.

2.  Last summer it started to become cranky.

3.  Energy bills are way up.

4.  R-22 Freon…no longer available in the U.S.

We’ve Got a Ways to go Boys and Girls.

If your aging furnace didn’t keep your Colorado Springs home comfortably warm during the winter, it’s a good time to seriously consider replacing it.  Why replace a furnace now rather than waiting until the fall of 2020?  Because upgrading your heating system in the spring offers some big benefits.

HVAC contractors are slower this time of year.  Now is the time to do some comparison shopping before deciding on that new heating system.  You can plan your home’s budget much easier by “pulling the trigger” this time of year.  It is logical to assume that your furnace is not going to heal itself this summer!

For these and other reasons why you should replace your furnace in the spring, please contact us at Altitude Heating and Air.  We will give you the whys and the wherefores on the subject and you will hear it from the very best in the HVAC business in Colorado Springs.  We are Altitude Heating and Air.  Please call us at (719) 209-4955.     

Tanks…or No Tanks.

Pardon the grammar.  It isn’t what you think it is.  This is about the virtues of a Tankless water heater in your Colorado Springs home.  It boils (no pun intended) down to one major question.  Is a tankless water heater worth the money?  Let us throw this important point at you.  Tankless water heaters actually save you bucks in the long run!

Please understand that tankless water heaters may cost three times more than conventional ones.  You have to ask yourself…is it worth starting your day trying to get ready for work and getting a cold shower because someone else used all the hot water?  It takes a good amount of time for the tank to fill back up, turn on the burner, and heat the water.

Tank or tankless…that is the question.  Whatever the answer, it is easy to decide who should install it in the Colorado Springs area.  That answer is always Altitude Heating and Air serving the HVAC and plumbing needs of our area for many years.  If you seek professional water heater installation, call Altitude Heating and Air at (719) 209-4955.
