When is an Ideal Time to have Your Home’s A/C Checked?

Does it not seem a bit too early for such matters? Well, you can wait until April or May if you wish, but if you have lived in the Colorado Springs area for all four seasons, then you know how quickly things can change. When you need your home’s air conditioning working in tip-top condition you want it to be ready.

Aside from maximizing its peak performance when called upon, you may want to strongly consider how busy your favorite HVAC company is in March, for example. We don’t need to tell you that around here March is a whale of a lot less busy than December or July! Just something else for you to keep in mind.

Please call Altitude Heating and Air to prepare your Colorado Springs home that will sooner or later need cool comfort. Altitude Heating and Air is equipped to keep your home safe warm or cool this for many years to come.

I’m Melting.

It is very possible for your Colorado Springs home’s sump pump to quit working when snow is melting. This often happens because snow refreezes at night which may cause sump pump drain pipes to freeze. The pump may not be able to eject the water in the basement.

Around here snow falls and melts periodically. As soon as warmer temperatures arrive, even for a day or so, the thaw causes trouble for a lot of homeowners. Should you worry about your basement when the snow starts melting? Here is a benchmark…significant melting can happen all at once, especially after record snowfall!

Your sump pump is a vital lifeline to your home’s continued livability. That is why Altitude Heating and Air is ready when you need them. Altitude Heating and air is Colorado Springs’ expert sump pump repair and replacement company. See an example of their services at altitudehvacco.com. Call them at (719) 209-4955.

Guys and Gals, We Have a Long Way to Go.

We may be talking about Covid-19, but that is not the topic. The one sure thing around the Rockies is that there is plenty of winter ahead. Around here it can be beautiful just as long as you have a nice warm home to get back to. Your snug and cozy castle can make the difference in winter unless…something goes wrong with your furnace!

Here are some common problems this time of year –

1.  It is blowing cold air…it’s already cold enough, thank you.

2.  The rooms in your home are heating unequally.

3.  Excessive cycling…good for residents…NOT for the furnace when it shuts on and off.

4.  Carbon Monoxide…please, please have a detector installed!

5.  Your furnace simply will not turn on.

One thing to keep in mind with many months of cold weather ahead is that Altitude Heating and Air is always a phone call away. If you have furnace problems in the Colorado Springs area this or any other year call Altitude Heating and Air as soon as possible. See all that they do by visiting altitudehvacco.com.

Christmas is Still Christmas.

It is a famous line from the movie Miracle on 34th Street, but this year it takes on new meaning in the midst of this unique time in Rocky Mountain history. While things may be in transition at this time of year, we can always look back at the rich history of Christmastime in the greater Rockies.

The first Christmas celebration in Colorado happened just over 215 years ago, a few miles north of Salida near the mouth of Brown’s Canyon. Zebulon Pike and his 15 soldiers had a reason to celebrate. Even though they were very hungry, on Christmas Eve, they bagged no less than eight bison. They would truly enjoy a Christmas feast!

Times have changed of course, but even in the midst of today’s challenges we will find ways to celebrate Christmas with our families in Colorado Springs and the surrounding area. We here at Altitude Heating and Air your HVAC choice wish you and yours a very safe and especially healthy Christmas 2020 and a very Happy New Year.

Repair or Replace…That is the Question.

Sometimes it is hard to know if your water heater can be repaired, or it simply HAS to be replaced. Like most other things, if your water heater is regularly maintained and repaired when necessary it can last for many years. I would imagine that you had the same water heater working for you since you moved into your current Colorado Springs home.

 

Replacement over repair may occur if -

1.  It is over 15 years old.

2.  It contains a low volume of hot water.

3.  If you see corrosion around it.

4.  The water is discolored…a reddish hue.

5.  Enough with all of the repairs once and for all

The time may be nigh to finally replace that tired, old, overworked water heater. One of the best water heater replacement companies in Colorado Springs is Altitude Heating and Air. You can count on the plumbing and HVAC experts every time! See all of their services at altitudehvacco.com. Call anytime for emergencies or maintenance at (719) 209-4955.
