Air Conditioning Repair Colorado

Most HVAC contractors specialize in the installation and repair of units from a few manufacturers so no one business will carry every brand. Most HVAC shops are small, so the owner should be involved with the system design if you are replacing your unit and either participate actively in the installation or inspect it when it's done. Be sure to replace your furnace filters per the manufacturer's recommendations. Stir up breezes using a whole-house fan or ceiling fans; or circulate air using the "Fan Only" setting on your heating system. Whenever possible, avoid mid-day activities that add humidity to the air, such as washing and drying clothes.

• Get the Facts. Before you call an air conditioning contractor for repairs, know the model of your current system and its maintenance history.
• Check references. When your A/C is out you want it repaired fast. Make sure the air conditioning company you use has a reputation for timeliness.
• Get estimates. Air conditioner repairs can be expensive. Protect yourself from costly air conditioning repairs by getting at least three estimates.
• Penny Wise. If your AC unit needs replacing spend a little extra money now and get an energy-star unit. You'll thank yourself later with the money you save.
• Have Your Home Evaluated. A thorough air conditioning technician will assess the energy efficiency of your home before replacing your unit.
