HVAC Services in Columbine

Columbine is an unincorporated community of about 25,000 people, mostly in Jefferson County with a sliver in Arapahoe County, stretching south toward Chatfield Reservoir. It grew fast between 1958 and 1968, when the Martin Company built its missile facility in Waterton Canyon, and its population first passed 20,000 in 1980. Most homes were built from the 1960s through the 1990s: brick ranches, split-levels, bi-levels and two-story Colonials around Columbine Knolls, Columbine West, Columbine Hills and Leawood.

That housing stock shapes the HVAC work. Furnaces in these homes have been replaced at least once, usually on original ductwork, and split-level and bi-level layouts are notorious for uneven temperatures between floors. Many central air systems were added after the homes were built, on ducts sized for heat. When a newer furnace or condenser struggles, the cause is often airflow, not the equipment.

Because Columbine has no city government, replacement permits come from Jefferson County Building Safety, or Arapahoe County for the few homes on that side. We handle the permit, run a carbon monoxide and combustion safety test on every furnace call, and give a flat-rate price before any repair.
