Furnace Repair in Englewood

Arapahoe Acres, the mid-century modern neighborhood built from 1949 to 1957 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was designed with a combination of radiant floor heat and forced air. Homes like these may have more than one heat source, and the forced-air side is often a later replacement fitted into a space never meant for current equipment. We repair the forced-air furnace and tell you honestly if a problem belongs to a different system.

We pull the fault history from the control board, check gas pressure and the furnace's altitude setup (manufacturers require derating input about 4 percent per 1,000 feet, and Englewood sits around 5,350 feet), measure temperature rise and static pressure, and inspect the heat exchanger and flue. The diagnostic is free with the repair, prices are flat-rate and quoted before work begins, and there are no overtime fees. We carry parts for Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, Bryant, Rheem, and other major brands, and we offer same-day appointments when the schedule allows and emergency service 24/7.

Englewood's Building Division requires a Manual J load calculation and a Manual D duct design for all HVAC replacements or additions, effective July 1, 2024. In practice that means a new furnace has to be sized to your house, not just matched to the old nameplate. For many older homes that have been insulated and had windows replaced, the right furnace is smaller than the one coming out.

Xcel Energy is the gas and electric utility serving the city. Xcel's furnace rebate covers 95 percent AFUE or higher models that replace a non-condensing furnace, installed by a participating contractor. Income-qualified homeowners may also be eligible for the city's Energy Efficient Englewood grants, which cover projects including furnaces rated 93 percent or higher. City rebate programs require pre-approval before work begins, so apply first.

Repair if the furnace is in reasonable shape and the failure is a single component. Consider replacement when the heat exchanger is cracked, the furnace is past 20 years and needing repeated repairs, or the venting has to be redone anyway. Because of the Manual J and D requirement, a replacement here is a good time to fix airflow problems too.
