Furnace Repair in Frederick

Most homes built in the 2010s and later, in subdivisions across town from Wyndham Hill to Hidden Creek, have 90%+ condensing furnaces with PVC intake and exhaust. The leading causes of no-heat calls on these units are clogged condensate traps, condensate lines that freeze where they run near an exterior wall, and failed condensate pumps in finished basements.

Vent pipes come next. Sagging horizontal runs can hold water and trip the pressure switch, and side-wall terminations on open lots can be blocked by drifting snow. After a windy storm, check that both PVC pipes outside are clear before calling.

Frederick started in 1907 as a coal town, and the Frederick mine operated until 1960. Older homes in the original town and in Evanston, an unincorporated section within town limits, may have mid-efficiency furnaces venting through metal flues or old chimneys. We check draft, flue condition and combustion air on these homes.

Larger homes on acreage, such as parcels at Nelson Lakes and in Rinn Valley Ranch, often have more than one furnace or a zoned system. Zone dampers and controls add their own failure points, and we test them along with the furnace. A zone that never warms up is often a stuck damper motor rather than a furnace failure, and finding that saves an unnecessary parts replacement.

Stored fault codes come first; then we watch the furnace step through its startup sequence and check every safety device. Then we take gas pressure, temperature rise and static pressure readings and analyze combustion and carbon monoxide. Trucks are loaded with parts for the brands builders and installers used most, among them Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, Bryant and Rheem.

You'll see a flat-rate price before we begin. Night and weekend calls are billed at the same rates, the diagnostic is free with an approved repair, and we take emergency calls around the clock.

A single failed part is a repair, even on an older furnace. A failed heat exchanger, poor combustion numbers or several major failures at once usually point to replacement, and we'll give you prices for both.

The Town of Frederick has adopted the 2024 International Residential, Mechanical, Fuel Gas and Energy Conservation codes, along with the Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code, so a replacement has to meet current requirements. The town's welcome kit lists Black Hills Energy for natural gas and United Power for electricity; check both for current rebates, particularly if you're considering a heat pump to pair with a gas furnace.
