About Furnace Repair Colorado Springs — Your Trusted Heating Partner
We are a family-owned furnace repair company based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Our entire business is focused on one thing: keeping homes and businesses warm at 6,035 feet elevation. We do not do air conditioning. We do not do plumbing. We do heating — and we do it right.
How We Started — And Why We Only Do Heating
Furnace Repair Colorado Springs was founded with a simple observation: Colorado Springs homeowners were struggling to find a heating company that truly understood what it means to operate a furnace at 6,035 feet above sea level. Most HVAC companies in the area split their attention between air conditioning, plumbing, electrical work, and heating. The result? Furnaces installed with sea-level orifices, gas pressures never adjusted for altitude, and combustion analysis skipped entirely.
We decided to do something different. We built our entire company around one discipline — heating. Every technician on our team is trained exclusively in furnace systems, boilers, heat pumps, and high-altitude combustion science. Every tool we purchase, every certification we earn, and every hour of continuing education is focused on keeping Colorado Springs warm.
Our office is located at 1342 Bates Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80909 — right here in the community we serve. We are not a national franchise. We are not a call center routing your request to a random subcontractor. When you call (719) 602-8787, you reach our team directly. When a technician arrives at your door, they work for us — not a third-party dispatch service.
This matters because furnace work at elevation is not the same as furnace work at sea level. The atmospheric pressure at 6,035 feet is approximately 11.8 PSI compared to 14.7 PSI at sea level. This 20% reduction in air pressure directly affects combustion efficiency, gas-to-air ratios, and heat exchanger performance. A technician who does not understand these differences can install a furnace that produces dangerous levels of carbon monoxide — even if the furnace itself is brand new.
That is why we exist. That is why we specialize. And that is why Colorado Springs homeowners and businesses trust us with their heat.
Our Mission, Values & Promise
Three principles guide every service call, every repair, and every interaction with our customers.
Our Mission
To provide Colorado Springs with the most reliable, honest, and altitude-competent furnace repair service available. We believe every home and business in the Pikes Peak region deserves a heating system that operates safely and efficiently at 6,035 feet — not one configured for a city at sea level. Our mission is to close that gap through specialized training, professional-grade tools, and a genuine commitment to doing the job right the first time.
Our Values
Honesty first. We tell you what is actually wrong with your furnace — not what generates the largest invoice. Altitude competence. Every repair includes proper high-altitude calibration. Transparency. We provide written estimates before any work begins, and our pricing is published on our website. Accountability. We follow up after every service visit to make sure the repair is holding and you are satisfied.
Our Promise
When you call Furnace Repair Colorado Springs, we promise: a real person answers the phone, a qualified technician arrives promptly, you receive an honest diagnosis and written estimate before any work starts, every installation and repair includes altitude calibration, all parts warranties are honored and documented, and we follow up after the job is complete. If your heat goes out at 2 AM on a Sunday, we answer. That is our promise.
Why Colorado Springs Needs Heating Specialists — Not General Contractors
At 6,035 feet, furnace repair is fundamentally different from what technicians learn in standard HVAC programs.
The Science Behind High-Altitude Heating
Colorado Springs sits at an elevation of 6,035 feet — over a mile above sea level. At this altitude, atmospheric pressure drops to approximately 11.8 PSI (compared to 14.7 PSI at sea level), and the air contains roughly 17.7% effective oxygen versus 20.9% at sea level. These differences have direct, measurable consequences for furnace operation.
According to ANSI Z21.47 and the International Fuel Gas Code, gas appliances installed above 2,000 feet must be derated by approximately 4% for every 1,000 feet of elevation. For Colorado Springs, that means a furnace rated at 100,000 BTU at sea level should be derated to approximately 76,000 BTU — a 24% reduction. Failure to account for this derating leads to incomplete combustion, elevated carbon monoxide production, premature heat exchanger failure, and significantly higher utility bills.
Most furnace manufacturers require high-altitude conversion kits for installations above 4,500 feet. These kits include smaller gas orifices, adjusted gas valve springs, and modified pressure switch settings. A technician who skips this step — or does not know it is required — creates a furnace that is fundamentally unsafe.
What We Do Differently
Every furnace we install, repair, or service in Colorado Springs receives a complete altitude assessment. We verify the orifice size matches the manufacturer's high-altitude specification. We measure and adjust gas manifold pressure using a calibrated manometer. We perform combustion analysis with a professional-grade analyzer to verify CO levels, O₂ percentage, stack temperature, and combustion efficiency. And we document everything — because your safety is not something we take on faith.
This is not an upsell. This is not an add-on service. This is what competent furnace repair looks like at 6,035 feet. Any company that skips these steps is cutting corners that directly affect your family's safety and your heating bill.

Certified, Trained & Altitude-Specialized
Our technicians earn their expertise through rigorous training and industry-recognized certifications.
Certifications & Training
Our team holds NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certifications — the industry's most respected credential for HVAC technicians. We maintain EPA Section 608 certification for refrigerant handling, and every technician completes manufacturer-specific training for the brands we service most frequently in Colorado Springs, including Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Rheem, Bryant, and York.
Beyond standard certifications, our technicians complete specialized high-altitude combustion training that covers the specific challenges of furnace operation at Colorado Springs' elevation. This includes hands-on training with combustion analyzers, gas pressure calibration, heat exchanger inspection techniques, and carbon monoxide safety protocols.
Professional Equipment
We invest in professional-grade diagnostic equipment that many general HVAC contractors do not carry. Our standard service toolkit includes calibrated digital manometers for precise gas pressure measurement, professional combustion analyzers that measure CO, O₂, CO₂, stack temperature, and efficiency simultaneously, infrared thermal cameras for detecting heat exchanger cracks and insulation gaps, and static pressure testing equipment for ductwork analysis.
This equipment is not optional at 6,035 feet — it is the minimum required to verify that a furnace is operating safely and efficiently. We carry these tools on every service call, not just when a customer specifically asks for a safety inspection.
