Experienced HVAC Repair in Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 - Altitude Plumbing & Heating

A thorough plumbing inspection by our team checks for issues like poor drainage, leaks, or venting problems that can increase indoor humidity. Excess humidity forces your AC to work harder, which can lead to dirty condenser coils and reduced efficiency. By ensuring your plumbing system is functioning correctly, we help maintain an optimal environment for your HVAC system to operate efficiently and last longer.

Yes, that's a common problem in our area. Many homes in Glenwood Springs have systems that are either too large or too small for the space. An oversized unit short-cycles, failing to dehumidify properly and leading to coil issues, while an undersized unit runs non-stop. Part of our service includes evaluating your current system's capacity against your home's specific layout and insulation to determine if improper sizing is causing your discomfort and high energy bills.

The unique combination of pollen, dust, and occasional wildfire smoke in the Roaring Fork Valley can rapidly coat condenser coils. Dirty coils act like insulation, forcing your system to work harder and use more energy. We recommend a professional cleaning at least once a year, typically in the spring before peak cooling season. During a routine inspection or service call, our technicians will check your coils and clean them to restore efficiency and prevent strain on the entire system.
