Sammons Mechanical | Professional HVAC Services in Trinidad, CO

Warning signs include a yellow or flickering burner flame (it should be blue and steady), soot or staining around the furnace, excessive moisture on windows, and a persistent, unusual odor. Most importantly, if your carbon monoxide detector alarms, evacuate immediately and call 911. For peace of mind, our technicians perform comprehensive safety inspections that include checking heat exchangers for cracks and ensuring proper venting—common sources of CO leaks in local homes.

Our high plains dust and pollen can quickly clog the outdoor condenser coil. A dirty coil forces your AC unit to work much harder, leading to higher energy bills, reduced cooling power on hot days, and a shorter system lifespan. Regular professional cleaning is a key part of preventative maintenance. We remove debris and ensure proper airflow, which helps your system run efficiently and reliably, preventing unexpected breakdowns during our hottest summer months.

We recommend a bi-annual maintenance plan tailored to Trinidad's climate. In the fall, we focus on your heating system: checking for carbon monoxide risks, cleaning burners, testing safety controls, and ensuring proper ventilation. In the spring, we service your cooling system: cleaning those crucial condenser coils, checking refrigerant levels, and calibrating thermostats. This proactive approach catches small problems before they become expensive repairs or safety hazards, ensuring year-round comfort and efficiency.
