I'm on my own now. Finally! Thanks to all the people that have used me over the years for their HVAC needs. You've guys have helped my daughter get her gymnastic lessons, bought groceries, baseball equipment for my son, and repaired my car when times where lean for me. Thanks for all your support! My family truly appreciates it.

I'm officially working for myself now and have more time to give during the days now, instead of coming in the evenings and weekends and as I've always been, I'm fully insured.

If you need a new furnace, A/C or just need it fixed let me know and we can discuss what needs to be done.

Prefer to stay in NoCo area down to around the Longmont area. I'm sometimes down in Denver area for a large customer I have down there, so I'm not opposed to coming down there, especially for larger jobs.

Thanks,

WTS my time. I am a licensed HVAC/R mechanic that is not liking sitting at home right now. Its been pretty slow lately and need to keep working while I'm still young [Weight]

If you need a new furnace, A/C or just need it fixed let me know and we can discuss what needs to be done.

Prefer to stay in No CO area but will travel for larger jobs.

Thanks

Its too bad you didn't post this a couple weeks ago, I may have been able to get you a job. I could've gotten you an interview at least, but I don't hire the techs. We just hired two guys so we are fully staffed right now.

A vent for what? Dryer vent, Furnace vent, bathroom vent?????

Does your client already have a swamp cooler and it needs to be replaced or is this a new install?

Anyone have some problems with their equipment let me know.

I also specialize in commercial refrigeration, so if anyone owns a restaurant or other food service company I can help you out as well.

I'm on the plains in Boulder County. I have to replace my furnace (home built in 89; original furnace, Lennox G16 Conservator III), and have been scolding myself for pushing things.

I'm pretty busy through Monday, but this is a placeholder to remind me to talk with you. I'd like to increase energy efficiency (I believe I'm at 80% now with the current furnace) but can't spend a stupid amount of money chasing a couple percentage points in efficiency.

Do you have any experience with the tankless water heaters like the Rinnai? I've been thinking about getting rid of the hot water tank and it wouldn't hurt having someone give me some ideas on what my options are.

I actually went to a Rinnai condensing boiler class. I would have to see what type of options there are for domestic hot water.

In my limited experience with tankless heaters I have seen them to be very expensive. We're talking thousands of $$$ installed compared to $750 for a tank water heater installed. The cost gets very large if you go up to a 90% efficiency. You start getting into different venting requirements with those.

The tankless is good if you use alot of hot water for instance a large family or a commercial application.

The rinnai condensing boilers are very high maintenance also. Unless you are using a lot of hot water and/or have some money to spend, I would recommend a standard tank water heater. There are also high recovery tank water heaters that are better on the pocket book when compared to the tankless.

I could shop around for some tankless options and see just how much they cost.

Thousands... Too rich for my blood.

I appreciate the information. My hot water tank is still working but I know nothing lasts forever. I keep hearing all of the hype on the tankless systems and it would be nice to get something that is efficient and takes up less space. Not worth it though in my house given the current house values.

Hope you stay on the board. If I need AC or heating work, I won't have to flip the yellow pages.

What would a furnace suitable for a 1400sqft house with a ~400sqft finished basement + installation run?

When we had ours serviced a partial crack in the heat exchanger was discovered. House built in 1995 to give you an idea of the system/ducting that's in place currently.

Yes and no. Yes I can run black pipe from your furnace room and stub it behind your stove, but most of the time people are using the flex gas line and I do not know how to use that. I know a plumber that does though.

bryjcom just left. He installed a new furnace, humidifier, filter setup, and thermostat today. No problems; did clean work. I'll recommend his work.

Want to get my system inspected before summer, rather pay someone that is not going to rip me off. (hope you won't, even though i don't know you)

And my parent's swamp cooler on their roof died last summer and they want it fixed.

PM answered. Sorry it took awhile. Been super busy with all the heat and humidity. Haven't had a chance to check the 'puter for a while.

By the way. The cotton wood has been blowing real bad and is plugging up the condensers. If anyone needs a A/C cleaning service let me know. Also good to make sure the charge is correct as well.

Hi Bryan, I've been thinking about calling around for prices on AC service (probably refrigerant top off) since the furnace blower seems to run way longer than necessary. Can you pm me if you are willing to stop by the Boulder / Superior area?

Skullworks
10-14-2012, 15:23
Since I'm likely out of range (mileage) Do you have anyone in the Springs area you might refer.

I have a Carrier Central Air unit for my shop that was clobbered in a hail storm earlier this year and the insurance adjuster basically said to replace the whole external unit. Since that storm even the fan has seized up. (not the interior blower, the one that cools the condenser coils)

As we head into late fall this is not a priority so if you wanted more info / pics etc and wanted to quote it as a day job that is good too.

To get an idea where I am, find where Calhan Hwy crosses Hwy 94 east of Colorado Springs.

I have my ac compressor unit outside but ABOVE MY FURNACE is the chiller/radiator and its of course enclosed. This summer I noticed rusty water dripping out of it and down the side of my furnace. I suspect the drain tube is clogged possibly with mice bringing insulation into it. It maybe getting too cold? Anyway, I would like to know what's up with it and if it can be corrected. The room it's in is tight, maybe 4ft by 3 feet and it has furnace, chiller, hot water heater and eltro-static filter. Is this something you might be interested in? I live near Bandimere/Red Rocks. P.m. me if this is something you might want to look at.

Figured I would drop some notes on Valley Heating and Air.

The place I work at was in need of some HVAC work. The guy they were currently using was a constant no show/no answer type of person. I told them I knew someone that would be there any time we need them to and they gave me the green light to get someone new. I called Bryan, he put us on the books, showed up on time and did an outstanding job. Everything from little filter changes/tune up's, to installing (4) new shop heaters.

+1 Highly recommended.

+1 for Valley and Bryan. I called this Tues PM and someone was here Thurs AM. I expected to be sweating a lot longer than basically a day. Only complaint was that another technician was sent instead of Bryan :-). I was looking forward to meeting another board member but can't complain with the quick and professional response!

I've been limping my builder-grade air conditioner a couple summers now, and once again this year, it didn't have any refrigerant at the start of the season. Called up Valley. One of Bryan's technicians was there promptly, gave me a charge to get me going, and then Brian came to do the leak detection. Found the leak right away, versus Swann, who claimed they couldn't find a leak last year, and that my system must have been low on coolant at the install.

Bryan gave me a realistic appraisal and several options for repair or replacement. I ended up gritting my teeth and having the whole furnace and AC replaced. They showed up when they said they would, completed a challenging job in a day, and now I don't have massive air leaks in my mechanicals room and the house seems a lot more level in terms of cooling.

Nothing but great things to say, and if you find yourself in need of HVAC services in the Northern Colorado area, Valley gets my full endorsement.
