Urgent repair hours & area
- Monday–Saturday, 8:00 AM–7:00 PM (closed Sunday)
- Same-day appointments when available

What to do while you wait
- If the coil is iced or air is warm, turn cooling off to protect the compressor.
- Close blinds on sunny sides of the house; run ceiling fans.
- Check the breaker and outdoor disconnect once — don't keep resetting.
- Check on elderly family members and pets during heat waves.
Altitude & Front Range context
High-altitude sun is intense, and upper floors heat up quickly. Outdoor units work hardest on late-afternoon 90° days — which is when marginal capacitors and dirty coils usually fail.
Safety first: if you smell gas, leave the house now and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Don't flip switches or use your phone inside.
When to call a pro
- You smell gas or a burning/electrical odor (leave first if it's gas).
- The problem comes back after the safe checks above.
- Breakers trip again after one reset.
- You hear banging, grinding, or screeching from the equipment.
- Anything involves gas valves, refrigerant, or electrical parts inside the unit.
