Stay Cozy in Colfax All Winter
Most homes, both north and south of Railroad Avenue, have gas heating due to Colfax’s widespread natural gas access. Our team is skilled with the latest technologies, including gas furnaces, boilers for radiant heating, condensing furnaces, variable-speed air handlers, and more. Our technicians also work with hybrid systems that pair an electric heat pump with a furnace for more efficient heating.
Our Heating Technicians Do It All:
- Heating Repair: Heating troubles can range from inconvenient to downright dangerous. From freezing during a frigid January in Colfax to dangerous gases releasing into your home, call our team to make your home warm and safe again.
- Heating Installation: Professional sizing is crucial when upgrading your heating system. A heater that’s too small or too large will cycle irregularly and experience excessive wear and tear. A well-sized system will be energy-efficient and reliable for many years to come.
- Heating Maintenance: HVAC warranties usually require annual heating tune-ups, and they help you avoid many common repair issues. Clean heating equipment burns fuel more efficiently and costs less to operate. You can save even more as a member of the Hurlburt Family Rewards Program.
Personalized Home Cooling Solutions
While local homeowners once considered cooling a luxury, that isn’t the case any longer. Central AC is a convenient and practical choice for homes with ducts. For those that don’t, ductless AC is a much more effective and efficient alternative to clunky, energy-hogging window units.
We’ll Keep You Comfortable All Summer:
- Cooling Repair: Even minor issues can throw that efficiency out of whack and cause your costs to rise. Our technicians repair all makes and models.
- Cooling Installation: We can customize a wide range of cooling systems for your Colfax home. Zone control is a modern feature that can lower your energy costs. A mini-split is an alternative that doesn’t require ducts.
- Cooling Maintenance: Spring tune-ups result in reliable cooling, lower costs, and better indoor air quality. Our Hurlburt Family Rewards Program includes maintenance, discounts, priority service, and more.

Responded to no cooling condition on 1-year-old system experiencing repeat evaporator coil freeze-up. Upon arrival, found evaporator coil completely encased in ice with frost extending along suction line to outdoor compressor unit. Detected refrigerant leaks within indoor unit but unable to perform comprehensive leak detection due to extensive ice accumulation on coil assembly. Documented frozen coil condition and suction line with photographs showing heavy frost buildup on refrigerant lines in crawlspace and complete ice encasement of evaporator coil within air handler cabinet. System requires follow-up visit after coil thaw to conduct thorough leak detection and determine if failure is related to thermostatic expansion valve malfunction or evaporator coil leak.

Responded to a free second opinion call for a 6-year-old Lennox air conditioning system that had been experiencing refrigerant leak issues. Previous contractor had identified a leaking evaporator coil in the basement using UV dye, replaced the coil two days prior, but homeowner was concerned the system still had a leak. Upon arrival, performed visual inspection of both outdoor condenser unit and indoor components. Observed proper system operation with adequate cooling performance and noted frost accumulation on ductwork indicating normal refrigerant flow and heat exchange. Did not connect manifold gauges as this was a consultation visit only. System appeared to be functioning correctly at time of inspection with no obvious signs of refrigerant loss or performance issues. Advised homeowner that newly installed coil may need additional time for system stabilization and monitoring. Provided option for future leak detection service using UV dye inspection and refrigerant recharge if coolin

Ben W.
Responded to no cooling complaint on 15-16 year old Daikin mini split system in bedroom. Upon inspection, found heavily soiled blower wheel in indoor head unit causing restricted and inconsistent airflow. Connected manifold gauges and observed approximately 18 psi on suction side, indicating low refrigerant charge even accounting for reduced airflow from dirty blower wheel. Evaporator coil showed dust and residue accumulation, and refrigerant line connections displayed age-related corrosion and oxidation consistent with system age. Advised customer that blower wheel cleaning must be performed prior to accurate refrigerant charge assessment. Provided repair options including complete mini split head cleaning, refrigerant recovery and recharge to proper specifications by weight, and UV dye injection for leak detection. Coordinated service advisor visit for replacement system evaluation due to unit being out of warranty and age-related deterioration of components.

Responded to no cooling complaint on 8-month-old air conditioning system experiencing inadequate temperature reduction. Upon inspection, found unit operating with low refrigerant charge. Performed comprehensive leak detection procedures and identified active refrigerant leak at condensing coil. Photographic documentation captured severe corrosion on copper tubing with visible oxidation and surface degradation, along with frost accumulation on coil fins indicating restricted airflow and moisture exposure issues. Drain pan showed significant staining, organic debris accumulation, and evidence of prolonged moisture exposure. Temporarily recharged system to restore immediate cooling function; however, advised that this is a short-term solution as refrigerant will continue leaking. Strongly recommended immediate condensing coil replacement or full unit replacement given the age of equipment and severity of coil deterioration. Unit requires urgent attention to prevent complete system failure

Ethan S.
Responded to no cooling complaint on aging residential air conditioning system. Upon arrival, discovered outdoor condenser fan motor not operating. Investigation revealed wiring had dislodged from securing sleeve and became entangled around fan motor shaft, preventing rotation. Freed wiring from motor shaft and properly re-secured all wires away from moving components, restoring fan operation and system cooling capability. During diagnostic evaluation, identified multiple components showing signs of deterioration and impending failure. Condenser fan motor exhibited reduced RPM, excessive heat generation, and potential bearing damage from wire entanglement incident. Contactor measured low resistance at approximately 10 ohms with visible pitting on contact surfaces, indicating electrical degradation. Compressor demonstrated labored startup with abnormal sound characteristics, suggesting mechanical wear consistent with system age. Documented findings with photographic evidence showing o
