We’ve assisted homeowners for over 65 years and will proudly service your home as well.
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.
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.
Our plumbers encourage homeowners to schedule an annual plumbing inspection. It’s an opportunity to identify and correct issues early before they get serious. You can also explore the latest plumbing advancements and how they may improve your home.
Electrical inspections can find electrical hazards, code compliance issues, and inefficiencies. If you want to increase your home’s capacity for more appliances and electronics, fix electrical panels, or install new systems altogether, we’re the friendly team to call.
Let Us Maximize Your Home’s Safety and Energy Efficiency:
- Electrical Repair: Electrical problems pose serious risks, including fires, damaged appliances, and shocks. Don’t ignore warm outlets, flickering lights, or frequently tripped circuit breakers.
- Electrical Installation: If you have an older home, you might want to upgrade your outdated electrical panels. A modern panel makes a home safer and more efficient. We can upgrade capacity, add outlets, install lighting, and implement smart home solutions to bring your household into the future.

Responded to no cooling complaint on 14-year-old AC unit with reported loud knocking noise at startup and thermostat programming issues. Upon arrival, discovered property had separate thermostats for heating and cooling systems. Found analog heating thermostat dial set to 90 degrees, which was preventing cooling system from operating effectively. AC unit was cycling on properly but heat thermostat setting was overriding cooling function. Adjusted heating thermostat to lowest setting, verified AC unit engaged and began cooling properly. Confirmed system is now operating within normal parameters and providing adequate cooling to occupied space.
Responded to frozen pipe damage in shop area where 1/2-inch copper line separated at joint near house foundation due to winter freeze. Repaired frozen lawn faucet, replaced failed valve in garage that had blown off causing active leak, and completed small section repipe of affected copper lines. All repairs tested and verified leak-free with proper water pressure restored to affected fixtures.
Responded to no cooling complaint on residential air conditioning system. Found outdoor condenser coil heavily packed with debris causing high pressure lockout fault. Performed thorough coil cleaning to restore proper airflow and heat exchange. Reset tripped breakers and properly labeled electrical panel for future reference. System startup confirmed with 18-degree temperature split across evaporator coil, verifying restored cooling capacity and normal operation.
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
Responded to no-cool call on 26-year-old central air conditioning system. Upon inspection, discovered rodent damage to electrical wiring and a failed relay preventing compressor operation. Fan capacitor tested out of specification.

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
Completed comprehensive air conditioning tune-up on 8-year-old residential system with no prior known issues.

Discovered rodent infestation in compressor jacket with active mouse presence; removed compromised jacket, extracted chewed insulation and debris (pine needles) from condenser area surrounding compressor, and disposed of damaged materials. Cleared condensate drain line and installed new air filter. System operating properly with 22-degree temperature split across evaporator coil, confirming optimal cooling performance.
Responded to no cooling complaint on system with thermostat installed in November. Verified thermostat settings and provided operational instruction on basic functions. Diagnosed system tripped on low pressure safety due to complete refrigerant loss from leaking evaporator coil. Documented conditions with photos showing mold growth on wooden trim and corroded metal surfaces indicating moisture issues related to the failing coil. Prepared estimate for evaporator coil replacement to restore system operation.
Responded to water softener leak issue. Successfully replaced faulty drain adapter on softener unit, eliminating discharge leak and restoring proper system operation.
Responded to urgent alert on Lennox communicating system displaying error code 163, indicating communication failure between thermostat and outdoor unit. System was still operational and providing cooling despite the alarm.
