Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my HVAC system serviced in Colorado?
We recommend a minimum of two preventive maintenance visits per year: one for your cooling system (AC/heat pump) in the spring and one for your heating system (furnace/heat pump) in the fall to ensure optimal efficiency and safety.
What is a heat pump, and is it efficient in Denver's climate?
A heat pump heats and cools your home by transferring heat, rather than burning fuel. Modern, cold-climate heat pumps are highly efficient and are excellent, energy-smart solutions for the Denver area's fluctuating temperatures.
How can I save money on my energy bill?
Start with an energy-efficient upgrade like a smart thermostat, and ensure you have consistent preventive maintenance. Sealing leaky ducts and upgrading to a high-efficiency system also provide significant savings.
How long does a typical AC unit or furnace last?
With proper HVAC maintenance, most furnaces last 15-20 years and AC units last 10-15 years. Consistent maintenance is key to hitting the higher end of this range.
What does "Indoor Air Quality" involve?
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) includes filtration (like high-MERV filters), purification (like UV lights), and humidity control (whole-home humidifiers) to remove pollutants, allergens, and moisture issues from the air you breathe.
Why are ductless mini-splits a good choice for additions or garages?
Ductless mini-splits provide targeted, independent heating and cooling to specific zones without the need for extensive (or any) ductwork, making them highly efficient and cost-effective for individual areas.
Do you offer financing for new HVAC installations?
Yes, we partner with reputable financing providers to offer flexible options that allow you to invest in a new, high-efficiency system without straining your immediate budget. See our Specials Page for details.
My AC is blowing warm air—what should I check first?
First, check your air filter to ensure it's clean. Next, check the settings on your smart thermostat. If those look good, it likely indicates a refrigerant leak or compressor issue and requires professional AC repair service.
Are your technicians certified and insured?
Absolutely. All Everthrive technicians are fully certified, licensed, and insured, providing you with peace of mind and the assurance of professional, high-quality work in your Denver home.
