Knowledge is Comfort: Get Expert Tips on Efficiency, Maintenance, and Air Quality.

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.
