Straight answers — costs included — to the things Front Range homeowners actually ask us. If yours isn't here, call or email and a human will answer it.
Our diagnostic visit is $85. A tech finds the actual cause — measured, not guessed — and you get an exact quote for the repair before any work starts. No surprise line items.
A seasonal tune-up is $149: full system inspection and safety check, coil and condensate drain cleaning, refrigerant charge verification (AC), electrical and capacitor testing, filter check, and thermostat calibration. Spring for AC, fall for heating — details on the maintenance page.
The plan is $168/year and covers both seasonal tune-ups — $84 a visit instead of $149 — plus priority scheduling in between. If you'd book both tune-ups anyway, the plan is simply the cheaper way to do the same thing.
Yes — financing on installations is available through GoodLeap, with monthly payment options, subject to credit approval. More on the rebates & financing page.
The honest answer: it depends on the season and the day. Our online booking page shows our real open time slots, so you can see availability yourself in about a minute — or call (970) 408-9473 and we'll fit you in as early as we can.
We're based in Frederick and serve the northern Front Range: Frederick, Firestone, Dacono, Erie, Fort Lupton, Longmont, Brighton, Thornton, Broomfield, and Lafayette — across Weld, Adams, Boulder, and Broomfield counties.
Yes. Longview Heating & Air, LLC is a licensed and insured HVAC contractor, and the owner is on the jobs — no anonymous subcontractors. More about how we work on the About page.
Yes — we repair and maintain all major equipment brands. Whoever installed it, we can work on it.
Ice on the lines or coil almost always traces to airflow (usually a clogged filter) or low refrigerant from a leak. Turn cooling off, let it thaw, replace the filter — and if it refreezes, stop and get it diagnosed before the compressor pays the price. Full walkthrough: why ACs freeze up.
Thermostat mode and setpoint, filter, breakers, and whether the outdoor unit is actually running. If the outdoor fan hums but won't spin, a failed capacitor is the most common culprit — that's a service call, not a DIY fix. Checklist: AC not cooling.
Typically 12–15 years on the Front Range. Dry air is kind to them; hail, heat, and skipped maintenance aren't. Past that age, put major repair money toward replacement instead.
Around 15–20 years with maintenance. Colorado furnaces run long seasons, so neglect ages them fast — and builder-grade units in newer subdivisions often hit major failures at 8–12 years, earlier than owners expect. Costs and options: furnace replacement guide.
Short cycling usually comes from overheating (start with the filter), a dirty flame sensor, or an oversized furnace. Simple causes first — the full list is in our short-cycling guide.
Multiply the system's age by the repair cost: under about $4,000 favors repair, over about $6,000 favors replacement, and repair history breaks ties. Full walkthrough and calculator: repair or replace.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps do — they're rated to produce meaningful heat well below zero, and a dual-fuel setup keeps a gas furnace as backup for the deepest cold snaps. They also replace your AC entirely, which is why 2026's rebates make them worth pricing.
For 2026: Colorado's $1,000 state heat pump credit, plus utility rebates that depend on your address — Xcel's cold-climate program, or United Power's co-op rebates for much of the Carbon Valley and Fort Lupton. The federal 25C credit ended December 31, 2025. Everything's laid out on the rebates page.
Yes — light commercial across the northern Front Range: rooftop units (RTUs), makeup air units (MAUs), and preventive maintenance programs. See commercial services.
We do. It's genuinely worth it after construction or remodeling, when ducts have never been cleaned, or when there's visible dust and debris at the registers — and it's not a cure-all for allergies or high bills. We'll tell you honestly which case yours is: air duct cleaning.
Yes — we install and configure them, wire them correctly (including the common C-wire issue in older homes), and set schedules that match how you live. If you heat with a heat pump, we'll set it up so setbacks don't trigger expensive backup heat.
Both. We service and winterize evaporative (swamp) coolers — still common in older Front Range homes — and we diagnose, repair, and maintain gas fireplaces.
Call, email, or book online — a human answers, and it's usually Ivan.
