HVAC in Erie, CO

Locally owned and operated since 2012, with a 5-star average across 280 Google reviews.
A furnace that stops during a January cold snap is the call we drop everything for. We take after-hours and weekend calls from Erie addresses, and when we arrive we diagnose the actual failure, whether that is an ignitor, a pressure switch, a flame sensor, a bad inducer motor, or a blower that will not start, and we tell you what the repair costs before we do it. If the part is on the truck, the heat is usually back on the same visit.
- Before we get there, a few things are worth checking, and any of them can save you a service call:
- Confirm the thermostat is set to heat and the temperature is above the current room reading, then replace the batteries.
- Check the breaker for the furnace and the on/off switch on the unit itself, which is easy to bump in a mechanical room.
- Pull the filter and hold it to the light. A filter packed solid will shut a furnace down on a limit switch.
- If the air conditioner is running but not cooling and you can see ice on the coil or line, shut the system off at the thermostat and let it thaw before we arrive.
HVAC repair in Erie, CO, service by service
Erie calls come in across the whole system, not just the furnace. Here is the work we are called out for most and what a visit involves.
Furnace repair and installation
Short cycling, cold air from the vents, a furnace that ignites and drops out, a loud rattle on startup, or a unit that has stopped responding to the thermostat entirely. We diagnose, quote the repair, and give you the honest comparison when a 15-year-old unit is not worth another part. On a replacement we size the system to the house and handle the permit and inspection.
AC repair in Erie
Warm air from the registers, an outdoor unit that hums but will not start, a frozen coil, water around the air handler, or
a system that runs all afternoon without pulling the house down to setpoint. We check refrigerant charge, capacitors, contactors, the condensate line, and airflow before recommending anything, because low charge is a symptom and a leak is the problem.
Heat pump repair and installation
Heat pumps do well in the Front Range climate and they are the equipment most Erie efficiency upgrades now center on. We service existing systems for defrost faults, reversing valve problems, and weak performance in shoulder season, and we
install cold-climate heat pumps as a full replacement or
paired with a furnace in a dual-fuel setup.
Mitsubishi mini split installation and repair
A bonus room over the garage, a finished basement, or a converted office that the main system never reaches is the classic mini split job in Erie's newer subdivisions. As a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor we install and service ductless systems, including multi-zone setups that heat and cool several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Water heater repair, replacement, and tankless
No hot water, hot water that runs out in one shower, rust in the tap, or a tank leaking at the base. We
repair and replace standard tank water heaters and install tankless units where the gas line and venting support it.
Seasonal tune-ups and maintenance
A fall furnace tune-up and a spring AC tune-up catch the failures that otherwise happen on the coldest and hottest days of the year. We clean and test combustion, check safeties and refrigerant charge, and document what we found so you can see the equipment's condition year over year.
Ductwork, zoning, and indoor air quality
Undersized returns, poorly balanced trunk lines, and rooms with no supply at all are common in fast-built homes. We measure airflow, correct duct problems, and add zoning where one thermostat cannot fairly serve two floors. We also install filtration, humidification, and air purification for the dry, dusty stretches of the year.
Why an Erie home heats and cools unevenly
Most HVAC demand in Erie comes from newer two-story homes in Erie Highlands, Colliers Hill, Vista Ridge, Erie Commons, Wyndham Hill, and Canyon Creek, where a single system is asked to hold both floors from one thermostat. Upstairs runs hot in July while the basement stays cold, and the fix that gets suggested most often, a bigger unit, usually makes it worse by short cycling and never running long enough to move air where it needs to go.
We look at the duct system first. Balancing supply and return, correcting undersized runs, and adding a second zone with its own thermostat solves uneven temperatures that no amount of extra tonnage will. Where a room sits too far off the trunk to fix that way, a ductless head handles it directly.
Old Town Erie is a different job. Older equipment in tight mechanical rooms and crawl spaces, original ductwork, and limited clearance mean replacement takes planning rather than a swap, and we measure the space before we quote it.
Rebates on a high-efficiency upgrade depend on your Erie address
Erie sits at the edge of our Boulder County coverage, and that matters for rebates. Many Erie homes are served by United Power rather than Xcel Energy, and the two run different programs on high-efficiency furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps. Homeowners here are routinely pointed toward Xcel rebates that do not apply to their account at all.
We confirm who bills your electricity and
which utility rebate programs your equipment qualifies for before you commit to anything, and we
handle the paperwork on a qualifying upgrade. Free estimates include that math.

Questions Erie homeowners ask us
Who does HVAC repair in Erie, CO?
VO Heating and Cooling repairs furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, mini splits, and water heaters throughout Erie and the 80516 ZIP. We are locally owned and operated, have served the north Denver metro and Boulder County since 2012, and our technicians are NATE-certified. Call 720-687-3822 to get on the schedule.
Do you offer emergency furnace repair in Erie?
Yes. We take after-hours and weekend calls when a furnace goes out, which is the situation we hear about most during a Front Range cold snap. When we arrive we diagnose the failure, quote the repair before starting, and get heat restored the same visit whenever the part is on the truck.
What does an HVAC service call cost in Erie?
A diagnostic service call carries a flat fee that we quote you on the phone before we dispatch, and you approve any repair cost before we begin the work. Estimates on a replacement system are free, including the rebate and financing options that apply to your address.
How quickly can you reach an Erie address?
Erie is on our regular route, and we dispatch from our Thornton and Brighton offices, so most Erie calls are same-day or next-day. No-heat and no-cooling calls move to the front of the schedule.
Which Erie neighborhoods do you service?
All of them, including Erie Highlands, Colliers Hill, Vista Ridge, Erie Commons, Wyndham Hill, Canyon Creek, and Old Town Erie, plus the surrounding Boulder and Weld county stretches of 80516. We also serve neighboring Broomfield, Superior, Louisville, Lafayette, and Brighton.
How much does furnace replacement cost in Erie?
Cost depends on the size of the home, the efficiency level you choose, and whether the existing ductwork and venting need work. We give you written options at a few efficiency tiers with the rebates and tax credits your utility actually offers applied, so you can compare real numbers rather than a range.
Do you service the brand already installed in my house?
We service all major residential brands, not only the equipment we sell. We are a Trane Comfort Specialist and a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor, and our technicians carry parts and diagnostic experience across the furnaces, air conditioners, and heat pumps common in Erie homes.
