Common issues in Colorado Springs

  • Furnace combustion derating — at 6,035 feet, gas furnaces lose efficiency unless adjusted for altitude (typically 4% per 1,000 feet above sea level).
  • AC capacity loss — air conditioners lose about 3% of cooling capacity per 1,000 feet of elevation gain, so a unit sized for sea level may underperform here.
  • Winter humidity below 20% — whole-home humidifiers are nearly always recommended for comfort and to protect wood floors and furniture.
  • Dust and wildfire smoke — high-MERV filtration and seasonal indoor air quality service matter more here than at sea level.
  • Hard freeze cycles — outdoor hose bibs and exposed pipes need freeze-protection if not already insulated.

Common questions

What Colorado Springs homeowners ask.

What home services does Smith Total Home offer in Colorado Springs?

Smith Total Home provides plumbing, heating, air conditioning and electrical service to Colorado Springs homeowners, covering repair, replacement, installation and seasonal maintenance in all four trades. The company has served the Colorado Front Range since 1974 and holds current Colorado plumbing, HVAC and electrical licenses.

Does Smith offer emergency service in Colorado Springs?

Yes. Smith dispatches 24/7 emergency plumbing, heating, cooling and electrical service to Colorado Springs and the surrounding area. Call (719) 408-3188 at any hour to reach dispatch. Burst pipes, no heat in winter and dead electrical panels are handled outside business hours rather than queued to the next day.

How hard is the water in Colorado Springs?

Water in Colorado Springs runs around 1.3 to 2.8 grains per gallon, which is considered soft to slightly hard. Colorado Springs Utilities reports municipal water at 1.3 to 2.8 grains per gallon — among the softest tap water on the Front Range. Hardness is what leaves scale inside water heaters, clogs fixture aerators and shortens the life of water-using appliances, so it drives whether a softener is worth installing and how often a water heater needs flushing.

Does Colorado Springs's elevation affect heating and cooling equipment?

Yes. Colorado Springs sits at roughly 6,035 feet, and thinner air at altitude means gas appliances must be derated and set up correctly or they burn less cleanly and underperform. Cooling equipment also moves less mass of air at the same blower speed, so sizing done on sea-level assumptions falls short. Average winter lows near 18°F mean the system has to perform when it matters.

What home system problems are most common in Colorado Springs?

These are the issues Smith sees most often in Colorado Springs. Furnace combustion derating — at 6,035 feet, gas furnaces lose efficiency unless adjusted for altitude (typically 4% per 1,000 feet above sea level). AC capacity loss — air conditioners lose about 3% of cooling capacity per 1,000 feet of elevation gain, so a unit sized for sea level may underperform here. Winter humidity below 20% — whole-home humidifiers are nearly always recommended for comfort and to protect wood floors and furniture. They track local conditions rather than general wear, which is why the right maintenance priorities differ from one Front Range town to the next.

How is pricing handled for Colorado Springs service calls?

Fair and upfront. A technician diagnoses the problem, explains it in plain language and presents options before any work begins, so the price shown is the price paid. There are no surprise charges or unauthorized add-ons, and financing is available for larger projects such as repiping, panel upgrades and system replacement.
