A puddle around your indoor AC unit or worse, a water stain spreading across the ceiling below your attic air handler is alarming, but the cause is usually simple. In most cases, water leaking from an air conditioner is condensation that can't drain away properly, not...
Finding ice on your air conditioner in the middle of a Denver summer feels backwards but it's one of the most common cooling problems we see, and it always means something is wrong. Ice on the refrigerant line or evaporator coil is a symptom, never a normal operating...
It's 95 degrees, your AC is running, and the air coming out of the vents is warm. Before you assume the worst, know this: warm air from a running air conditioner usually traces back to one of six causes, and two of them are a thermostat setting and a tripped breaker...
Denver's dry climate and sharp day-to-night temperature swings create a window most homeowners never use: a large share of summer evenings cool off enough that a whole-house fan can do the job an air conditioner would otherwise be doing, for a fraction of the...

Denver has a reputation as a mild, four-seasons climate and on average, that's a fair description. But “generally mild” hides a real and measurable cooling season that catches some homeowners off guard, especially anyone weighing central air against an evaporative...
An air conditioner that runs nonstop without ever quite catching up to the thermostat is one of the more frustrating mid-summer problems, mostly because it doesn't feel like a clear emergency the system is running, after all. It's also one of the more diagnosable...
Denver sits roughly a mile above sea level, and that thinner air affects more than how quickly you get out of breath on a hike. It changes how well an air conditioner can actually cool a home, a factor almost no equipment label accounts for, since cooling capacity...
Front Range summer storms knock the power out for a few minutes at a time often enough that most people treat it as a non-event for the air conditioner it turns off, then turns back on. The outage itself usually isn't where the risk is. What happens electrically in...
