Up Highway 7 from our Lafayette shop
From Mapleton Hill Victorians to the postwar ranches of Martin Acres and Table Mesa, Boulder has some of the most varied homes we work on. We repair and replace furnaces, boilers, air conditioners and heat pumps all over town.
Boulder is a short run west on Highway 7 from our shop. It is also a city with its own rules for heating and cooling work, from contractor licensing to an energy code that requires new homes to be all-electric, and it pays to work with someone who knows them.
Whether you need a boiler kept running in a 100-year-old house or want to talk through a heat pump, you get the Nevin family and the same posted prices we charge everywhere.
Boulder’s housing is older than most of the towns around it. Growth limits going back to the 1959 Blue Line, the 1967 open space tax and the 1976 Danish Plan held down new building for decades, and a 2014 city housing study found only 13 percent of residents lived in homes built since 2000.
The historic districts, Mapleton Hill, Chautauqua, Floral Park, Hillside, University Place and the rest, are where we find boilers, radiators and furnaces tucked into tight basements. The postwar subdivisions came next: Highland Park and Martin Acres in the 1950s, and Table Mesa’s roughly 1,270 houses built between 1962 and 1967. Many of those homes are on their third or fourth furnace, with air conditioning added long after they were built. Most gas furnaces last somewhere around 15 to 20 years and most central air conditioners around 12 to 15, depending on how they were installed and cared for.
Boulder also gets real wind. Downslope windstorms are most common in winter, and gusts of more than 100 mph have been recorded at NCAR’s Mesa Lab. After a big wind event we check outdoor AC and heat pump units, venting and anything on the roof.
Common heating and cooling calls in Boulder, and where to start.
Boilers in the older neighborhoods, and heat pumps for homeowners going electric.
Boilers and heat pumpsUnder Boulder’s code, a like-for-like furnace replacement is still allowed. We will help you weigh the options.
Get an honest answerBoulder requires anyone doing mechanical work in the city to hold a City of Boulder contractor license, and the city will not issue permits to unlicensed contractors. Mechanical permits come from Planning & Development Services, and the fee doubles for work done without one. If you are comparing quotes, ask about both.
Boulder’s 2024 Energy Conservation Code took effect December 1, 2024. New homes and additions have to be all-electric. For existing homes, a like-for-like furnace replacement is still allowed; larger remodels can require the equipment space to be wired for a future electric system, or all-electric equipment when the remodel includes major envelope work. We will tell you which rules apply before you commit to anything.
Xcel Energy provides Boulder’s electricity and gas. For heat pumps and heat pump water heaters, Boulder County’s EnergySmart program offers rebates and advising, and the county notes that City of Boulder residents may qualify for additional rebates. Amounts change through the year, so check the program or our rebates page.

Today’s service was the yearly furnace inspection. The technicians arrived within the quoted time window, and were friendly, informative, and knowledgeable. The pricing was competitive. This is the second time that I’ve used Aspen Creek, the first time was for air conditioner repair. I’ve been completely satisfied so far, and plan on continue using them for my HVAC needs.

What an amazing and honest technician Sam was. He was very knowledgeable and thorough. Sam took his time and checked our furnace and AC/Heat-pump top to bottom. He put on shoe covers each time he came into our house. I will never use any other company to service our system. You need an honest and reliable company call Aspen Creek Heating and Air. Sam thank you for all you did.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aspen Creek Heating & Air has been my go-to HVAC company for quite a while, and they continue to earn my business every time I need them. They are quick to respond, dependable, and professional. One thing I especially appreciate is their communication—they keep me updated throughout the process, so I’m never left wondering what is happening or when something will be completed. When there’s a problem, I want a company that responds quickly, communicates clearly, shows up when they say they will, and gets the job done right. Aspen Creek Heating & Air has consistently done exactly that for me. It’s difficult to find service companies you can truly rely on, and once you find one, you stick with them. Aspen Creek Heating & Air is that company for me. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and professional heating and air conditioning company. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #captjimandadela #capjimed
