Just up the road from our Lafayette shop
Erie borders Lafayette to the north, and the Coal Creek Trail runs between the two. From Old Town to the newest neighborhoods east of County Road 5, we keep Erie homes warm in winter and cool in summer.
Erie is one of the fastest-growing towns we serve. The number of homes and businesses with electric service nearly doubled between 2014 and 2020, according to the town’s own energy plan, and most of the houses outside Old Town have gone up since 2000.
That means two very different kinds of calls. In Old Town we work on older furnaces, boilers and water heaters. In Vista Ridge, Erie Commons, Colliers Hill and Erie Highlands, it is usually builder-grade equipment that is now 10 to 25 years old.
Erie started as a coal town in the 1860s, and for most of its history it was one compact neighborhood, today’s Old Town around Briggs Street, with roughly 566 homes. Older homes there can have anything from a decades-old furnace to a boiler, and ductwork that has been added onto over the years.
The subdivisions came in a rush: Vista Ridge around 2000, Erie Commons around 2004, Colliers Hill and Morgan Hill in the late 2000s, Erie Highlands in the mid 2010s and Westerly more recently. The early ones are reaching the age where original furnaces and air conditioners start to wear out. 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.
Most newer Erie homes have high-efficiency condensing furnaces that vent through PVC pipe and drain water through a condensate line. In a cold snap, a frozen or clogged drain line or a blocked intake pipe can shut the furnace down. It is a common no-heat call in newer homes, and usually a quick fix.

Heat pumps and boilersThe Town of Erie requires a permit to install or replace a furnace or central air, a mini-split, an air conditioner or evaporative cooler, a boiler, or a water heater. Permits come from the Erie Building Division, and contractors need a Town of Erie contractor license. If you are comparing quotes, ask whether the permit is included.
Erie is unusual: it has three energy providers. Xcel Energy and United Power split electric service roughly evenly across town, and Black Hills Energy supplies natural gas to part of Erie, with Xcel covering the rest. Rebates for heat pumps and efficient equipment depend on which utility serves your address. Boulder County’s EnergySmart program helps Erie residents sort through the options, and the town lists more on its energy efficiency page. Ask us when we write your estimate and Shannon will help with the paperwork.

I had a furnace inspection from Aspen Creek. The technician was thorough, professional, and explained everything that he was doing. The appointment was easy to set up. I would definitely call this company again for HVAC issues.

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.

One of my favorite HVAC companies. Friendly and honest.

Very satisfied with our experience with Aspen Creek. Sam came out to evaluate our A/C system after another company in the area told us we needed a replacement part that would cost thousands of dollars. Sam took the time to thoroughly assess the system and let us know that the part was actually functioning properly and did not need to be replaced. He also gave us some helpful recommendations for improvements that could genuinely make a difference with our A/C performance, while being clear that they weren’t urgent or things we needed to spend money on immediately. We really appreciated his honesty, expertise, and straightforward approach. It was refreshing to work with someone we felt we could trust.

My AC seemed to not be running efficiently lately so I made an appointment with Aspen Creek to check it out. Sam came yesterday morning and did an inspection. The coolant was running low so he topped it off and I'm thrilled to say my AC is no longer running constantly and is keeping my house cooler even with the thermostat set slightly higher! This will save me money in energy costs over our increasingly hotter summers! This is the first time I've used Aspen Creek and was really impressed with Sam's professionalism and knowledge. I will definitely be using Aspen Creek for all my heating and cooling needs moving forward!

Good honest company! I had a larger, well known company tell me I needed to replace my entire system for around $20,000 but then Sam and Aspen Creek came out and fixed it for $400! They even squeezed me in within 15 minutes since Sam was driving through from Golden. I definitely recommend them and we will be calling them from now on

My family and I chose Aspen Creek Heating & Air after getting quotes from 8 other HVAC companies. They were transparent with pricing and happy to walk us through every aspect of the system that we'd be purchasing and why it would be great for our home. The other companies were pushy and somewhat condescending for the most part, along with being significantly more expensive. Moreover; the tremendous service from start to finish from the wonderful folks at Aspen Creek made this important and expensive capital home improvement, the ABSOLUTELY perfect choice for my family. Aspen Creek was even so gracious as to provide us with (2) temporary A/C units after our compressor died one day after accepting their bid. That was for almost 3 weeks! Now, that is service. I've spent my entire career in Customer Service and know good from bad in that industry, and Aspen Creek Heating & Air will do very well by you. So much so, that my nephew chose Aspen Creek after hearing of my wonderful experience with them when his old system failed, one day after my installation. Top notch products, service, and even better people is what you get with Aspen Creek Heating & Air!
Yes. Erie requires a permit for furnace and central air installs or replacements, mini-splits, air conditioners and evaporative coolers, boilers and water heaters. The Erie Building Division issues them, and contractors need a Town of Erie license.
Erie has three. Electric service is split between Xcel Energy and United Power, and natural gas comes from Xcel or, in part of town, Black Hills Energy. Your bills will tell you, and that decides which rebates apply.
Check the thermostat, the breaker and the filter first. On a high-efficiency furnace, also look at the white PVC pipes outside for snow or ice, and listen for a gurgling drain. Our no heat page walks through it. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas company.
The same as everywhere we work. Repairs start with an $89 trip and diagnostic fee, waived if you go ahead with the repair. Furnace and AC inspections are $189, or $250 together.
Call the Nevin family or request service online. We will tell you straight what it needs.
