Superior went from a coal town of about 250 people to a community of more than 13,000, most of it built since the 1990s. Then the Marshall Fire took hundreds of homes. We work on the 1990s systems and the new rebuilds alike.
Superior was founded in 1896 and named for the quality of its coal. Its population hovered around 250 until the 1990s, when Rock Creek Ranch, Sagamore and other subdivisions were built along the US 36 corridor between Boulder and Denver.
Today we repair and replace furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps and water heaters all over town, with the same family service and posted prices we offer everywhere.

What we see in Superior homes
Superior, Colorado
Rock Creek Ranch, the town’s largest residential development, and the other 1990s neighborhoods are now at the age where original furnaces and air conditioners wear out, if they have not been replaced already. 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.
The Marshall Fire on December 30, 2021 destroyed 378 homes in Superior, according to Boulder County, including the Sagamore neighborhood. By early 2023, about 70 percent of the roughly 200 rebuild permits in town met the 2021 energy code or better, so many rebuilt homes have high-efficiency furnaces or heat pumps and tighter construction. Those systems run best with clean filters and a yearly inspection.
Superior adopted a Beneficial Electrification Plan in 2023. If you are weighing a heat pump, we are happy to talk it through and price it next to a furnace.
What we fix in Superior
Common heating and cooling calls in Superior, and where to start.
The Town of Superior requires a permit for air conditioners, furnaces and heat pumps, and for water heater installs. The Building Department is run by SAFEbuilt. Since October 13, 2025, contractors also need a Town of Superior contractor license. If you are comparing quotes, ask whether the permit is included.
Xcel Energy is Superior’s electric utility. The town’s energy page lists Boulder County EnergySmart rebates for heat pumps and heat pump water heaters, Xcel rebates and Home Energy Squad visits, and the Colorado RENU loan. Amounts change, so check the program or ask us when we write your estimate.

Great air conditioning process and execution. Showed up, assessed, and priced. No “cooling associate” follow-up needed like 2 other companies; this company cut to the chase. They gave the most competitive price and Charlie and Ian were thorough and worked hard on my install. Highly recommend.

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.

Our AC unit broke overnight. We found Aspen Creek through reviews online. Dan from Aspen Creek was out the next morning within hours of our call. He had us fixed super quickly and was just the nicest guy. He is super knowledgeable and I highly recommend his company.

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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Aspen Creek has to be the most professional Company I’ve deal dealt with in a long time. Our repairman, Sam was on time, very professional, explained what was wrong and not wrong with our air condition unit. Sam was not the typical high-pressure salesman. I highly recommend Aspen Creek if you are having problems with your air conditioner or your heating.

I can not say enough about my positive experience with Aspen Creek and the installation of my heat pump to replace my very old A/C. From the office staff Shannon and Danni helping me with my scheduling conflicts, to Sam giving my estimate and answering questions, and Charlie, Toby and Trevor coordinating the install, everyone was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Trevor was my HERO and made sure I understood my new system, showed me how to work everything and told me some things to watch for. It feels good knowing things were done correctly and I feel confident should I have any questions or issues, I am in good hands! Thank you Aspen Creek, I'll sleep well tonight in my cool house! 🤣

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!

On possibly the hottest day of the summer around 5PM, our AC quit working. I had read several positive reviews about Aspen Creek Heating and Air on another social media site and decided to contact them. The phone was immediately answered by Dani (sp?). She was very professional and scheduled a service technician for the next morning.
Sam showed up as scheduled, was professional, and didn't try to upsell us. He diagnosed the problem within 15 minutes. The charge was reasonable. We are so glad we found Aspen Creek Heating and Air and will definitely use them in the future for any heating or cooling needs. We highly recommend them.

We had Dan and Toby install a mini-split in our bedroom because our central air wasn't keeping the second floor room cool enough during the summer. The whole office was great to work with and they did an excellent job with communication and the install.
There were a lot of twists and turns getting the lines routed down to the compressor/condenser and they did a great job of keeping it as clean and tucked away as possible.
I highly recommend Aspen Creek.
