BeforeWe Show Up
The Work You Don't See
Once your system is approved, we consolidate all equipment, parts, and components. Everything is stored at our Evans or Centennial warehouse until install day. Techs and helpers are assigned one to two weeks in advance.
The day before your install, equipment is loaded and staged. Components go through their first QC check at the warehouse - we look for shipping damage, verify model numbers, and confirm every part matches the job specs.
Ordered & tracked
Equipment ETAs tracked daily until everything arrives at our warehouse.
Staged day-before
Loaded and consolidated the night before install day.
Crew assigned early
Techs and helpers assigned 1-2 weeks ahead of your install date.
First QC at warehouse
Checked for dings, wrong parts, and spec mismatches at the warehouse.
InstallationDay
What Happens When We Arrive
A standard replacement takes one full day. Heat pump and mini-split installs can run 1-2 days.
Equipment staged
The day before, equipment is consolidated and loaded at our Evans or Centennial warehouse. Second component QC check for dings and damage.
Crew briefing at 7 AM
Techs and helpers start their day at 7 AM. Equipment is loaded, missing parts procured, and the team meets before heading out.
Notification sent
You get a notification when the crew is on the way.
Homeowner walkthrough
We walk through the job with you before starting. Longer walkthrough for mini-split installs where indoor unit placement matters. Questions and concerns are handled here.
Prep and protection
Tarps laid down, work area prepped. Disassembly of the old system begins.
On-site component QC
Components get inspected again on-site - shipping damage, correct model numbers, matching specs. This is the second QC check.
Installation
Install, flashing, pressure tests, and lineset cleaning from inside out for replacements. This is the bulk of the day.
System commissioning
45 minutes to 3 hours depending on system type. Airflow, refrigerant charge, noise levels, static pressure, temperature delta, and thermostat programming. For mini-splits, we measure output and superheat on the condenser side.
Full function test and handover
All modes tested. Thermostat walkthrough. Handover runs 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the system and how many questions you have.
County-level climate data
Heating degree days, design temperatures, and solar gain specific to your county.
On-site measurements
Window area, insulation levels, orientation, and air sealing measured on-site.
LiDAR iPad software
3D scan of your home for precise square footage and room volumes.
Manual JEvery Job
No Rule-of-Thumb Sizing
We run a Manual J load calculation on every install, regardless of system type or job complexity.
Square-footage rules don't account for Denver's altitude, dry air, or intense UV exposure. An oversized system short-cycles, wastes energy, and wears out faster. An undersized one can't keep up on the coldest nights. The load calculation tells us exactly what your home needs.
For rebate purposes, proper sizing also determines which tier your system qualifies for. A cold-climate heat pump measured at 5°F (heating tons) qualifies for $2,250/ton from Xcel, while a standard unit measured at 95°F (cooling tons) only gets $900/ton.
SystemCommissioning
What We Actually Check
Commissioning takes 45 minutes to 3 hours depending on system complexity. It's the longest part of the day besides the physical install. Here's what we verify.
Airflow
CFM measurements across all registers and returns
Refrigerant charge
Precise charge verified against manufacturer specs
Noise levels
Indoor and outdoor unit decibel check at operating speed
Static pressure
Duct system pressure drop within design limits
Temperature delta
Supply vs return air temperature differential verified
Thermostat programming
Schedules, switchover points, and all modes configured
For mini-splits: We also measure output and superheat on the condenser side. Ductless systems have different commissioning requirements than ducted central equipment, and we adjust the process accordingly.
