About Us

Your Local Highlands Ranch HVAC Experts

Highlands Ranch is one of the largest master-planned communities in the country, and most of its housing was built in waves from the late 1980s through the 2000s. That means a lot of homes are running original builder-grade systems: Lennox, Trane, or Carrier units that were sized for the home at construction but are now past their rated lifespan. We see this pattern regularly in Northridge, Westridge, and the older sections near Town Center. Backcountry and the newer custom homes have different needs: larger square footage, multi-zone requirements, and sometimes existing ductwork that wasn’t designed for the addition that came later. We run Manual J calculations on every Highlands Ranch job because the south-metro elevation and Douglas County’s wind exposure affect heating loads differently than homes closer to Denver.

HVAC in Master-Planned Communities

5,920 ft elevation

Most Highlands Ranch homes came with builder-grade Lennox, Trane, or Carrier systems sized for the original construction. Many are now past their 20-year rated lifespan.
HOA requirements vary by subdivision - some require specific condenser pad locations or screening. We handle HOA coordination before installation day.
Douglas County wind exposure increases heating loads compared to sheltered areas closer to the foothills. We size systems for actual conditions.
Backcountry and newer custom homes often need multi-zone systems for 4,000+ sq ft floor plans. Variable-speed equipment handles these better than single-stage.

Local History

The Story of Highlands Ranch

A sprawling suburb located just 15 miles south of Denver, Highlands Ranch is a large master-planned community with roots spanning back nearly 100 years. Similar to many areas in the present-day Denver metro area, Highlands Ranch attracted farmers who saw fruitful possibilities, including an abundance of potatoes, alongside the Pikes Peak gold rush. This included Dad Rufus "Potato" Clark, a potato farmer whose harvest was so abundant he earned the title of Colorado's Potato King, and filed on a 160-acre homestead that now serves as the Highlands Ranch Golf Club. Highlands Ranch's history is defined by the historic Highlands Ranch Mansion and ranch, which housed several important farming families, including cattle barons, oil tycoons, political and business leaders, and prominent Denver socialites. Some of these families defined Colorado's agricultural landscape through the invention of innovative dry land farming techniques and cattle raising. Highlands Ranch officially became a suburb of the Denver metro area in 1978. In the present day, Highlands Ranch attracts locals and visitors alike with 26 parks, 8,200 acres of conservation space, golfing, a plethora of commercial developments, and a centralized location between the Denver metro area and Colorado Springs.
