New central AC, swamp cooler conversions and high-efficiency upgrades for Wheat Ridge homes, with a written proposal first.
A new AC in Wheat Ridge has to handle bright high-altitude sun and hot, dry afternoons. Predominantly 1950s and 1960s ranches, often on larger lots than other inner suburbs. Wheat Ridge is a small, established Jefferson County city with roomy lots and a lot of original mid-century housing. Every project starts with a free estimate that looks at your ducts, returns and the rooms that never cool, then we recommend equipment that fits.
Many Wheat Ridge homes added AC later, and condensers placed under mature trees clog with cottonwood fluff each June.
The right AC starts with the right numbers. We measure the home, check return air, and choose between single-stage, two-stage and variable-speed equipment based on comfort and noise goals. Installation includes matched components, proper evacuation, measured refrigerant charge, permits where required and a walk-through.
Hail is the Front Range wildcard. At about 5,450 feet, Wheat Ridge also gets intense afternoon sun on west-facing rooms. We plan condenser placement, clearances and optional hail guards so the new system lasts.
