Boulder's commercial stock includes tech offices and lab space in Flatiron Park and Gunbarrel, downtown retail and restaurants on Pearl Street, and new mixed-use at Boulder Junction. Besties HVAC Solutions works as the mechanical contractor on those buildings, replacing tired equipment, building out new suites and keeping systems running through Front Range summers and subzero cold snaps.
The Boulder commercial market
We regularly work around Flatiron Park, downtown Pearl Street, Gunbarrel tech and lab buildings and Boulder Junction. Strict local energy codes shape every new building in Boulder, which pushes projects toward high-efficiency heat pumps, VRF and dedicated outdoor air.
Boulder has some of the most ambitious local climate and electrification goals in Colorado, which shapes how many owners think about their next system. For a building owner that means equipment choices, maintenance and replacement timing all have to fit the way the property is actually used, and we plan around tenants, deliveries and business hours.

Local conditions in Boulder
- City and county programs have offered support for heat pumps and efficiency upgrades. Offerings change, so we check what is current.
- Rental properties in the city have been subject to SmartRegs energy efficiency requirements for rental housing.
- Historic homes in areas like Mapleton Hill may have boilers, limited duct space and preservation considerations.
Altitude is a design input here. At about 5,400 feet, thinner air reduces combustion and air-side capacity, and we correct equipment selection and gas setup for it on every Boulder project.
We also deliver commercial HVAC in nearby Louisville, Superior, Erie and Broomfield. For the full overview, including our pricing approach, process and common questions, see commercial HVAC in Denver.
