HVAC in Aurora 80010: Aurora's oldest homes need its most careful techs

Fletcher — the town that became Aurora in 1907 — grew up in 80010, and the housing stock shows it. This is the only zip in Aurora where you'll still find homes from the 1920s and 30s next to the 1950s brick ranches, all of it heated by forced-air gas furnaces that have often been replaced exactly once. When we open a basement door here, we regularly meet equipment older than the homeowner.

Old homes bring old-system problems: original ductwork that's never been sealed, returns added as afterthoughts, thermostats wired by three different owners, and furnaces held together by parts that aren't made anymore. Our diagnostic approach in 80010 is repair-first by default — but we're blunt when a unit is a safety risk. Carbon monoxide doesn't care about nostalgia, and we check every old furnace like it might be the one.

The Colfax corridor runs the length of the zip, with Havana Street crossing it — the commercial spine of old Aurora. We're minutes away via Colfax from our Nucla Way shop, which is why 80010 gets the same same-day coverage as our home zip. If you rent here, note: landlords in this zip call us too, and we document everything in writing so both sides stay honest.
