Why Loveland Homeowners Choose Fireside Heating & Air Co.
Loveland homeowners tend to stay put. The ranch homes near Boyd Lake, the tri-levels off Eisenhower Boulevard, the newer builds up by Centerra - these are houses people have owned for twenty, thirty, forty years. They remember the contractor who didn’t show, the one who charged double the estimate, the one who left scuffs on the floor and a system that failed again in six months.
We’ve built our reputation in Loveland by being the company that doesn’t do that. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained as journeymen. They put on shoe covers without being asked. They treat your home like their mother’s. And when we quote a price, that’s the price - full stop, no fine print.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork to file, no arguing, no runaround. Just a written guarantee we’ve stood behind for over 8 years. Calls come to a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. When your furnace dies at 2 a.m. and the temperature’s dropping through the floor, you won’t reach a recording.
We’ve worked in homes across Longmont, CO, 80537, 80538, and 80539 - from the established neighborhoods near Lake Loveland to the newer developments north of Crossroads Boulevard. Most calls reach us within the hour, and most jobs finish the same day.
HVAC Services We Offer in Loveland
AC Repair & Installation
Loveland summers have grown hotter and more humid, and older R-22 systems common in 1990s tract homes are failing in waves. We repair all nine major brands and install new systems sized correctly for your home and Loveland’s 4,982-foot elevation. Learn more about our AC Repair & Installation in Loveland.
Heating & Furnace Service
Gas furnaces in Loveland must be altitude-derated to account for thinner air, a step contractors from lower elevations often miss. We inspect, repair, and replace furnaces throughout western Loveland’s 1960s-1980s housing stock, with particular attention to heat exchangers stressed by Chinook temperature swings. Learn more about our Heating & Furnace in Loveland.
Heat Pump & Mini Split Systems
Heat pumps have improved dramatically, and many Loveland homeowners are making the switch for both heating and cooling. We size and install systems rated for cold-climate performance and handle the refrigerant charge adjustments required at high elevation. Learn more about our Heat Pump & Mini Split in Loveland.
Air Quality & Ventilation
Wildfire smoke from the Front Range and canyon inversions can trap particulates in Loveland homes for days. We install whole-home air purifiers, humidifiers, and ventilation solutions that work with your existing system.
Emergency & Commercial HVAC
Our phones never switch to voicemail. When your heat goes out at midnight or your business system fails before opening, a live person dispatches a technician. Same-day emergency service is standard, not a premium upgrade.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Loveland
We’ve worked in homes across Loveland’s full span, from the mature trees of the older neighborhoods to the fresh pavement of newer growth. Most of our calls run under an hour for response time.
- Centerra - newer builds with end-of-life R-22 systems needing full replacement
- Boyd Lake area - 1970s-1980s ranches and tri-levels on second or third furnaces
- Downtown Loveland (80537) - historic and mid-century homes with unique ductwork challenges

- Big Thompson Canyon edge - homes exposed to the full force of Chinook wind events
Why Loveland’s Climate & Housing Affect HVAC
Loveland sits at roughly 4,982 feet elevation at the eastern mouth of the Big Thompson Canyon, and that geography creates two compounding HVAC challenges you won’t find in Denver or Fort Collins. First, gas furnaces must be altitude-derated here, losing roughly 10-15% of rated BTU output. A “100,000-BTU” furnace is really delivering closer to 85,000-88,000 BTUs at this elevation, so sizing calculations from sea-level manuals leave homeowners cold. We’ve seen contractors relocate from lower markets and install equipment that simply cannot keep up on a zero-degree night.
Second, the canyon funnels some of the Front Range’s most dramatic Chinook downslope wind events. Temperatures can swing 40-60°F within hours, and your HVAC system may cycle between full heat and air conditioning within the same January day. A Chinook-savvy Loveland tech knows to inspect heat exchangers on any furnace that’s been “short-cycled through the swings.” Homeowners routinely kill the furnace when a Chinook pushes it to 62°F, then slam it back on when temps crash overnight. That thermal shock is a leading cause of cracked exchangers on the 1980s-era units still common in the Centerra-area and Boyd Lake neighborhoods.
The housing stock tells its own story. Western and central Loveland (80537) holds dense concentrations of 1960s-1980s ranch and tri-level homes, many still on first- or second-replacement furnaces originally oversized for pre-efficiency-code standards. Meanwhile, the rapidly developed north Loveland corridor (80538) is dominated by 1990s-2000s tract subdivisions whose R-22 split systems are now hitting end-of-life simultaneously. We’re in the middle of a wave of full-system replacements up there, and proper load calculations matter more than ever with today’s tighter building envelopes and higher efficiency standards.

We named this company for the warmest word in the American memory because that’s the feeling we deliver, backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. we coordinate through our Denver Metro service area Same-day service when the season turns. Ask about our $89 seasonal tune-up.

FAQs About HVAC in Loveland
Most furnace repairs in Loveland run between $180 and $450, with major component replacements like heat exchangers or blower motors reaching $800 to $2,200. The altitude and Chinook cycling here put extra stress on heat exchangers, so we always inspect for cracks before quoting. Call (866) 561-3358 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Your furnace may be undersized for Loveland’s elevation. At 4,982 feet, a furnace loses 10-15% of its rated BTU output unless properly derated during installation. We’ve found non-derated equipment in homes across 80537 and 80538, and correcting the sizing often solves the problem permanently. A free second opinion on any written estimate can confirm whether this applies to your system.
Yes, most days we can. Our technicians carry common parts for Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and the other major brands we service, and most Loveland calls reach us within the hour. For the jobs that need a full replacement, we’ll get you running temporarily and schedule the install around your timeline. Call (866) 561-3358 - a live person will answer.
For furnaces over 15 years or AC units over 12, replacement often costs less over a five-year span than repeated repairs on failing efficiency. We give straight talk about repair versus replace, with no pressure either way. If your system uses R-22 refrigerant - common in north Loveland’s 1990s-2000s builds - replacement is usually the wiser path since that refrigerant is no longer manufactured. Call for a free estimate and we’ll walk through the numbers together.
We do. Every call to Fireside Heating & Air Co. reaches a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. No voicemail tree, no callback queue. If your heat goes out at 2 a.m. in January, you’ll speak to someone who can dispatch a technician. That’s been our practice for over 8 years, and we don’t plan to change it.

What Loveland Customers Say
"The thermostat had been miswired by whoever installed it, so the heat strips were running with the AC. He found it in a few minutes and probably saved me a fortune on the next few bills."
- Nicole Fletcher"Blower motor on a twelve year old furnace. He gave me the honest math on repair against replace and did not push me toward the bigger ticket."
- Paige Hoffman"AC died in the middle of a heat wave. He found a blown capacitor, replaced it out of the truck, and had cold air blowing inside forty minutes. Charged about what I would expect for the part and a service call."
