High Country Heating & Air Conditioning

Ice formation typically results from restricted airflow due to a dirty filter or low refrigerant levels. Turn off your AC, replace the filter, and contact a professional for service.

When properly maintained, a standard central AC system lasts approximately 10 years, while furnaces also have a lifespan of around 10 years.

Verify that your outdoor unit is receiving power, confirm your thermostat settings are correct, and check that your air filter isn't severely clogged. If warm air persists, low refrigerant may be the cause.

An HVAC technician can evaluate and balance your system's airflow or recommend installing a zoning system to provide precise temperature control for individual rooms.

Installation costs depend on two factors. If you already have an AC-ready setup with an existing line set and coil, the average cost is $5,000. If a line set and coil need to be installed, the average cost is $6,500.

Lower MERV-rated filters provide better airflow with less restriction, though they require more frequent changes. Anti-allergy filters reduce airflow and can cause your system to overheat.

A 90%+ efficient furnace replacement averages $5,000. Pricing for an 80% efficient furnace varies based on the specific job requirements.

An average household of 5 people should use approximately 2 bags of softener salt per month.
