Most homeowners wait until something breaks before they call the HVAC company. We get it—life is busy. But when it comes to heating and cooling systems, a little prevention goes a long way.

That’s why we created the Advantage Performance Plan—a simple, cost-effective way to keep your home comfortable year-round, avoid surprise breakdowns, and get priority service when it matters most.

If you’ve ever asked yourself “Is a maintenance plan really worth it?”, here’s everything you need to know.

Why HVAC Maintenance Matters

Heating and cooling systems are like cars: they run better, last longer, and cost less to operate when they’re regularly maintained.

Without regular tune-ups, your system is more likely to:

  • Run inefficiently (driving up energy bills)

  • Break down during extreme temperatures

  • Wear out sooner than it should

  • Develop hidden safety issues

But with a solid maintenance plan, you get peace of mind—and real savings.

What’s Included in the Advantage Performance Plan?

Our plan is built around simplicity, transparency, and real value. When you join, you get:

2 Precision Tune-Ups Per Year

One for your AC before summer, and one for your furnace before winter. Each includes:

  • System inspection

  • Safety checks

  • Airflow testing

  • Cleaning critical components

  • Thermostat calibration

  • Filter checks and replacements (as needed)

🚨 Priority Scheduling

When it’s 10° outside and everyone’s furnace is acting up, our Performance Plan members go to the front of the line. You’ll always be at the top of our service list.

💸 15% Off Repairs

If something does go wrong, you get a discount on parts and labor—no matter what the issue is.

🧾 No Overtime Charges

After-hours emergency? No problem. Our members never pay extra for weekend or evening service.

🛡️ System Health Tracking

We keep digital records of your system’s condition so we can spot small issues before they become big ones.

Who Should Join the Advantage Plan?

  • Families who want long-term comfort without surprise costs

  • Busy homeowners who’d rather not worry about remembering tune-ups

  • Anyone with older HVAC equipment looking to extend its lifespan

  • People who want to reduce their energy bills and stay efficient

No Hidden Fees. Just Real Service. Comfort That Lasts.

If your air conditioner is struggling to keep up—or not working at all—you’re probably wondering: How much does it cost to install a new AC unit in Colorado Springs?

It’s a fair question. And while pricing can vary based on your home and preferences, we believe you deserve clear, honest answers before making a big investment.

Here’s what you need to know about the real cost of a new AC system, how to plan for it, and how Advantage Heating & Cooling helps Colorado Springs families make the right call.

What Goes Into the Cost of a New AC Unit?

The total cost of an air conditioner replacement depends on several factors:

1. Size & Capacity of the Unit

Bigger isn’t always better. We properly size your system based on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and layout to ensure maximum comfort and efficiency.

2. System Type

Are you replacing an old central air system? Upgrading to a two-stage model? Adding a ductless mini split for targeted cooling? Each option comes with its own price range and energy efficiency ratings.

3. Ductwork Modifications

If your existing ductwork is in good shape, that can reduce your install cost. But if your ducts need sealing, repair, or rerouting, we’ll give you a transparent quote upfront—no surprises.

4. Efficiency & Features

Higher SEER-rated systems (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) cost more upfront but save more over time. You can also choose systems with variable speed motors, smart thermostat compatibility, and zoning capabilities.

Average AC Replacement Costs in Colorado Springs

Here’s a ballpark breakdown based on our experience with installs across the area:

  • System TypeEstimated RangeBasic Central AC Replacement$5,500 – $7,500
  • High-Efficiency Central AC$7,500 – $10,500+
  • Ductless Mini Split (1 Zone)$4,000 – $6,500
  • Multi-Zone Mini Split System$8,000 – $14,000+

These are general estimates—exact pricing depends on your home and the system you choose. We always provide a free in-home estimate before any work begins.

Financing & Rebates Can Help

We understand a new AC is a major investment. That’s why we offer:

  • Flexible financing options to fit your budget

  • Rebates and incentives on qualifying high-efficiency systems

  • Honest pricing with no pushy sales tactics—just what’s best for your home

Be sure to ask about Carrier® rebates or utility credits available in the Colorado Springs area!

Honest Work. Comfortable Homes. Colorado Springs’ Trusted HVAC Team.

Colorado Springs is known for its crisp mountain air—but once you shut your doors and windows, your indoor air might tell a different story.

From dry winter air to lingering smoke from wildfires, indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a major role in your comfort and health. At Advantage Heating & Cooling, we help homeowners breathe easier with custom air quality solutions that work year-round.

Here’s how to tell if your air could use an upgrade—and what you can do about it.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

You spend about 90% of your time indoors, and the EPA estimates that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. In homes across Colorado Springs, we regularly see:

  • Dry air that causes nosebleeds, itchy skin, and static shocks

  • High levels of dust, pollen, and pet dander

  • Poor ventilation that traps VOCs from cleaning supplies or off-gassing materials

  • Bacteria, viruses, and mold spores circulating through HVAC systems

If you’ve got allergies, asthma, or just want a healthier home—air quality is worth taking seriously.

3 Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality in Your Home

🌀 1. Whole-House Air Purification Systems

Forget plug-in purifiers that only treat a single room. A whole-house air purification system connects to your HVAC setup and cleans the air as it circulates—removing dust, allergens, bacteria, and odors across your entire home.

At Advantage, we install high-efficiency systems that tackle airborne pollutants without restricting airflow. It’s a quiet, out-of-sight solution for year-round clean air.

💧 2. Steam Humidifier Installation

Dry indoor air is a year-round problem here in Colorado Springs. Dry air doesn’t just affect your comfort—it can damage wood floors and furniture, aggravate respiratory issues, and make your home feel colder than it is.

We install whole-home steam humidifiers that maintain optimal humidity levels, helping you feel warmer in winter and more comfortable all around.

🔄 3. Proper Filter Maintenance & Upgrades

A dirty or low-quality filter means your system is blowing dust and particles back into your living space. Upgrading to a high-efficiency pleated filter, and changing it regularly, makes a big difference.

Need help choosing the right filter for your system? We’ve got you covered—and we can even include it as part of your Advantage Performance Plan.

When Should You Consider an IAQ Upgrade?

  • You’ve noticed more dust buildup around your home

  • Family members are frequently congested or experiencing allergies

  • There are lingering odors that don’t go away

  • You’ve recently remodeled or moved into a new home

  • Your furnace or AC is more than 10 years old

  • You want to reduce the spread of airborne illnesses

Why Colorado Springs Trusts Advantage for Indoor Air Quality

We don’t just install equipment—we listen to your concerns and build solutions around your home and lifestyle. From air purifiers to humidifiers to regular filter replacements, we bring honest advice and real results to every project.

✅ Local technicians who care ✅ Upfront quotes with no upsells ✅ High-quality Carrier® IAQ products ✅ Clean installations and trusted service

Built on Trust. Powered by People. HVAC Done Right.

Choosing the right cooling system for your home is a big decision—especially in a place like Colorado Springs, where summer days can run hot and dry while the nights cool down fast. If you're comparing central air systems and ductless mini splits, you’re not alone.

At Advantage Heating & Cooling, we’ve helped homeowners all over Colorado Springs figure out what works best for their homes, budgets, and lifestyles. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of each system to help you make the right call.

What Is Central Air?

Central air conditioning uses a single outdoor unit and ductwork inside your home to distribute cooled air through vents in each room. It’s what most people think of when they picture whole-home air conditioning.

✅ Pros:

  • Even cooling throughout the home

  • Compatible with existing ducts (if you already have a furnace system)

  • Lower upfront cost for homes with existing ductwork

❌ Cons:

  • Less efficient for homes with unused rooms or open layouts

  • Duct maintenance is required (and dirty ducts can hurt air quality)

  • More invasive installation if your home doesn’t already have ducts

What Is a Ductless Mini Split System?

A mini split system uses wall-mounted indoor units connected to an outdoor compressor, without the need for ducts. Each indoor unit cools a specific zone—perfect for add-ons, garages, basements, or homes without central ductwork.

✅ Pros:

  • Zone-by-zone control (only cool the rooms you use)

  • Highly energy-efficient

  • No ductwork needed—less disruption during installation

  • Quieter operation

❌ Cons:

  • Higher upfront cost per zone

  • Wall-mounted units may not suit everyone’s aesthetic

  • Best suited for smaller homes or targeted spaces

So... Which System Is Right for You?

Ask yourself:

  • Does your home already have ductwork in place?

  • Are you cooling the whole house or just a few areas?

  • Are you concerned about energy efficiency or monthly utility bills?

  • Are you adding onto your home or upgrading an older system?

If you're cooling a larger, traditionally ducted home, central air might be the more straightforward option. If you're renovating, building a new addition, or want room-by-room control, ductless mini splits could be the smarter long-term solution.

We’ll Help You Find the Right Fit

At Advantage Heating & Cooling, we don’t just install systems—we guide you to the best choice for your home and budget. Our team installs both Carrier® central air systems and ultra-efficient ductless mini splits, always with honest pricing and no runaround.

We’ve helped Colorado Springs homeowners stay cool for decades, and we’re here to help you do the same—with service built on trust, not sales pressure.

Local Techs. Honest Pricing. Real Comfort. Advantage Heating & Cooling – Colorado Springs’ Trusted HVAC Experts

When the cold rolls into Colorado Springs, a dependable heating system isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. But more and more homeowners are realizing it’s not just about staying warm. It’s about staying efficient, saving money, and making smart upgrades that add long-term value to your home. That’s why high-efficiency furnaces are becoming the go-to choice for families across our region.

What Is a High-Efficiency Furnace?

High-efficiency furnaces use advanced technology to deliver more heat with less energy. Instead of letting heat escape through the flue, these systems reuse and capture it—resulting in higher Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratings of 90% or more. That means 90% (or more) of the energy used goes directly into heating your home.

Compare that to older models that waste up to 30 cents of every heating dollar—and it’s easy to see why homeowners are upgrading.

As temperatures drop in Colorado Springs, your furnace becomes the unsung hero of your home. But before winter hits full force, it's important to make sure your heating system is ready to go. One of the best ways to prevent a mid-season breakdown? A professional furnace tune-up.

Here are five signs your furnace needs a little TLC—plus why scheduling service early can save you time, stress, and money.

1. Your Furnace Hasn’t Been Serviced in Over a Year

Furnaces, like any machine, need regular care to keep performing efficiently. If it’s been more than 12 months since your last inspection, it’s time. Even if everything seems to be working fine, unseen issues can build up and turn into costly repairs.

👉 Pro tip: Join our Advantage Performance Plan and get annual tune-ups built right in.

2. Strange Noises Are Coming from Your Unit

Rattling. Banging. Whining. If your furnace has developed a voice of its own, don’t ignore it. These sounds could point to loose components, blower issues, or worn belts—all of which are easier (and cheaper) to fix early.

3. Uneven Heating Throughout Your Home

Noticing cold spots in certain rooms? If your furnace isn’t distributing heat evenly, it could be due to airflow problems, dirty filters, or thermostat issues. A tune-up will help diagnose and correct the root cause before the cold sets in deeper.

4. Rising Energy Bills

If your utility costs have crept up and you’re not using more heat, your furnace might be working harder than it should. Clogged burners, dirty filters, and worn parts all reduce efficiency—and show up on your bill.

5. The Pilot Light or Thermostat Seems Off

A flickering or discolored pilot light can be a sign of poor combustion. If your thermostat isn’t responding correctly or you’re constantly adjusting it, that’s another red flag. These are both issues a technician should check before winter.

Why a Tune-Up Is Worth It

A furnace tune-up from Advantage Heating & Cooling includes:

✅ Full inspection and cleaning ✅ Safety checks on heat exchangers and gas connections ✅ Airflow testing and thermostat calibration ✅ Filter replacement (if needed) ✅ Honest recommendations with no upselling

It’s not just about comfort—it’s about safety, reliability, and making sure your system lasts as long as possible.

Why Make the Switch?

🔥 Lower Energy Bills

A high-efficiency furnace uses less fuel to do the same job, saving you money month after month—especially during long Colorado winters.

🌬️ Better Comfort

With two-stage or variable-speed motors, these systems adjust their output to match your home’s needs. That means more consistent temperatures, fewer hot-and-cold spots, and quieter operation.

🌱 A Greener Home

Burning less fuel means reducing your environmental footprint. Many homeowners choose high-efficiency furnaces as part of a larger effort to live more sustainably.

🛠️ Fewer Repairs & Longer Lifespan

High-efficiency systems tend to run cleaner and smoother, which reduces wear and tear over time—especially when paired with regular maintenance.

What’s the Best Heating System for Your Home?

Not every furnace is right for every home. At Advantage Heating & Cooling, we take the time to understand your home’s size, layout, insulation levels, and usage habits before recommending a system.

We proudly install Carrier® high-efficiency furnaces—built for Colorado’s unique climate and backed by industry-leading warranties. Whether you’re upgrading an old unit or building something new, we’ll walk you through your options clearly and honestly.

Local Service You Can Trust

Our experienced team has over 50 years of combined experience—and we’re proud to serve Colorado Springs families with high-efficiency furnace installation that’s efficient, reliable, and built to last.
