Colorado Springs was founded in 1871 by General William Jackson Palmer as a resort community at the foot of Pikes Peak. Today it is Colorado's second-largest city with over 480,000 residents and a major military hub hosting Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, the Air Force Academy, and NORAD. The city has earned recognition as one of the best places to live in the U.S. (Wikipedia)
Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center draw millions of visitors annually. The city offers world-class hiking on trails like Incline, Red Rock Canyon, and North Cheyenne Canyon Park. Downtown Colorado Springs has undergone significant revitalization with restaurants, breweries, and cultural venues.
Colorado Springs housing spans over a century — from Victorian-era homes in Old North End and Ivywild to mid-century neighborhoods in the Broadmoor area and massive new developments in the northeast and east. Each era of construction brings different HVAC challenges, from undersized original ductwork to builder-grade systems in newer homes.
