About Florence

History of Florence & Things To Do

Florence is one of Colorado's oldest towns, founded in 1872 along the Arkansas River in eastern Fremont County. It earned the nickname "Antique Capital of Colorado" thanks to its downtown district filled with antique shops, galleries, and restored historic buildings. The town grew around coal mining and oil production — Colorado's first commercial oil well was drilled nearby in 1862. (Wikipedia)

Today Florence blends small-town charm with outdoor access. The Pathfinder Park along the Arkansas River offers walking trails and picnic areas. Historic Main Street hosts seasonal events, farmers markets, and community gatherings. Nearby Newlin Creek Trail and Phantom Canyon Road provide hiking and scenic drives. The town is also close to the Royal Gorge and Canon City attractions.

Florence's housing is predominantly older construction from the early-to-mid 1900s, with thick walls and original ductwork that often leaks conditioned air. Newer homes on the outskirts are better insulated but still face the same elevation and climate challenges. Many homes have oversized or undersized HVAC systems from previous installations.

Trusted HVAC Services in Florence

Florence's position along the Arkansas River valley at 5,187 feet creates its own microclimate. Cool river air meets warm canyon winds, causing rapid temperature shifts that cycle HVAC systems between heating and cooling modes during spring and fall. Add elevation effects on compressors and combustion, and you have a demanding environment for equipment.

We have been servicing Florence and eastern Fremont County for over two decades. Our technicians understand the older construction common in Florence — original ductwork, gravity furnace conversions, and the challenges of retrofitting modern HVAC into historic homes. We carry the parts and knowledge to handle these specific situations.

Local Challenges

HVAC Challenges in Florence

Florence's older housing stock and river valley climate create unique HVAC challenges for homeowners and business owners.

Older Home Construction

Many Florence homes date to the early 1900s with original ductwork, inadequate insulation, and HVAC systems that were retrofitted into spaces not designed for them. Proper duct sealing and system sizing are critical.

River Valley Temperature Shifts

Cool air settling along the Arkansas River at night and warm canyon winds during the day create rapid temperature shifts that cycle HVAC systems more frequently, increasing wear on thermostats and contactors.

Leaky Ductwork

Original ductwork in Florence homes typically loses 20-35% of conditioned air through gaps and disconnections in crawl spaces and attics. Professional duct sealing pays for itself quickly in energy savings.

Dust & Dry Climate

Like the rest of Fremont County, Florence's dry climate means constant dust accumulation on filters and coils. Indoor humidity drops below 20% in winter, affecting comfort and stressing HVAC components.

Altitude Adjustments

At 5,187 feet, gas furnaces need altitude-adjusted orifices and AC systems require precise refrigerant charging. Equipment installed without these adjustments runs inefficiently and wears out faster.

Retrofitting Historic Homes

Installing modern HVAC in historic Florence homes requires creative solutions — ductless mini-splits, high-velocity systems, and strategically placed equipment that respects the home's character while providing comfort.

Our Process

Our HVAC Service Process

Every job follows the same careful approach, whether it is a simple repair or a complete system installation.

1

Inspection

We thoroughly examine your HVAC system — checking refrigerant pressures, electrical connections, airflow, combustion efficiency, and ductwork condition. No guessing. We find the actual problem.

2

Planning

Based on the inspection, we explain what needs to happen and why. For older Florence homes, we assess existing ductwork condition and calculate load requirements accounting for the home's age and insulation.

3

Installation or Repair

We complete the work using quality parts and following manufacturer specifications. Installations include proper ductwork connections, electrical hookups, refrigerant charging for our altitude, and thermostat setup.

4

Final Performance Check

Before we leave, we run the system through a full cycle, verify temperature at every vent, check for duct leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set correctly. We walk you through the system and answer any questions.
