This is incredibly common during our first major autumn cold snaps. Dust settles on your furnace's heat exchanger over the spring and summer; when the burners kick on, that dust burns off, producing a temporary smell. If the smell persists for more than a few hours or turns into a plastic/electrical burning odor, shut the system off immediately and call us.

SEER2 measures the absolute energy efficiency of an air conditioner or heat pump under updated, rigorous testing standards. A higher SEER2 rating means the system consumes significantly less electricity to cool your home. Upgrading to a modern SEER2 system can dramatically lower your summer Xcel Energy bills.

Keep an eye out for water pooling around the indoor furnace/evaporator coil base, or water dripping directly from your ceiling if the unit is located upper-level. Most modern systems feature a safety float switch that automatically cuts power to your AC if water backs up, preventing costly home water damage.

Uneven heating or cooling is typically caused by restricted airflow, blocked registers, poor ductwork design, or lack of proper insulation. In multi-level Westminster homes, hot air naturally rises while cold air settles. Installing a specialized zoning system or multi-zone ductless mini-splits can completely eliminate these hot and cold spots.

Generally, no. R-22 refrigerant has been completely phased out due to environmental regulations, making any remaining supplies exceptionally expensive. If your older unit suffers a major breakdown or a refrigerant leak, investing those repair costs toward a modern, eco-friendly, and high-efficiency system is almost always the smarter long-term financial choice.
