Fairway Heating and Cooling

05/03/2026

Good afternoon! I just wanted to share some information that isn't widely known.

Colorado has passed me laws for furnaces and water heaters. It's the low NOX laws. What this means is that some Colorado businesses that supply us with furnaces will no longer be able to sell 80 percent units. What this means is that new furnaces have to be 95 percent or higher efficiency rating.

If your old furnace is or has a metal flue then it's 80 percent. Now all furnaces will have to have plastic flues. In telling you this if you have a basement that's finished it's going to cost you more. They will need to tear up some ceilings to get the flue outside. Then of course fix the area that was torn up.

The new nox law is

The effective date for bills enacted without a safety clause is August 12, 2026, if the GA adjourns sine die on May 13, 2026 (unless otherwise specified). Read more.

So more questions today. I had a 3 ton condenser and they told me it was to small. This is called an up sell. Problem is if your ducting isn't sized for a larger unit is going to cause issues.

If your ducting was designed for a 3 ton system then it was designed for 3 tons. A 4 ton condensing unit needs to be sized to a 4 ton evap coil and a 4 ton air handler including a 4 ton ducting system. You need static pressure tests to confirm sizing and air movement.

I was asked this question today. Do you do complete installs. Yes we do and we can do your manual J, D and S as well. We do new construction residential and commercial.

Getting a lot of questions about purchasing old equipment. I would suggest not purchasing anything that's been installed. You do not know if it has a problem or has had problems in the past.

Most units are only good for 15 to 17 years. Anything older than that would be a complete waste of money. I do not know if anyone that would even warranty anything that wasn't new to install. Furthermore most insurance companies can deny claims based on someone installing old equipment. Even the manufacturer would not back these types of installs.

Have a great day!

Good evening! I have come across several units in the past few days that aren't running correctly. In talking to the clients I am learning there is someone doing " blow and go". That means the units aren't vacuumed down to 29.9 inches of mercury. It causes contamination in the lines and makes the unit less efficient.

It can cause an acid to form and kill the compressor. Please remember filter chages monthly and routine maintenance.
