Aurora HVAC Guides: Coolers, Furnaces and What Things Cost
Ten plain-English guides for Aurora homeowners — how to shut down an evaporative cooler before a freeze, what a furnace service actually covers, what things cost, and how to tell a fair contractor from an expensive one.
Start here
If a freeze is coming, read the cooler shutdown guide first — then the tonight checklist. If you are planning ahead, start with the $200 two-service visit. Our two fall services are $150 for an evaporative cooler shutdown and $150 for a gas furnace service, or $200 for both on one visit.
Cooling side · September–October
Cooler down
Drain the pan and supply line before the first hard freeze.
Heating side · October–November
Furnace up
Service and prove the furnace before the first cold snap.
Book both in one visit — $200, that is $100 off the $300 you would pay separately.
