Air Conditioning and Plumbing Services in Denver, CO
When your AC quits in July, you don’t want a callback window three days out. We handle air conditioning repair in Denver the same day in most cases, along with installation, seasonal tune-ups, heat pump work, and swamp cooler service across the metro.
We’re also one of the few local companies licensed on both sides of the problem. Nathan Padilla holds a Colorado Master Plumber license earned in 2007 and passed the ICC National Standard Master Mechanical examination in 2013, so a clogged Drain line and a failing compressor get handled by the same team on the same visit.
Where cooling and plumbing overlap
A lot of cooling calls aren’t purely cooling problems. A clogged condensate drain line, an overflowing drain pan, or water collecting near an indoor air handler looks like an HVAC failure from the thermostat, but the actual fix often lives on the plumbing side.
That split is where a single-trade shop has to stop and refer the job out. We don’t. One technician can trace the condensate line, clear the blockage, check the pan and float switch, then verify refrigerant charge and airflow without a second appointment or a second invoice.
It’s the reason we describe ourselves as a plumbing, heating, and cooling company rather than an HVAC shop. If the water side of the problem runs deeper than the drain pan, our drain and sewer team is in the same building, and you can read more about Nathan’s credentials and background if you want to see the licensing behind it.
Cooling services we offer in the Denver metro
We cover residential and commercial cooling work across the metro, from a same-day capacitor swap to a full system changeout. One call covers the whole scope.
AC repair
Same-day service is common through the summer, and in July and August we prioritize no-cool calls because a dead AC isn't a minor inconvenience with kids, pets, or older family members at home. We diagnose first, quote the repair, then get your approval before anyone touches the equipment. See our AC repair services for what a typical visit covers.
AC maintenance
An annual tune-up catches the failing capacitor or the clogged condenser coil before it becomes an emergency call at 9pm in August. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, proper preventative maintenance can reduce utility bills by up to 30%. Our Total Home Care Club membership bundles the annual cooling tune-up with priority scheduling and member discounts. You can also book a standalone tune-up any time.
AC installation and replacement
If your system is near the end of its life, we'll walk through the repair-versus-replace math honestly and show you the sizing options for your home. Prime has completed an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 jobs since 2012, so system selection isn't guesswork here. For homeowners caught off guard by a mid-summer failure, flexible payment plans are available through GoodLeap. See our AC installation page for what's involved in a changeout.
Heat pump service and installation
A heat pump handles both cooling and heating from a single system, which makes it one of the stronger upgrades to consider if you’re already facing a full replacement. It moves heat out of the house in summer and reverses that in winter.
We install and service heat pumps across the metro and size the system to your home so it performs through both hot stretches and cold snaps. If your furnace is aging alongside your AC, our heating services cover that side of the decision too.
Swamp cooler service
Evaporative coolers still make good sense in a dry climate, and plenty of Denver homes run them well past the point where most contractors stopped servicing them. We repair, maintain, and install swamp coolers for residential and commercial properties.
Because these systems are as much a water problem as an air problem, the dual-trade coverage matters here more than anywhere else on the list.
Upfront pricing and same-day availability
Two things go wrong most often when someone calls a cooling company. The price at the end doesn’t match what they expected, and nobody can come out for a week.
Upfront pricing means the technician explains what the repair costs before starting. You know the number, you approve the work, and that’s what you pay. No hidden fees, no surprise diagnostic charges, no add-ons at the end.
Same-day availability isn’t a tagline for us. We’re family-owned, so the schedule doesn’t lock up the way a large franchise calendar does, and during peak summer we can often be at your door within one to two hours of your call.
Every job is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something isn’t right, we come back, own it, and work until it is. No drama, no hassle.

Most cooling problems are a straightforward repair. Replacement usually makes sense when the system is near the end of its service life, when the repair cost approaches a meaningful share of a new unit, or when efficiency has dropped far enough that you're paying for it every month. We'll show you the comparison and let you decide.
We serve Denver, Arvada, Aurora, Broomfield, Commerce City, Lakewood, Thornton, and Westminster from our headquarters at 7000 Broadway Suite 205, Denver, CO 80221. If you're nearby and don't see your city, call and we'll tell you.
What Denver customers say
Our technicians get named in reviews by first name, which is the part we’re proudest of. Read what homeowners and business owners across the metro have said about working with us.
Commercial cooling across the metro
We service restaurants, dental offices, apartment complexes, and multi-tenant buildings, and some of those accounts have been with us since 2012. Downtime costs you revenue or tenant goodwill, so commercial calls get the same prioritization our emergency residential work does.
If the job crosses into fixtures, backflow, or line work, our commercial plumbing team handles that under the same roof.
Schedule cooling service in Denver today
Denver’s dry air, high altitude, and sharp day-to-night swings put stress on cooling equipment that generic national guidance doesn’t account for. Nathan is a Denver native who has spent more than 27 years in the trades working in this exact climate, and the systems we recommend are calibrated for the metro.
If your AC quit today, don’t wait a week for someone to fit you in. Call (720) 542-8153 or request an appointment online and we’ll confirm your window.
