South Platte River
The river forms Globeville's eastern edge and is the reason basement equipment placement gets a floodplain check here.

HVAC in Globeville: Keep the Furnace Above the Flood Line
Globeville is Denver's lowest-lying neighborhood, and the river has flooded it before. We work the 1890s-1920s smelter-town bungalows of Central Globeville, where furnaces in basements and at grade sit in the South Platte floodplain. Call (720) 806-7634 and tell us what your system is doing.

HVAC Services We Run Through Globeville
Globeville is a smelter town founded in 1891, annexed by Denver in 1902, and it is the lowest-lying neighborhood in the area — river plain, between I-25 and I-70, with a flood history that shapes where equipment should sit. Small 1890s–1920s worker bungalows, a high water table, and damp basements are the working conditions here.
Ductless Mini-Split InstallationA wall-hung head beats a basement air handler in the floodplain. One or two heads can cover a small Globeville bungalow without new ductwork, and the equipment sits above the water instead of in it.View details →Furnace RepairThe gas furnace in a small older home — sometimes with flood exposure in the basement — gets the burner, heat exchanger and flue looked at, along with the basement's moisture. A furnace that has been wet fails differently from one that has just worn out, so the visit looks for both.View details →Air Conditioning RepairA retrofitted cooling system in a small home with no central-AC history usually fails at the condenser or at the ducts that were added around it. The refrigerant and electrics get looked at first, then the airflow, since the runs in a house this small were often improvised.View details →Indoor Air Quality ServicesThe highway and industrial edges bring particulates, and a swamp cooler pulls in unfiltered air. Media filters and fresh-air ventilators get fitted and the return air gets checked for dust bypass, so the system filters the air it moves instead of just moving it.View details →Duct RepairBasement and crawl-space runs here fail at the joints and at damp-damaged sections. The duct gets reconnected and supported properly instead of taped over, so a damp basement stops shortening the system's life.View details →

How We Run HVAC Work in Globeville
Don't put the furnace where the river goes. These are the three patterns we see most here.
Don't put the furnace where the river goes
Globeville is the lowest-lying neighborhood in the area, and storms beyond a 2-year event historically flooded homes here. Furnaces and water heaters in basements or at grade are at real flood risk.
How we help: We look at equipment elevation and basement moisture before a replacement, and we talk through placement options, including wall-hung ductless heads, when a furnace has already been through flood water.
The small-footprint retrofit
A modest one-and-a-half-storey bungalow does not need a big system, and many of these homes still have no central AC at all.
How we help: We lean on ductless mini-splits for the smallest homes, since one or two heads can cover the whole house without new ductwork.
Sump pumps and furnace interplay
The high water table and floodplain mean damp and sump pumps are recurring issues in Globeville basements, and a furnace sitting beside a sump pit needs attention.
How we help: We check the basement moisture picture as part of furnace work, so a damp basement does not quietly shorten the new system's life.

Navigating Globeville: Landmarks We Use
Globeville is the smelter-town neighborhood on the river plain, and the Platte is its landmark. We use the highways as the hard edges and Globeville Landing Park as the stormwater project that explains the flood history.
Globeville Landing Park
Globeville Landing Park is the stormwater project designed for the 100-year storm, built because smaller storms historically flooded homes, businesses, rail and I-70 here.
I-25 and I-70
I-25 and I-70 are the hard edges of the neighborhood and the corridors that bring traffic exposure to the residential core.
Central Globeville
Central Globeville is the small residential core surrounded by industrial land, where the 1890s-1920s worker cottages still stand.

Globeville HVAC FAQ
HVAC in Globeville: Common Questions
Lion Tech Home Services can help if your question is not answered here.
Call (720) 806-7634 →Not always. Globeville is the lowest-lying neighborhood in the area, and furnaces in basements or at grade are at real flood risk. Elevation and moisture get looked at before a replacement, and wall-hung ductless heads are sometimes the better answer.
A ductless mini-split is the classic retrofit for a small Globeville bungalow, since one or two heads can cover the whole house without new ductwork. The heads go in the rooms that get lived in, and the equipment stays out of the basement.
The high water table and floodplain mean damp and sump pumps are recurring issues here. The basement moisture picture gets checked as part of furnace work, so a damp basement does not shorten the new system's life.
The ASARCO and Globeville Landing Superfund history is soil context, not an HVAC fact. The neighborhood is not presented as currently contaminated, and the work in front of us is heating, cooling and filtration.
