HVAC in West Colfax for Bungalows with Basement Tenants
HVAC in West Colfax is the Colfax bungalow with a basement tenant. The residential blocks here are dominated by 1920s brick bungalows and historic Victorians — examples from 1922 to 1929, many with finished basements — plus duplexes and newer townhomes and condos near Sloan Lake and the W Line. Basement rental units appear in rental listings, so one old system now serves two households. Lion Tech Home Services zones those lower levels and cools the bungalow around them.

West Colfax is the Colfax bungalow with a basement tenant: 1920s brick bungalows and historic Victorians whose rented garden-level units turn one old system into two households. Ductless leads the list for the lower level, boiler work covers the oldest homes, and furnace and AC work covers the bungalow above, with ductwork for the second zone the house never had.

How We Run HVAC Calls in West Colfax
Two households, one old system is the problem to solve here. Here is how we handle the three situations that come up most in West Colfax.
Two households, one old system
A 1920s brick bungalow that now has a rented garden-level unit has two households on one old system. One thermostat cannot serve an upstairs family and a basement tenant at once.
How we help: We zone the lower level separately — a dedicated ductless head with its own thermostat — so the tenant's rooms hold their own temperature without freezing or baking the upstairs.
Boilers and retrofitted forced-air
The pre-1930 bungalows and Victorians run boilers or retrofitted forced-air, with ductless as the practical cooling add. Each conversion left its own duct quirks and cold rooms.
How we help: We test the boiler and the radiation it serves, or the retrofitted duct system as it stands, before recommending a repair or a replacement.
Block foundations and basement moisture
Full basements are common here, and block foundations bring moisture and insulation themes. A basement rental unit needs ventilation and dehumidification as well as heat.
How we help: We check basement moisture and insulation before zoning a lower level, and we size dehumidification for the below-grade rooms.

FAQs About HVAC in West Colfax
Lion Tech Home Services can help if your question is not answered here.
Call (720) 806-7634 →Ductless mini-splits for rented garden-level units, boiler repair for the oldest homes, furnace repair, AC installation, and ductwork for second zones. Reach Lion Tech Home Services at (720) 806-7634 with the house type and the symptom in hand.
A rented garden-level unit that loses heat during a January cold snap or a bungalow AC that fails on a July afternoon does not keep business hours. In West Colfax, the phone is answered day and night: (720) 806-7634.
In a West Colfax bungalow, watch for a garden-level unit that is always cold or always hot while the main floor is fine, a furnace short cycling as it tries to serve two households, or damp air below grade. The rented lower level is the local sign.
Yes. Most of the calls here come from 1920s brick bungalows and historic Victorians on the residential blocks, plus duplexes and newer townhomes and condos near Sloan Lake and the W Line. The 1920s bungalow with a finished basement is the house type that defines the calls.
Usually not. One old system cannot serve two households with different schedules and different comfort needs, and the rented garden-level unit needs its own zone, typically a ductless head with its own thermostat, plus dehumidification for the below-grade space. The main system is then left to serve the bungalow above.
