Heating and air conditioning in Lakewood
Much of Lakewood went up between the 1950s and the 1970s, and many of those houses now run their third furnace through the original ducts. Mateo covers Lakewood and starts his day near Belmar.

Homes we work on in Lakewood
1950s brick ranches with full basements
The furnace sits in the basement with the ducts in the ceiling joists. The supply runs were sized for heating, so the bedrooms at the far end lag behind in summer.
Green Mountain split-levels from the 1970s
Long runs to the upper level and a single return. The lower level stays cold in winter and the upper level hot in summer. Balancing dampers and a second return help more than a bigger furnace.
Townhomes and lofts around Belmar
Compact air handlers in closets, condensers on roofs or in tight side yards. The filters are hard to reach, so they get forgotten.
What we fix most often in Lakewood
- Furnaces never set up for altitude
- We still find furnaces running on their sea-level setup. They burn rich, leave soot and wear out the heat exchanger early. A combustion test shows it in minutes.
- Wind off the foothills
- West-side houses take the downslope winds first. Loose vent caps and flue pipes get checked on every fall tune-up.
- One return for the whole house
- A single return grille for a 1950s ranch is common. The blower works harder and the house never quite evens out.

Mateo found that our old furnace had never been set up for the altitude. That explained the soot on the vent. The new one runs clean and quiet, and the invoice matched the estimate to the dollar.

How do I know if my furnace was set up for the altitude?
Sometimes there's a high-altitude tag near the burners, but the sure way is a combustion test. We run one on every furnace tune-up and adjust the setup to the manufacturer's high-altitude instructions.
