About
AirBear Heating & Cooling is an owner-operated HVAC company serving Fort Collins and nearby Northern Colorado homes. We help with furnace, AC, boiler, swamp cooler, and maintenance needs. Thumbtack customers can ask about our $30 repair credit. The credit applies to qualifying completed HVAC repairs and is not valid for diagnostic-only visits, maintenance, or replacements. You’ll work directly with a real local technician, not a sales team. We diagnose the issue, explain your options, and get your approval before repairs begin.

Airbear serviced our old air conditioner and focused on fixing the one we had, not trying to upsell us something we couldn’t afford. I posted a service inquiry to multiple professionals. Airbear responded within the day. It took three days for another to respond. Chris came to assess our situation and he seemed knowledgeable and seemed to care about helping solve our problem as affordability as he could (also I hired him and he did).

I had three small projects for Chris: my furnace wasn’t firing, a pipe was leaking and needed welding, and my central humidifier wasn’t producing water. Chris was amazing — he responded to my message within a minute and arrived right on time. He carefully diagnosed and fixed the furnace issue, which turned out to be caused by a blocked air pipe on the air pressure switch. He welded the leaking pipe and quickly identified the humidifier problem — it was due to both the thermostat and the sensor — and fixed it efficiently. Chris even took pictures after completing the work to keep detailed project records. He’s the only HVAC technician I’ve met who charges just a small diagnostic fee ($90) and then fairly bills for labor and materials. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and delivers excellent-quality work. Chris will definitely be my go-to HVAC expert for any future projects. Highly recommended!

My furnace needed emergency attention, and Chris was at my house in 15 minutes. He promptly assessed the issue, offered options for resolution, and fixed it. He took his time, did a great job, and charged me a more-than-reasonable fee. He's got my business from here on out.

Chris the owner of Air Bear is an honest, reliable technician. He'll tell you how he can fix your furnace if possible not just try to sell you a new one. He can show you the inside of the furnace and explain how it works and what's going on. Really a nice and easy guy to work with and honest, the most important part.
