Pueblo & Pueblo County, Colorado

Cool air, the Pueblo way.

Canyon installs and looks after swamp coolers, air conditioning, furnaces and heat pumps for Pueblo homes and businesses — and tells you straight which kind of cooling suits yours.

Schedule a visit Swamp cooler or AC?
The big question

Evaporative or refrigerated?

Both work in Pueblo. They pull in different directions. Here are three of the factors — the full tug-of-war has eight.

  • Electricity use

    Strongly evaporative. A fan and a small pump.

  • Humid monsoon days

    Strongly AC. Evaporation slows when the air is damp.

  • Smoke & pollen days

    Leans AC. Windows stay shut; a filter does the work.

All eight factors, and what we'd recommend

Who we work for

Houses and buildings, both.

Homes

For your house.

Older brick bungalows near downtown, ranch houses on the Mesa, newer homes in Pueblo West. Swamp coolers started and winterized, central air and heat pumps installed and repaired, furnaces kept safe.

  • Spring cooler start-ups and fall winterizing.
  • AC and heat pump repair and replacement.
  • Furnace tune-ups and repair before winter.

Businesses

For your building.

Warehouses and shops cooled by big evaporative units, offices and restaurants on rooftop AC, and heat for all of them. Scheduled so your doors stay open.

  • Commercial evaporative coolers for shops and warehouses.
  • Rooftop units for offices, clinics, retail and restaurants.
  • Seasonal maintenance with a note after every visit.

Questions

What Pueblo asks us.

Is a swamp cooler or air conditioning better in Pueblo?

It depends on what matters to you. Evaporative coolers work well in dry heat and use much less electricity, but they need water, fresh air through open windows and seasonal upkeep, and they struggle on humid days. Refrigerated air works in any weather and keeps the house closed, at a higher running cost. Many Pueblo homes do well with either; some use both.

When should my swamp cooler be started and winterized?

Start-up usually happens in spring once freezing nights are over: new pads, water line reconnected, pump and belt checked. Before the first hard freeze in fall it should be drained, the water line shut off and disconnected, and the unit covered or closed off from the house.

Why does my swamp cooler stop working well in July?

Evaporative cooling depends on dry air. On humid days, often during the summer monsoon, the air cannot take up as much water, so the cooler cools less. Worn pads, a weak pump or too little open window area make it worse.

Do you work on commercial buildings?

Yes. Warehouses and shops with evaporative cooling, offices and restaurants with rooftop units, and heating for all of them.

Do you service furnaces too?

Yes. Furnace and heat pump repair, tune-ups and replacement for homes and businesses across Pueblo County.
