High Groundwater and HVAC Services in LaSalle

Water under the house is the local factor that shapes LaSalle HVAC work. A Colorado State University Colorado Water Institute report to the state legislature on the South Platte recorded that farmers and homeowners in the Gilcrest and LaSalle area reported high groundwater damaging crops and flooding basements and septic systems. The state chose the Gilcrest and LaSalle area as one of two places to instrument for high water table pilot projects.

In a home where groundwater rises toward the slab, a furnace and water heater on the basement floor face two problems:

• Standing water that can reach burners, gas valves and electrical controls
• Constant dampness that rusts cabinet bottoms, burner assemblies and the base of the heat exchanger

Moisture also travels. A damp basement feeds humidity into return ducts, which can grow mold on the coil and in the duct system.

Our practical steps for LaSalle basements: set the furnace and water heater on raised, noncombustible stands; route condensate to a sump with a reliable pump; add dehumidification where the space stays damp; and check the furnace base for rust at every tune-up. On a replacement, we look at whether the equipment can move up a level altogether.

Utilities and Rebates in LaSalle

Atmos Energy provides natural gas in LaSalle, and Xcel Energy provides electricity.

• Atmos Energy: 80 percent of cost, up to $3,000, on a 95 percent AFUE or higher furnace; $50 toward an annual tune-up by a licensed contractor; $663 for qualifying duct sealing.
• Xcel Energy: as your electric utility, Xcel pays its standard heat pump rebate, effective October 1, 2026: $300 per cooling ton for a qualifying ducted air-source heat pump, or $750 per heating ton for a cold-climate model. Xcel reserves its bonus amounts for homes heated with Xcel natural gas, so an Atmos-gas home gets the standard rate.
• Colorado Heat Pump Tax Credit: applied as an invoice discount on a qualifying 2026 install.

Permits in LaSalle

Town staff process permits, and LaSalle contracts with ProCode, an independent inspection agency, for inspections. Furnaces and air conditioners, gas lines, water heaters and swamp coolers are all on the Town’s list of projects requiring a permit.

• The Town warns that fees may be doubled if work starts before the permit is issued.
• A 2 percent use tax applies to materials.

We pull the permit before work starts on every job that needs one. Ask any contractor for proof of insurance and EPA Section 608 certification. We at Homegrown Heating and Air Conditioning are licensed and insured. We also pull HVAC permits in unincorporated Weld County, where no contractor license is required.

Sizing Equipment for a LaSalle Winter

Weld County uses a winter design temperature of 1 degree for the area, and we size from a load calculation at that temperature. LaSalle’s original townsite dates to the early 1900s, so many older homes have ductwork that was added later and never matched to the equipment. We measure static pressure before we recommend a bigger furnace for a comfort problem.

What a LaSalle Service Visit Includes

• A measured diagnostic with written readings
• Photos of the furnace base, burners and anything else you cannot easily see
• An upfront price before any work starts
• A combustion and safety check after gas appliance work
• A plain answer on repair versus replacement

Two Jobs That Show the Approach

Dry winter air is the opposite problem from a damp basement, and a whole-house humidifier handles it. One homeowner wanted one installed quickly.

Judi Clayburg wrote: “They literally fit me in the next day and were priced at what I expected to pay for whole house humidity.”

A humidifier on the supply side of a furnace needs a drain and a properly set humidistat, and in a home with a damp basement we set it conservatively.

Documentation matters too. ed burns wrote: “Dan was very thorough in his duties and explained what he did with pictures and explanation of the job.” Photos are how you see corrosion on a basement furnace without crawling behind it. Read more customer reviews.
