I also want to give Layla in the office a shout out. I have talked to her numerous times on the phone. She is always friendly and caring as she schedules appointments, lets me know when the technician is on their way or is unavoidably delayed.
I have used Big Cat for both HVAC and plumbing and will continue to do so.
My outside hose bib was having some pressure issues and leaking, so I called Big Cat to see if they could help fix it. They theorized it was busted from freezing, but the hard part was actually accessing it to prove it was a freeze break for insurance purposes and to get it fixed.
They did an awesome job navigating the tight access, proved the break, and got it fully repaired. They were incredibly professional throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!
What started as a leaking kitchen sink drain turned into one of those, “Well… that’s a much bigger problem than I expected” situations. The pipe runs down through my son’s room and underneath our concrete slab. Being convinced I could fix it myself (because YouTube has never lied to me before), I started tearing into it. It didn’t take long to realize the cast-iron pipe was in far worse shape than I imagined.
That’s when I called Big Cat Plumbing, Heating & Cooling.
From the moment they arrived, I knew I was in good hands. Sam, the lead plumber, was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, professional, honest, and took the time to explain everything without making me feel foolish for trying it myself. After inspecting everything, they found that it wasn’t just the kitchen drain—the cast-iron piping underneath much of the house had deteriorated and needed attention.
This was a major job, but Sam and his crew handled it with incredible skill and professionalism. They went above and beyond, communicated every step of the process, treated our home with respect, and made a stressful situation so much easier than it could have been.
If you’re thinking about tackling a plumbing project yourself, here’s my advice: know your limits. Mine apparently comes right after spending an entire day running a jackhammer through concrete, only to discover I’d barely scratched the surface of the actual problem. My back filed for retirement, my arms stopped working, and that’s when I called Big Cat. Looking back, I probably should’ve just started there.
Huge thanks to Sam and the entire team. Hopefully I won’t need a plumber again anytime soon—but if I do, I know exactly who I’m calling.

Swamp Coolers FAQs
Absolutely. Swamp coolers work best in low-humidity environments like Colorado Springs. They’re an excellent fit for our dry summer climate.
At least twice a year—before and after the cooling season. Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and extends your system’s life.
It’s not recommended. Swamp coolers add moisture to the air, while ACs remove it. Using both can reduce performance and cause imbalance.
