What Your Neighbors Are Saying
This place is amazing they came here early this morning August 28th at 8:00 a.m. supposed to be here at 9:00 they're on the ball they got the job done they put this one cooler in brand new the guys are excellent workers I would recommend them tremendously with anything electrical or swamp coolers above they're excellent excellent I give them 50,000 there they need some rewards there's some Oscars
We had a huge leak in our gas line and our gas was turned off by the city. Big Cat came out same day to look at it and give us a quote on what it would cost. Our sales rep. Was Jeff, he was great didn’t try to sell us anything unnecessary or add extra price to our cost he was fair and consistent with his pricing. Unfortunately the price was way above what we could afford so they offered us a 15 year loan with a low interest rate, which we greatly appreciated. The person who did the majority of the work was Sam (I think, cute kid with a bucket hat) he worked around the clock to get our gas
The technicians, Chris and Justin, were prompt keeping the appointment. They were friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. The problem with my 25 year old HVAC unit was diagnosed and repaired. They gave me a run down on the overall condition and health of my unit and provided a replacement option for my consideration.
I am very happy with Big Cat Plumbing. The woman who answers the phone was kind and professional. The plumber, D, was wonderful and professional. He gave me an honest assessment on my plumbing issues and did not try to upsell me (which he could have). He was quick and efficient and fixed our issues.
Wyatt and Nate were our installers for a new HVAC and Heat Pump system. They were friendly and knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had. Installation was a big job removing the old system and putting in the new system. Wyatt fixed a couple of venting issues on our water heater and secured an air intake for us. Wyatt is professional and goes beyond expectations to be sure our home is safe for us. Thank you Big Cat for employing the best.
Had BIGCAT do what previous owners of our home should have done. They did a THOROUGH job, cleaned coils, ducts, dryer vent, fogged duct work, returns and vents and wiped everything down. Once again another team: Wyatt, Victor and manager Rob, all were very professional, courteous, and kind. Price was reasonable. And very much worth it.
“Buy an old house, they said… It’ll be fun, they said…” 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!
Chris was absolutely Top Notch! I swear you guys have some of the best electrician/plumber/all sorts of everything fixer/every man repair people there! I love it! So thank you again! CHRIS showed up got things working propererly and he has the best personality ever! Chris is really cool if you're needing repairs! I hope you win the lottery and get Chris for your technician when you need someonehandy! Thanks again guys! I REALLLLLY appreciate your help!
Outstanding service! Great people. We discussed new systems for HVAC and water heater, very well managed by Justin, not pushy but very informative. Really knowledgeable and good person; thanks

Heating Challenges in Colorado Springs Homes
Heating systems in Colorado Springs face unique challenges due to the region’s elevation, dramatic temperature swings, and harsh winter conditions. These factors can impact system performance, efficiency, and overall comfort if not properly addressed.
Common heating challenges homeowners experience include:
- High elevation and thin air: At 6,000+ feet, heating systems must be properly sized and derated for thinner air, or they’ll struggle to run efficiently and safely.
- Palmer Divide cold snaps: Sudden overnight drops into the teens push furnaces and boilers to their limits, and older or undersized systems can fail right when you need them most.
- Chinook wind swings: Temperature swings of 40°F or more in a single day cause systems to cycle more frequently, increasing wear and shortening equipment life.
- Freeze-thaw stress and dusty winds: Colorado Springs’ freeze-thaw cycles and dry, dust-heavy winds put extra strain on components, clog filters, and reduce heating efficiency over time.
- Uneven heating in multi-level homes: Many homes in Colorado Springs experience cold upper floors or drafty rooms due to airflow imbalances and heat distribution challenges.
Regular heating service in Colorado Springs helps your system handle these conditions more effectively, improving performance, efficiency, and long-term reliability all winter long.

Why You Should Hire a Licensed Heating Contractor in Colorado Springs
When Palmer Divide cold snaps drop nights into the teens, Chinook winds swing temps 40° in a day, and high-altitude air punishes equipment, heating isn’t a luxury — it’s survival. Choosing Big Cat, a licensed Colorado Springs heating contractor, protects your home, budget, and peace of mind.
- High-Altitude Expertise: At 6,000+ ft, systems must be sized and derated for thin air. Licensed pros tune combustion, adjust gas pressure, and set airflow for safe, efficient operation.
- Safety Comes First: Gas lines, venting, and electrical work demand precision. We complete combustion analysis, leak checks, and CO testing to protect your home.

- Quality Workmanship: Licensed contractors are held to strict standards. Expect clear diagnostics, right-sized solutions, and repairs that last through temperature swings.
