Cool air when the heat is on.
Hot water is not reaching the coil, often because of a failed pump, a stuck valve or air trapped in the water line.

How Hydronic Heating Works in Denver Condos
If your condo has no furnace closet, look up. In many condos and apartments, the heat comes from a hydronic air handler tucked into the ceiling. In systems connected to a water heater, hot water runs through a coil while the blower pushes warm air through your vents. You may even recognize the equipment by a name like Aqua-Therm®.
When the heat quits, the issue may be a pump, valve, blower, control or another part of the hot-water setup. Havana Solutions checks the system, finds what failed and tells you whether repair or a compatible hydronic replacement makes more sense.

Signs Your Hydronic Air Handler Needs Repair
A hydronic system has more moving parts than it looks like from the vent. When your condo stops warming up on a cold Colorado night, one of these is usually the reason.
Hot water runs out faster than it used to.
If your water heater supplies both your faucets and hydronic heat, a loss of hot-water capacity can affect both at the same time.
Water dripping from the ceiling unit.
A leaking coil, valve or water connection can cause dripping during heating. If the unit also handles your AC, a clogged condensate drain or drain pan problem can cause water during cooling.
Weak airflow from the vents.
A clogged filter or a failing blower motor limits how much warm air reaches your rooms, even when the water is hot.
Gurgling, banging or humming.
Air in the water line or a failing pump can make noise every time the heat comes on.
Heat that comes and goes.
A faulty thermostat, control board or valve can shut the system off before the space ever warms up.
Wondering if your unit is worth fixing? If it is past saving, we will price a like-for-like replacement next to the repair so you can compare. For other air handler work, see Air Handler Repair & Installation, or compare every heating option on our Heating Contractor page.
Hydronic Air Handler Repair Cost in Denver
- Your first visit is a $70 diagnostic, and that fee is credited toward the repair if you move forward.
- For a hydronic air handler, the final cost depends on what failed, whether the problem is in the air handler or the hot-water side, and how easy the ceiling-mounted unit is to access.
- A pump, valve, blower or control repair is priced differently from a leaking coil or a full replacement.
- If the unit needs replacing, we also look at the existing water connections, available space and building access before quoting the job.
- You get the price in writing before work starts, and FTL Finance is available for qualifying replacements
We Tell You Which One Makes Sense
Repair or Replace Your Hydronic Air Handler?
Many hydronic air handler problems come down to one part. A pump, valve, blower motor or control board can be replaced on its own while the rest of the unit keeps working. A full replacement makes more sense when the unit keeps failing or the coil itself is worn out, and we will tell you which side of that line yours is on.
| Repair | Replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| When it fits | One part has failed on a unit that is otherwise sound | Failures keep returning or the coil is worn out |
| What we check | The failed part, plus the pump, valves and water heater feeding it | The space, the water connections and the existing unit |
| What changes | The failed part is replaced | A new unit of the same type goes in the same space |
| How it is priced | The diagnostic, then the part and the work | A written quote once we see the space |
| Your call | You approve the repair before it starts | You choose whether to replace, with the quote in hand |
We Know How These Systems Fit Together
Why Denver Condo Owners Choose Havana Solutions
We check the water heater and the air handler together.
In water-heater-fed systems, poor heating can start on either side. We check the air handler, hot-water supply and the components connecting them so we do not stop at the first symptom.
Ceiling-mounted units are part of our regular work.
Many hydronic air handlers sit above finished ceilings instead of in a utility closet. We plan for that access before the visit, which helps keep the work cleaner and more organized in condos and apartments.
You get clear options before work starts.
We show you what we found, explain the repair or replacement options and give you a written price before moving forward. Owner Deivy is NATE and EPA 608 certified, and Havana Solutions is insured.
How a Hydronic Air Handler Visit Works
Four steps take you from a cold condo back to steady heat.
Tell us about the unit
Let us know where the air handler is mounted, what the heat is doing and whether your hot water has changed too. We also ask about building access so we can plan the visit properly.
We trace the problem
Our technician checks the system from the hot-water source through the pump, valves, coil, blower and controls to find where the heating process is breaking down.
You approve the price
We explain what failed, show you the available options and give you a written price before any repair or replacement work begins.
We repair and test
Once the work is complete, we run the system, check airflow and confirm the hydronic loop is heating properly before we leave.
Book a Hydronic Air Handler Visit
No Heat in Your Condo?
When a ceiling-mounted hydronic air handler stops heating, the condo can cool down quickly, and building access can add another layer to the repair. Havana Solutions offers same-day visits when scheduling allows. Let us know if we need to coordinate access with building management.
Tell Us What the Unit Is Doing
Call (720) 659-2059 and tell us where the unit is mounted, what the heat is doing and whether anything has changed with your hot water. That helps us plan the visit and bring the right equipment.
Calling After Regular Hours?
Our regular hours are 8am to 5pm. After-hours visits are available at a different rate, which we explain before booking.

Hydronic Air Handler FAQs
01What is a hydronic air handler?
A hydronic air handler heats your home with hot water instead of a gas burner or an electric element. Hot water from the water heater flows through a coil in the air handler, and a blower pushes air across the coil and out through your vents.
02How much does hydronic air handler repair cost in Denver?
A hydronic air handler visit starts with a $70 diagnostic, credited toward the repair if you go ahead. The final price depends on which part failed, and you get it in writing before we start.
03Can I replace a hydronic air handler with a different system?
Usually not. Buildings with hydronic air handlers are generally designed around them, so a failed unit is replaced with the same type. We confirm the options for your space at the visit.
04Do you work on hydronic air handlers in houses too?
Yes. Most hydronic air handlers are in condos and apartments, but Havana Solutions services them in houses as well.
05Do you work with apartment owners and building managers?
Yes. Havana Solutions services hydronic air handlers for apartment owners and property managers as well as individual condo owners.
06Can I get hydronic air handler repair after hours?
Yes. After-hours visits are available outside our regular 8am to 5pm hours at a different rate, which we tell you before booking.
