Are You Unsure if You Really Need a Full Replacement or Expensive Repair?

At 2nd Opinion HVAC, we believe homeowners deserve honesty, not upsells. If you’ve been given an HVAC repair or replacement estimate that feels steep—or you just want to make sure you’re making the right decision—we provide a free, no-obligation second opinion so you know exactly what you’re getting into. 

Whether it’s a furnace repair in Wheat Ridge, a heat pump replacement in Arvada, or an AC install in Lakewood, we give you an honest, expert evaluation so you can make the right decision for your home, comfort, and budget.

What We Do

Our second opinion service includes:

• Review of the estimate or diagnosis you've already received from another HVAC company.
• Full system inspection—furnace, heat pump, A/C, ductwork, indoor air quality components—whatever part of your system is in question.
• Verification of what’s actually wrong (i.e. root cause), not just what appears broken.
• Assessment of viable options: repair vs replace, short-term fix vs long-term planning, energy-efficiency upgrades.
• Honest cost comparison. We’ll show you what things should cost, factoring in parts, labor, efficiency, and your home’s needs.
• Transparent recommendations. If replacement is necessary, we’ll explain why and provide you a quote that's reasonable and focused on the value for your home.

Why Get a Second Opinion with Us?

Here are the benefits many homeowners don’t fully realize:

• Avoid Unnecessary Costs — Sometimes what’s presented as a major repair or replacement can be solved with a smaller fix. Getting another expert look often catches those. 
• Fair Denver Pricing — Estimates for the same problem can vary wildly. A second opinion gives you a clearer idea of what’s reasonable. 
• Peace of Mind — You’ll know with confidence that the recommendation you choose is justified, not just pushed on you.
• Better Decisions Long Term — We help you see full spectrum of options: maybe invest a little now to avoid big costs later; perhaps choose equipment with better efficiency; maybe extend the life of what you have with proper maintenance.

How It Works

1. Send or show us your current diagnosis or quote
   If you have a written estimate or report, great. If not, we’ll perform our own inspection.
2. Schedule a free assessment
   We’ll come to your home, inspect the system, test, and compare against your received quote.
3. Get our report
   We’ll share a clear, itemized evaluation: what’s truly needed, what’s optional, and what you shouldn’t pay for.
4. You decide your path forward
   Whether you proceed with us (or another provider), you’ll do so with clarity—not uncertainty.

When You Should Definitely Get a Second Opinion

Here are some red flags you might already be seeing:

• The tech immediately phrases the problem as “you need a whole new system” without showing failing parts or explaining alternatives.
• The cost seems extreme or well above your expectations.
• You suspect the diagnosis is vague (“something wrong with the heat exchanger,” “AC is weak,” etc.) but no clear testing results or visuals.
• You’re being rushed into a decision or pressured into signing immediately.
• You’ve got an older system (10+ years) and you want to know whether investment in repair is justified.

What It Costs

• Our second opinion service is free when you have a written quote or diagnosis from another licensed HVAC provider.
• No hidden fees. No sales trickery.
