Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning Services in the Gunnison Valley

Crested Butte Mechanical provides residential and commercial plumbing, heating, commercial refrigeration, and air conditioning services throughout Gunnison County, Colorado. Living and working at nearly 9,000 feet brings challenges most contractors never face — extreme cold snaps, deep snow, hard water, and heating systems that run for most of the year. Every part of our trade is calibrated to that reality, from high-altitude combustion adjustment to freeze protection for water lines in unheated crawlspaces.

Plumbing Done for Mountain Conditions

Our plumbing work covers repairs, remodels, and replacements of fixtures, water heaters, and supply and drain lines. In this climate, a plumbing system has to survive deep freezes and long heating seasons, so we pay close attention to insulation, heat-tape, and the small details that prevent burst pipes in January. Whether a shower valve has failed in a historic cabin or a tankless water heater needs service after a long winter, we diagnose the real cause before we replace anything. The goal is always the same: a repair that holds up through the next season, not just through the weekend.

Heating and Boiler Expertise

Heating is the heart of what we do. Boilers, radiant in-floor systems, and hydronic heat are the standard here, and they demand a specialist. We service and repair all major boiler brands, troubleshoot controls and circulators, perform annual maintenance and safety inspections, and replace end-of-life equipment with properly sized, high-efficiency systems. An annual service visit catches small problems — a weakening circulator pump, a dirty heat exchanger, a control that is drifting out of spec — before they turn into a no-heat call on the coldest night of the year.

Commercial Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

Local restaurants, lodges, and shops depend on working refrigeration, and a failed walk-in cooler means lost product and lost revenue. We install, service, and repair commercial refrigeration equipment and respond quickly when cooling goes down. In summer, we also keep homes and businesses comfortable with air conditioning service, repair, and mini-split installation — systems sized and commissioned correctly for high-altitude performance.

24-Hour Emergency Response

Water and heat emergencies do not keep business hours, and neither do we. Burst pipes, boiler shutdowns, and gas-safety concerns are handled around the clock — call anytime at (970) 975-0942 and a local technician will pick up. As a small, locally owned company, the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up at your door, and every job is finished the way we would want it done in our own home: done right, the first time.
