Berthoud isn’t just one of the towns on our service map. It’s where our shop is, where our trucks start every morning and where many of our customers are also our neighbors. Since 1999, IMS Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical has kept homes across Northern Colorado comfortable, and our headquarters on Longs Peak Road puts us right in the middle of the community we’re proud to call home.
A Small Town With Its Own Character
Berthoud has grown a lot in the last two decades, but it still feels like the “Garden Spot of Colorado.” Mountain Avenue and Old Town still anchor downtown, Fickel Park hosts summer gatherings and Carter Lake sits just to the west for a weekend on the water. Golfers know TPC Colorado at Heron Lakes, and the Little Thompson River winds along the edge of town.
That mix of old and new is part of what makes Berthoud special. It’s also why no two homes here need exactly the same heating, cooling or plumbing care.
Every Berthoud Neighborhood Has Its Own Needs
After years of working in Berthoud homes, we’ve learned that each part of town comes with its own patterns:
- Old Town and the Mountain Avenue area: Older homes often have aging furnaces, original ductwork and plumbing that has been updated in pieces over the decades. Some never had central air, and a ductless system can be the simplest way to add it.
- Heron Lakes, Heron Pointe and Prairie Star: Newer two-story homes tend to have high-efficiency furnaces, larger air conditioners and upstairs rooms that can run warm in July.
- Berthoud Heights West and Berthoud Commons: Established neighborhoods where many systems are reaching the age when repair-or-replace decisions come up.
- Rural homes and acreage along Highways 56, 60 and 287: Longer water lines, wind and dust exposure and, on some properties, propane heat or private wells.
What Berthoud Weather Asks of Your Home
Living at about 5,000 feet along the Front Range means big swings. A Chinook can bring 60-degree days in January, followed by a night below zero. Summer brings hot afternoons, occasional hailstorms and early-season cottonwood fluff that clogs outdoor AC units. Late spring snowstorms melt fast and test basements and sump pumps.
Those conditions are hard on furnaces, air conditioners and pipes alike, which is why we put so much weight on seasonal maintenance and fast response when something fails.
How We Serve Our Berthoud Neighbors
From our shop at 5213 Longs Peak Rd A, our team provides:
- Heating: furnace and heat pump repair, replacement and tune-ups, including help choosing a low-NOx furnace under Colorado’s new standards
- Cooling: air conditioner repair, installation and maintenance, plus ductless mini-splits for older homes
- Plumbing: repairs, installations, maintenance and 24/7 emergency service, including trenchless pipe and sewer repair in Berthoud

And because our phones are answered 24/7, a no-heat call on a January night or a burst pipe on a holiday weekend reaches a real person.
