South Platte River
The river bounds the neighborhood to the east and sets the flood-zone question for every basement job. It also moderates summer afternoons slightly.
HVAC in Overland starts with the flood zone. This south-central Denver neighborhood between South Broadway and the South Platte River has parts in FEMA Zone AE — high flood risk — and parts at low risk, and the difference decides where a furnace and water heater can sit. Lion Tech Home Services plans basement mechanicals, condenser elevation and sump backup around that per-address answer before recommending equipment.

Parts of the neighborhood sit in FEMA Zone AE, so furnace and condenser placement, elevation and sump backup lead the list, ahead of the usual boiler, ductless, furnace and AC work for a housing stock that runs from 1890s Victorians to 2020s infill.
Flood zone comes first in Overland. Here is how we handle the three situations that come up most.
Parts of Overland are in FEMA Zone AE and parts are low-risk, and the zone is checked per address. A furnace and water heater sitting on a basement floor in a Zone AE home is a flood loss waiting for the next high-water event.
How we help: We check the zone for the address, then plan elevation or flood-proofing and a sump with battery backup before siting new basement mechanicals.
The 1890s Victorians carry boiler legacies, and many were never ducted. Radiators still serve some homes well; others were converted to forced air with tight chases and cold rooms.
How we help: We test the boiler and the radiation it serves before recommending anything, and we use ductless for cooling where the house was never built to carry ducts.
The river corridor is low-lying relative to the surrounding blocks, and river proximity moderates summer afternoons slightly. Outdoor units near the corridor need elevation and drainage thought, not just a level pad.
How we help: We set condensers with flood elevation and drainage in mind, and we keep the pad and clearances above the water line the zone suggests.
Furnace runs but blows cold air
AC runs but the house stays warm
Frozen mini-split indoor coil
Boiler leaking water on the floor
Rising energy bills with no change in use
Overland runs between South Broadway and the South Platte River. We use the river, the golf course and the Evans station as our reference points for routing.

Call (720) 806-7634 →Furnace repair and installation planned around flood-plain elevation, boiler repair for the 1890s Victorians, ductless mini-splits for homes with no ducts, and AC installation with the condenser elevated. (720) 806-7634 is the number. Describe the unit and what it is doing.
Any time of day or night. A furnace that quits in an Overland home in a January cold snap, or water in a basement where the furnace sits. Lion Tech Home Services is staffed 24 hours a day in Overland to take the call: (720) 806-7634.
In an Overland home, watch for water near the furnace or water heater after heavy rain or snowmelt, a furnace short cycling, radiators that heat unevenly in the 1890s Victorians, or an outdoor unit sitting in standing water. Water near basement mechanicals is the sign to call first.
Yes. The work here runs from 1890s Victorians through 1920s bungalows and mid-century homes to 2020s infill, between South Broadway and the South Platte River. The oldest homes carry boiler history, the bungalows carry retrofitted forced air, and the infill carries modern systems.
Parts of Overland are in FEMA Zone AE, and other parts are low-risk, so it is checked per address rather than assumed for the whole neighborhood. In a Zone AE home it changes the plan directly: the furnace and water heater are elevated or relocated out of the flood-prone basement, the condenser is elevated, and a sump with battery backup is part of the conversation before a new furnace is sited low.
