ABOUT US
Building Smarter Comfort for Mountain Living
At Stellar Air, we specialize in creating high-efficiency HVAC systems and healthy indoor environments designed for the unique challenges of the San Juan Mountain’s high-altitude climate. From precision heat pump installations to advanced building science consulting, we combine technical expertise with a commitment to honest service and lasting comfort. Our mission is simple: to help homeowners and builders make every watt count while keeping homes cozy, efficient, and built to thrive in the mountains.
WE LOVE WHAT WE DO
A Personal Approach to Better Home Comfort
At Stellar Air, every project is treated as unique—because every home and every homeowner is different. Founded by Fletcher Otwell, Stellar Air was built on the belief that comfort, efficiency, and indoor health can’t be achieved with one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, Fletcher approaches each home as a complete system, carefully considering how insulation, air movement, equipment, and daily living patterns all work together.
By combining building science principles with proven, real-world results, Stellar Air tailors each installation to the specific needs of the home and the people who live there. Fletcher takes the time to listen, evaluate, and design systems that perform reliably, feel comfortable, and make sense long-term. The result is thoughtful craftsmanship, honest guidance, and solutions that truly improve how a home functions—today and for years to come.

Fletcher is fantastic. I've worked with several other heat pump installers in the past. None of them even came close to the skill, knowledge and expertise that Fletcher possesses. Fletcher was meticulous in all the phases of installation. It was comforting to know that this sophisticated heat pump system was being installed correctly. And it all paid off. The system which consists of 4 outdoor heat pumps and 4 indoor heads works perfectly.
