Oxygen Delivers

What Oxygen Delivers does

Oxygen Delivers is a Telluride, Colorado-based oxygen equipment rental and delivery service founded in 2003 by Erich and Rachel Helbling, targeting visitors to the high-altitude San Juan Mountains who experience acute mountain sickness or require supplemental oxygen for recreational use. The company operates a fleet of medical-grade oxygen concentrators — primarily Philips Respironics EverFlo stationary units (continuous flow, 1–5 LPM, supporting 1–2 users via splitter) and Respironics EverGo portable units (pulse-dose, 8.5–10 lbs, ~4 hours battery, FAA-approved) — alongside portable oxygen cylinders (6–8 hour duration on a typical setting), small canned oxygen for retail sale, and accessories including nasal cannulas, masks, splitters, extension tubing, bubble humidifiers, and pulse oximeters. A higher-end Oxygen Bar event service, featuring a customized bar with mixologist, organic essential oils, and humidity solution, extends the rental model into weddings, corporate events, reunions, and private parties.

The business runs on a unit-pricing rental model: concentrators rent at $80/day, $325 for five days, or $350 per week, plus a $35 delivery fee. A reservation portal at rent.oxygendelivers.com and a high-touch phone line (970-728-7279) intake customers, with free delivery included for advance bookings across Telluride, Mountain Village, Ouray, and the broader San Juan region. Customer segments span visitors addressing altitude sickness (primary), event organizers seeking differentiated entertainment, outdoor recreationists (hiking, golf, summiting 14ers), and recreational oxygen users seeking hangover/energy/wellness benefits. Marketing is executed primarily through local SEO and organic content around altitude sickness and oxygen use.

The firm is private and founder-owned with 11–50 employees, single headquarters in Telluride, no disclosed institutional capital, no patents, no partnerships, and no AI/ML or software platform layer; technology differentiation is limited to branded third-party concentrator hardware selection (Respironics) and proprietary oxygen-bar aesthetic. Revenue concentration is highly fragmented across individual tourists and event clients, but is materially exposed to Telluride tourism seasonality and weather-driven visit volume.
