24 hour oxygen

What 24 hour oxygen does

24 Hour Oxygen Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned rental company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Breckenridge, Colorado. It rents and delivers medical-grade oxygen concentrators and portable oxygen tanks to visitors adjusting to high altitude in the Breckenridge and Blue River area of the Colorado high country. The underlying technology is conventional oxygen concentration: stationary units plug into a wall outlet and produce a continuous supply of nearly 100% pure oxygen without refilling, while a 7-pound portable tank provides approximately four hours of use as a backup or on-the-go option. Single-user and dual-user (Y-splitter) concentrator configurations are available.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer, asset-rental business model with no prescription requirement. Reservations are taken 24/7 via the company website or phone, with tiered nightly pricing on concentrators ($175-$400 per night depending on unit and duration) and a flat $150 fee on portable tanks for up to five nights. Delivery and pickup are handled in-house, with a stated goal of under one hour response time within Breckenridge during business hours. Marketing is limited to the company website, Facebook, Instagram, and educational content on altitude health.

Customer concentration is in individual leisure travelers from across the United States (cited testimonials from Dallas, Miami, and San Diego) seeking relief from altitude sickness during mountain vacations. The company differentiates itself through its status as the first and longest-operating local oxygen supplier in Breckenridge (over 30 years), no-prescription convenience, door-to-door service, and a scientific credibility partnership with Johns Hopkins University that tested supplemental oxygen efficacy at altitude. The business is small, geographically narrow (two adjacent mountain towns), and shows no evidence of institutional investment, scaling activity, or technology platform ambitions.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• Boost Oxygen: Boost Oxygen sells portable canned 95% pure oxygen for athletic recovery, travel, and altitude use through retail and D2C channels. It is comparable because it serves the same consumer need—on-demand supplemental oxygen for active, travel-oriented users—but its retail/canned model competes with 24 Hour Oxygen's rental-concentrator approach.
• OxyGo: OxyGo (formerly OxyGo LLC) markets portable oxygen concentrators for active oxygen users including travelers and altitude visitors. It is comparable as a portable oxygen technology provider serving the same altitude and active-lifestyle consumer base, though it sells devices rather than renting them locally.
• Oxygen Plus: Oxygen Plus markets recreational and 'on-demand' portable oxygen products aimed at athletes, travelers, and altitude users in retail and online channels. Comparable as an emerging consumer oxygen brand targeting the same altitude and performance-oriented traveler segment as 24 Hour Oxygen.

Direct peers

• Altitude Control Technology: Altitude Control Technology provides supplemental oxygen services for mountain visitors, including oxygen bar rentals and event oxygen in Colorado and other resort regions. It is a direct peer because it operates an oxygen rental service aimed at altitude-affected travelers using a similar D2C, delivery-based model.

Broad incumbents

• Apria Healthcare: Apria Healthcare is a large national durable medical equipment provider offering home oxygen therapy, CPAP, and respiratory equipment rentals through prescriptions and insurance. It is comparable as a broad incumbent in home oxygen DME, though its medically prescribed model differs sharply from 24 Hour Oxygen's no-prescription tourism rental.
• Lincare Holdings: Lincare is a leading US provider of home oxygen therapy, nebulizers, sleep therapy and respiratory DME services operating a national branch network. Comparable as a broad incumbent respiratory DME player, though its clinical, insurance-driven model contrasts with 24 Hour Oxygen's cash-pay tourism rental.
• Inogen: Inogen is a publicly traded manufacturer of portable oxygen concentrators used for ambulatory oxygen therapy, including travel and active lifestyles. Comparable as a broader oxygen concentrator brand whose portable products overlap with 24 Hour Oxygen's altitude-traveler customer use case.

Others

• Vail Resorts: Vail Resorts operates Breckenridge and other major Colorado ski resorts and is a key driver of the tourism flow that creates 24 Hour Oxygen's demand. It is a channel partner/ecosystem comparable because lodging packages, ski school enrollment, and on-mountain guest services all funnel high-value oxygen-rental customers into the local market.
