Heat pumps
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling in one system, built to handle Colorado's swings in weather.
A heat pump moves warm air in during winter and pulls it out during summer, giving you year-round comfort from one system. For Denver area homes, that means one piece of equipment doing the work of a furnace and an air conditioner.
Heat pumps rely on refrigerant and a compressor to transfer heat rather than generate it, which is why they run efficiently even on moderate winter days. We look at your home's insulation, ductwork, and existing airflow before recommending a unit, since a heat pump's performance depends on more than just its SEER rating. For homes in Denver and Lakewood dealing with cold snaps, we also talk through backup heat options so you're covered when temperatures drop hard.
Installation includes setting the outdoor unit, connecting indoor components, and checking that your ductwork can handle the airflow a heat pump requires. We program the thermostat for heat pump operation, since it works differently than a standard furnace and AC setup, and test the system in both heating and cooling modes before finishing the job. Homeowners in Aurora and Littleton often choose heat pumps when they want to simplify their equipment and lower monthly energy use.
