Heat Pump Installation
That Works in Colorado
Year-round comfort with one efficient system. Modern cold-climate heat pumps provide reliable heating at -20°F and excellent cooling all summer—perfect for Colorado's climate.
One System, Year-Round Comfort—Finally Proven in Colorado
For years, heat pumps had a reputation for struggling in Colorado winters. That's changed. Modern cold-climate heat pumps deliver reliable heating down to -20°F, efficient cooling in summer, and dramatically lower energy bills compared to traditional furnaces and AC systems.
Peak Comfort specializes in properly sized, professionally installed heat pump systems for Colorado homes. We focus on cold-climate models designed for our altitude, temperature swings, and demanding winters—not systems engineered for milder climates. Whether you're replacing an aging furnace and AC or building new, we'll show you how heat pumps perform in real Colorado conditions.
Utility Rebates Available
Xcel Energy and other Colorado utilities offer rebates up to $2,500+ for qualifying heat pump installations. Federal tax credits may also apply. We handle the paperwork.

Why Heat Pumps Work Exceptionally Well in Colorado
Cold-Climate Technology
Modern cold-climate heat pumps maintain 100% heating capacity at 5°F and still provide heat at -20°F—perfect for Colorado winters.
Moderate Climate Advantage
Colorado's milder winters (compared to the Midwest) mean heat pumps run efficiently most of the heating season, maximizing savings.
Year-Round Efficiency
One system handles heating and cooling efficiently, eliminating the need to maintain two separate systems and reducing overall costs.
Heat Pump Questions from Colorado Homeowners
Do heat pumps really work in Colorado winters?
Yes—modern cold-climate heat pumps work excellently in Colorado. Today's systems maintain full heating capacity down to 5°F and continue providing heat at -20°F. Since most Colorado winter days are above 20°F, heat pumps operate efficiently throughout the heating season. We only recommend cold-climate rated models specifically tested for our conditions, not systems designed for mild climates.
How much can I save switching to a heat pump?
Most Colorado homeowners see 40-70% lower heating costs compared to electric resistance heat, and 20-50% savings vs. natural gas (depending on fuel prices). You'll also save on cooling costs in summer. Add in utility rebates ($1,000-$2,500+) and federal tax credits, and payback periods are typically 5-8 years. We'll calculate specific savings for your home based on your current system and usage.
What's the difference between a heat pump and regular AC?
An air conditioner only cools. A heat pump provides both heating and cooling—it's essentially an AC that can reverse its operation. In summer, it cools your home just like AC. In winter, it extracts heat from outside air (yes, even cold air contains heat) and moves it indoors. One system, year-round comfort, with dramatically better efficiency than separate heating and cooling equipment.
Should I get a backup furnace with my heat pump?
It depends on your priorities and budget. Cold-climate heat pumps work independently down to -20°F, covering 99% of Colorado winter hours without backup. However, hybrid systems (heat pump + gas furnace backup) offer the absolute lowest operating costs by automatically switching to the most economical fuel source. They also provide redundancy—if one system has issues, you're not without heat. We'll explain costs and benefits for both approaches.
How much does heat pump installation cost?
Central heat pump systems typically range from $7,000-$15,000 depending on system size, features (single-stage vs. variable-speed), ductwork condition, and whether you need a backup heat source. Ductless mini-splits start around $4,000 for single-zone systems. After utility rebates ($1,000-$2,500+) and federal tax credits (30% of project cost), net costs are significantly lower. We provide detailed written estimates with all rebate information included.
