Heat Pumps

A heat pump is one of the most efficient ways to condition a home, because it moves heat rather than burning fuel to create it. In summer it works like an air conditioner, and in the cooler shoulder seasons it runs in reverse to heat the home — all from a single, all-electric system. For the right mountain home, that efficiency and flexibility can make a heat pump a smart centerpiece or a strong complement to what you already have.

In our climate, heat pumps often work best as part of a hybrid or dual-fuel setup. The heat pump handles cooling and efficient heating through much of the year, and a boiler or furnace takes over on the coldest nights when a mountain winter demands more. We design the changeover so the home always leans on whichever system is most efficient at the moment.

Ducted heat pumps tie into a home's existing duct system, while ductless mini-splits are a clean way to add efficient heating and cooling to additions, lower levels, bonus rooms or spaces that were never comfortable. We help you choose the approach that fits the home and the way you use it.

As with any mountain install, sizing and setup for altitude are what separate a system that performs from one that disappoints. We run the load calculations, size the equipment to the home, and commission the controls so the heat pump and any backup heat work together seamlessly.
