Modern cold-climate heat pumps have changed what is possible in Colorado. They move heat instead of burning fuel, cool your home in summer, and keep delivering useful heat on nights well below freezing. Besties HVAC Solutions designs and installs ducted, ductless and dual-fuel heat pump systems across the Denver metro, sized for real Colorado winters rather than brochure conditions.

Because incentives can be significant, we also help you understand what you may qualify for and prepare the paperwork, so the financial side is as smooth as the install.

Do heat pumps really work in Denver winters?

Yes, when the right equipment is chosen and sized for heating. Cold-climate models are designed to keep producing heat at 5 degrees F and below, and Denver's cold snaps, while sharp, are usually short. The key is sizing to the heating load, planning for defrost cycles, and deciding how backup heat will work for the handful of coldest nights each year.

Dual-fuel or all-electric?

Dual-fuel pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump handles cooling and most heating, and the furnace takes over below a balance point you choose. It is the most common choice for existing Denver homes with good ductwork and a furnace with years left in it.

All-electric systems use a cold-climate heat pump with an air handler and electric backup heat. They suit new construction, major remodels, homes leaving gas entirely, and owners in communities like Boulder and Louisville focused on electrification. All-electric projects may need an electrical panel upgrade, which we evaluate during the estimate.

Ductless and slim-ducted heat pumps are ideal for homes without ducts, additions and finished attics. See our ductless mini split page for those projects.

Rebates and incentives, explained carefully

Xcel Energy and the State of Colorado have offered meaningful incentives for qualifying heat pump installations, and some households may qualify for combined incentives of up to $12,250. Amounts depend on the equipment, the project, your household and current program rules, and some incentives are income-qualified. We confirm current eligibility before you commit, specify equipment that meets program requirements, and prepare the rebate paperwork for you. We will never promise an incentive amount we cannot document.

Will my energy bills go down?

Cooling costs typically drop with a high-efficiency heat pump. Heating costs depend on your electric and gas rates, your home's insulation and how the system is controlled. Dual-fuel systems let you switch to gas when it is the cheaper fuel, which is why many Denver homeowners start there. We will walk you through realistic expectations rather than headline savings.

Good to know

Heat pump installation questions, answered.

Do heat pumps work in Denver's cold winters?+
Cold-climate heat pumps are designed to keep heating at 5 degrees F and below. For the coldest nights, systems use either a gas furnace (dual-fuel) or electric backup heat, which we size and plan with you.
How much can I get in heat pump rebates in Colorado?+
Some households may qualify for combined Xcel Energy and Colorado incentives of up to $12,250. The amount depends on equipment, project scope, household eligibility and current program rules. We confirm what you may qualify for before you commit.
How much does a heat pump cost in Denver?+
Typical ranges are about $9,000 to $14,000 for a dual-fuel system added to an existing furnace and $14,000 to $20,000 or more for a ducted all-electric system, before any incentives. Your exact quote follows a free estimate.
Should I choose dual-fuel or all-electric?+
Dual-fuel is often the best fit for existing homes with a newer furnace and good ductwork. All-electric suits new builds, major remodels and owners leaving gas. We compare both for your home.
Will I need a new electrical panel?+
Not always. Dual-fuel systems rarely need one. All-electric systems with electric backup heat sometimes do, and we check your panel during the estimate.
Are heat pumps noisy?+
Modern variable-speed outdoor units are quiet, and we place them with neighbors, bedrooms and snow clearance in mind. During defrost you may briefly hear a change in sound, which is normal.
How long do heat pumps last?+
With regular maintenance, a quality heat pump typically lasts around 12 to 15 years or more. Comfort Club maintenance helps protect performance and warranty.
