Many Broomfield, CO homeowners replacing an aging furnace and AC are choosing a single heat pump instead, and the reason is efficiency. A heat pump does not burn fuel or heat a resistance coil; it moves heat. In cooling mode it carries heat out of the house, and in heating mode a reversing valve sends the refrigerant the other way so the compressor gathers heat from outdoor air and releases it indoors. That lets it deliver two to three times more heat than the electricity it consumes. Modern cold-climate equipment with inverter-driven compressors keeps working well below freezing, which the older units behind the technology's old reputation simply could not do.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for Heat Pump Installation
The sooner you notice these red flags, the easier and cheaper the fix. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- Your utility company is offering incentives for heat pumps
- You are tired of temperature swings and want steady, even comfort
- You are moving toward an all-electric home or adding solar panels
- You would like a single system for heating and cooling with one maintenance plan
- An aging AC and furnace you would rather replace with a single system
- High heating bills from electric baseboard, propane, or oil
- An older system that only survives on refrigerant top-offs and major repairs
- Rooms run hot in summer and cold in winter on the existing equipment
