Lakewood, CO — local facts

Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Lakewood: what’s different here

Lakewood’s own design basis for HVAC work is a 1°F winter design temperature (Climate Zone 5), and many of its post-war homes still run on original-era ductwork.

Where they fit in Lakewood

Roughly 56% of Lakewood homes were built before 1980, and many of these homes have boilers, baseboard or wall furnaces and no ductwork, so ductless is often the only practical way to add AC.

Rebates

A cold-climate ductless heat pump in Lakewood can qualify for Xcel Energy’s 2026 heat pump rebates (the largest bonus goes to homes replacing gas heat); the $1,500 Power Ahead Colorado rebate (pre-approval required); Colorado’s $1,000 air-source heat pump credit, at least a third of which the installer must pass to you as a line-item discount.

Winter operation

Rated cold-climate units keep heating well below 21.1°F, Lakewood’s average January low. We mount outdoor heads on brackets or stands above the snow line.
