Brighton, CO — local facts

Furnace Replacement in Brighton: what’s different here

Brighton is home to United Power’s headquarters, and most homes here buy electricity from the co-op rather than Xcel, so heat pump rebates come from United Power’s program.

Altitude derate

Gas appliances are derated roughly 4% per 1,000 feet above 2,000 feet (the fuel gas code rule), so at 4,987 feet a furnace needs the correct orifices and manifold pressure to deliver its rating. We set it up for Brighton, not sea level.

Rebates in 2026

Xcel’s gas furnace rebates ended Jan. 1, 2026, and the federal 25C credit ended for anything installed after Dec. 31, 2025. If rebates matter, a cold-climate heat pump is where the money is.

Permit

HVAC work requires a City of Brighton Class M Mechanical Contractor license, and permits and licensing run through OpenGov.

Hytek pricing

Furnace Replacement: $3,500 – $8,500 installed. Flat-rate, approved before work starts. Free estimates on replacements.

Elevation & climate

4,987 ft. Avg January low 16.1°F, avg July high 90°F, about 34.5 in of snow a year.

Homes

Furnace Replacement in Brighton: common questions

How much does furnace replacement cost in Brighton?

Our published range is $3,500 – $8,500 installed. Every Hytek job is quoted flat-rate and approved before work begins, so the price you agree to is the price you pay. Replacements get free in-home estimates; see the full HVAC cost guide for the other services.

Do I need a permit for HVAC work in Brighton?

Repairs generally do not. Replacing or installing a furnace, AC, heat pump or water heater does. Permits for Brighton addresses go through City of Brighton Building Division. HVAC work requires a City of Brighton Class M Mechanical Contractor license, and permits and licensing run through OpenGov. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection.

What HVAC rebates are available in Brighton in 2026?

For heat pumps: United Power’s 2026 heat pump rebate ($500–$1,000 ducted, $250–$500 mini-split); 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. Xcel’s gas furnace rebates ended Jan. 1, 2026, and the federal 25C credit does not apply to 2026 installs.

How long do furnaces last in Brighton?

Typically 15–20 years here. With a median home built in 1999, many Brighton houses are on their second or third furnace. Age alone is not a reason to replace; a cracked heat exchanger, repeated repairs over about $1,000, or a unit under 80% AFUE is.

Who provides gas and electricity in Brighton?

Electric: United Power. Gas: Xcel Energy. That matters because rebates, operating costs and who you call about a gas leak all depend on the utility.
