Westminster, CO — local facts

Furnace Replacement in Westminster: what’s different here

Westminster’s 1970s–80s housing peak means many homes are on original or second-generation furnaces and AC.

Altitude derate

Gas appliances are derated roughly 4% per 1,000 feet above 2,000 feet (the fuel gas code rule), so at 5,325 feet a furnace needs the correct orifices and manifold pressure to deliver its rating. We set it up for Westminster, 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

Furnaces, ACs, heat pumps, water heaters and evaporative coolers all need a permit, filed paperless through eTRAKiT by a city-registered contractor.

Hytek pricing

How much does furnace replacement cost in Westminster?

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 Westminster?

Repairs generally do not. Replacing or installing a furnace, AC, heat pump or water heater does. Permits for Westminster addresses go through City of Westminster Building Division. Furnaces, ACs, heat pumps, water heaters and evaporative coolers all need a permit, filed paperless through eTRAKiT by a city-registered contractor. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection.

What HVAC rebates are available in Westminster in 2026?

For heat pumps: either Xcel’s or United Power’s heat pump rebate, depending on which utility serves the address; 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. Westminster offers a free Home Energy Squad Plus visit (code WESTY2026) and a city-partnered Switch Together heat pump group buy with registration open until Nov. 18, 2026.

How long do furnaces last in Westminster?

Typically 15–20 years here. With a median home built in 1987, many Westminster 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 Westminster?

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