Brighton, CO — local facts

Heat Pump Installation 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.

Your rebates

Brighton homes can stack 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.

Cold performance

Cold-climate models hold most of their capacity down to 5°F. With an average January low of 16.1°F in Brighton, we size to the heating load and usually keep the existing gas furnace as backup (dual fuel) for the coldest hours.

Electric service

United Power. Heat pump operating cost depends on that rate, so we run the numbers on your actual utility before you commit.
