Heat Pump Installation in Wheat Ridge: what’s different here

Wheat Ridge has the oldest housing stock in the west metro (median built 1965): lots of small post-war ranches with undersized or original ductwork.

Your rebates

Wheat Ridge homes can stack 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.
