Aurora, CO — local facts

Heat Pump Repair in Aurora: what’s different here

Aurora hosts one of two areas in Xcel’s 2026 $10M Neighborhood Residential Retrofit pilot, where homes inside the designated zone can get up to $20,000 toward heat pumps and related upgrades.

Defrost season

From November to March, Aurora nights average around 18.7°F. Outdoor coils ice up and the defrost cycle has to clear them; a failed defrost sensor or board is the most common winter call we get on heat pumps.

Snow and ice

Aurora averages 47 inches of snow a year. Units need to sit above the snow line with clear drainage, or meltwater refreezes into the fan and coil. We check the pad height and clearance on every call.

Year-round wear

A heat pump logs roughly twice the run hours of a single-season system. Capacitors, contactors and the outdoor fan motor get the hardest use.

Heat Pump Repair in Aurora: common questions

How much does heat pump repair cost in Aurora?

Our published range is $150 – $1,200+. 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 Aurora?

Repairs generally do not. Replacing or installing a furnace, AC, heat pump or water heater does. Permits for Aurora addresses go through City of Aurora Building Division (Permit Center). Permits and contractor licenses run through the Aurora4Biz portal, and an Aurora contractor license is required to alter or repair any structure. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection.

What HVAC rebates are available in Aurora in 2026?

For heat pumps: either Xcel’s heat pump rebate or CORE’s thermostat credits, 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. Xcel’s gas furnace rebates ended Jan. 1, 2026, and the federal 25C credit does not apply to 2026 installs.

Why is my heat pump blowing cold air in Aurora?

Usually one of three things: it is in a defrost cycle (normal, a few minutes), the reversing valve or its solenoid has failed, or it is low on refrigerant. If cold air lasts more than 10–15 minutes, or the backup heat is running constantly, call us.

Who provides gas and electricity in Aurora?

Electric: Xcel Energy for most homes; CORE Electric on parts of the southeast side. Gas: Xcel Energy. That matters because rebates, operating costs and who you call about a gas leak all depend on the utility.
