Brighton, CO — local facts

Heat Pump Repair 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.

Defrost season

From November to March, Brighton nights average around 16.1°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

Brighton averages 34.5 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 Brighton: common questions

How much does heat pump repair cost in Brighton?

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 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.

Why is my heat pump blowing cold air in Brighton?

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 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.
