Services in Brighton

Everything your Brighton home needs

About half of Brighton homes (49%) were built after 2000, around an older core. 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.

$150 – $900+

AC Repair

When the AC quits in Brighton, the July average high is 90°F and the upstairs bedrooms go first. We diagnose the actual failure, quote a flat price before any work, and carry the common parts on the truck.

$150 – $1,200+

Furnace Repair

Brighton plans around an average January low of 16.1°F. When the furnace stops, we find the failed part, give you a flat price before we start, and fix most problems on the first visit.

$3,800 – $10,000 installed

AC Installation

A new AC in Brighton should be sized to your house at 4,987 feet, not copied from the old unit’s label. We run a load calculation, quote flat-rate, pull the City of Brighton Building Division permit and handle the paperwork.

$3,500 – $8,500 installed

Furnace Replacement

Replacing a furnace in Brighton means sizing for an average January low of 16.1°F, venting correctly at 4,987 feet, and pulling the right permit. We quote flat-rate, and the price we quote is the price you pay.

$6,000 – $15,000 before rebates

Heat Pump Installation

Cold-climate heat pumps work in Brighton, including on an average January low of 16.1°F nights, when they are sized and set up correctly. We design the system, pair it with backup heat where it makes sense, and line up every rebate your address qualifies for.

$150 – $1,200+

Heat Pump Repair

Heat pumps in Brighton run all year, heating in winter and cooling in summer, so they wear faster than a furnace or AC alone. We diagnose defrost, reversing valve, refrigerant and control faults and quote the fix before we start.

$900 – $2,800 installed (replacement)

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

No hot water in Brighton? We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters, gas and electric, and handle the City of Brighton Building Division permit when a replacement needs one.

Quoted per zone

Ductless Mini-Split Installation

Ductless mini-splits heat and cool rooms the central system never reached, such as additions, basements, garages and bonus rooms over the garage. We design by zone and install cold-climate models rated for Colorado winters.

Furnace tune-up $100 – $149; AC tune-up $100 – $129

HVAC Maintenance & Tune-Ups

Two visits a year keep a Brighton system ready for a 90°F July and an average January low of 16.1°F. Our tune-ups include combustion and CO testing, electrical checks, coil cleaning and an honest report on what is actually wearing out.

Flat-rate, quoted before work
