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.

Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Brighton: common questions
How much does water heater repair & replacement cost in Brighton?
Our published range is $900 – $2,800 installed (replacement). 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.
How long should a water heater last in Brighton?
About 8–12 years for a tank. Hard Front Range water builds sediment that shortens that, and flushing the tank yearly helps. Rust-colored water, rumbling and moisture at the base mean it is time to replace.
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.
