Heat and cool your home
for less. Forever.
Heat pumps are 3× more efficient than gas furnaces. Combined with solar, they can heat and cool your home for near-zero operating cost.
Best combination of cold-weather performance, rebate eligibility, and installer availability in Colorado.
One system.
Heating and cooling.
A heat pump moves heat rather than generating it — making it 2–4× more efficient than a gas furnace or electric resistance heater. In summer it runs in reverse, acting as an air conditioner. One system replaces both your furnace and your AC.
Even at -13°F, outdoor air contains heat energy. The heat pump extracts it and moves it inside — no combustion required.
A refrigerant cycle amplifies the extracted heat, delivering 2–4 units of heat energy for every 1 unit of electricity consumed.
Warm air circulates through your existing ducts or via wall-mounted mini-split heads — depending on your system type.
Pair with rooftop or balcony solar and your heat pump runs on clean electricity you generate yourself — near-zero operating cost year-round.
Three types of heat pumps.
Which fits your home?
Replaces your existing furnace and uses your current ductwork. Best for homes that already have central HVAC. Most cost-effective whole-home solution.
Wall-mounted indoor units connected to an outdoor compressor. No ductwork needed. Can heat and cool individual rooms or zones. Popular in apartments and older homes.
Uses stable underground temperatures for superior efficiency — but requires significant excavation. Best for new construction or major renovations with available land.
Sol Country recommends air source heat pumps for most Colorado homeowners — cold-climate models operate efficiently down to -13°F, covering virtually all Colorado winter conditions.
Colorado winters are cold.
Your heat pump needs to match.
Standard heat pumps lose efficiency below 25°F. Cold-climate heat pumps — also called hyper heat or H2i models — maintain full heating capacity down to -13°F. In Colorado, always specify a cold-climate rated model.
- Mitsubishi Hyper Heat (H2i)
- Bosch IDS Premium
- Fujitsu Halcyon XLTH
- Daikin Fit
- LG Art Cool / LGRED°
- Rated heating capacity at -13°F
- HSPF2 rating (look for 8.5+)
- ENERGY STAR certified
- HEAR rebate eligibility confirmed
- Compatible with your electrical panel
Stack every incentive.
Heat pumps qualify for all of them.
IRA High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act. Income-qualified households can receive up to $8,000 for a heat pump, $1,750 for a heat pump water heater, and $4,000 for a panel upgrade — all as upfront rebates, not tax credits.
30% of installed cost, up to $2,000 per year for heat pumps. Stackable with HEAR rebates for income-qualifying households.
Xcel Energy offers rebates of $300–1,200 for qualifying heat pump installations in Colorado. Stackable with federal programs. Check xcelenergy.com for current availability.
