Cold-Climate Air Source Heat Pumps in Aurora (Denver, CO)

Common Challenges

• Unsure if system works in freezing weather

  Older air source models lost capacity below 20°F, requiring expensive backup heating

• Outdoor unit noise disrupts neighbors

  Poor placement near property lines or bedroom windows creates noise complaints

• System short-cycles or runs constantly

  Oversized or undersized units waste energy and never reach comfortable temperatures

How We Help

• Heating capacity down to -15°F

  Cold-climate compressors maintain 70%+ capacity at -15°F vs 40% for standard models

• Single system for heating and cooling

  Refrigerant cycle reverses direction seasonally, eliminating separate furnace and AC units

• 30-50% lower energy costs

  Heat transfer efficiency beats resistance heating by moving heat instead of generating it

• Strategic outdoor unit placement

  Placement away from bedrooms and property lines reduces noise to 50-60 decibels

• Load calculation prevents sizing errors

  Manual J calculation matches system capacity to home's actual heating and cooling load
