Top Questions About Heat Pump Installations

How do heat pumps work?

Heat pumps run off electricity and use a refrigerant cycle to transfer heat from different areas. During the summer, the heat pump absorbs heat from inside the home and transfers it to the air outside, just like a traditional air conditioner. In the winter, the cycle is reversed, and heat energy is extracted from the outside air (yes, even when it’s cold out, heat pumps can still extract heat). These cycles are all controlled by the pressure of the refrigerant in the system.

How much does heat pump installation cost?

Heat pump installation costs typically range from $5,000 to $25,000 or more, with averages often falling between $9,000 and $15,000 for standard air-source models, depending on your home’s size, local labor rates, efficiency, and if you need ductwork or electrical upgrades.

What financial incentives are available for me to install a heat pump?

There are several incentives available for heat pumps in Colorado. You can find the most up-to-date list on this page.

Do heat pumps work in cold climates?

Yes! In fact, the four countries in Europe with the highest number of heat pump installations per 1,000 households in 2022 were Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Estonia. These countries also have some of the coldest winters in Europe. That being said, you do need to install the correct heat pump and install it properly to enjoy comfortable temps inside when the outside temps drop below freezing.

What to do first? Install a heat pump or go solar?

It depends! (Ugh. We know that’s the most annoying answer.) But really, it depends on your current usage and how much your usage would increase when installing a heat pump. With many Colorado utilities you can now offset up to 200% of your last 12 months of usage. That means you are able to future proof your home by installing a larger solar system than you currently need – to some degree. We’ll take a look at your current usage and electrification goals to help you develop a “solar plus” plan that is right for your home.

We went through several rounds of interviews and quotes with 4 different solar companies and settled on Namaste. They offer a great product for the money, but most importantly the smooth installation process and the continuously great customer service is what sets them apart. We are confident they will be around Colorado for the long term future and can service our panels for as long as we own them.

If I had to describe our experience with Namaste Solar in one sentence, it would be this: thoughtful people doing excellent work. From our first conversation through installation and activation, the entire team went out of its way to ensure the project was done correctly and that every question and concern was addressed. We specifically wanted to work with a local company, and when we learned that Namaste Solar was Colorado-based, employee-owned, and highly regarded in our neighborhood, we felt compelled to reach out. What impressed me most was the professionalism of the process. Namaste managed every important step, from structural roof evaluation and permitting to inspections, rebates, and incentives. Their communication was consistently clear, friendly, and responsive. We also financed the project through Clean Energy Credit Union, and their service was equally impressive. The installation itself took about five days. The electrical team and installers were knowledgeable, efficient, and genuinely passionate about their work. More than once, members of the crew thanked us for choosing solar and for supporting a more sustainable future. Those interactions left a lasting impression. A special thank you to Anna and Jeremy, who guided us through the process from beginning to end and continued to be available after installation. Whether I had a simple question or wanted a deeper understanding of the system, someone was always willing to take the time to educate and explain. We chose solar not only for the long-term financial benefits, but also because we believe in being responsible stewards of the environment. Namaste Solar delivered exactly what they promised and made a complex project feel remarkably straightforward. We would gladly recommend Namaste Solar to anyone considering solar for their home.
