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.

Namaste Solar’s Most Recent Google Reviews

Kudos to Namaste Solar for making it possible for homeowners on a budget to enjoy all the many benefits of residential solar power now that federal rebates have been axed. From my first call through installation and final payment Namaste staff were calm, clear, and kind, not surprising given their company name. Based on our previous experience purchasing a solar system in another state I vetted them carefully. Their being an employee-owned, Certified B corporation was a clear sign I could trust them. Yet they met or exceeded all my expectations at every stage of the process, keeping me in the loop, never talking down to me, allowing me to ask "dumb" questions, and handling all the technical and permitting issues smoothly. (A special shoutout goes to the installation crew led by Roger, who were prompt, efficient, respectful of our time and property, and just fun to talk to.) Buying a solar power system is a major investment that definitely improves your resale value considerably. If you take the plunge this year do it with Namaste Solar. Miss the "shady" solar companies out there who disappear after you make a deposit. Take it from two very satisfied Louisville customers: Namaste Solar walks their talk.

Namaste Solar has been wonderful with whom to work. William kept us abreast of the timeline when work would begin and end. The team of Ken, Sylvia, Alexandria, Eric and Ed kept us well informed as to their progress as well as what to expect. They were all so friendly, courteous, prompt, and hard working. We quickly developed a relationship of trust.

I would give more stars if I could. I contacted Namaste in June, and they put me on a wait list because so many people were trying to get in before the tax credits went away. The system was installed in December. They took one day off due to high winds making it not safe to be on the roof, but they made it up on a Friday (when they normally don't install). They worked very hard to get everything installed before 12/31, and when my first payment had a problem (I was trying to do ACH with an account I only use rarely) they called to make sure I got a new payment in so I would qualify. The battery and the solar are working well, I love having the app so I can see the energy generation and storage. I also have gotten a few storm warnings, in which case the battery remains at 100% to provide power in an outage if necessary, instead of using it for normal household use. Everyone was very professional and helpful, and it's a local company, which is also very nice. I had gotten a referral from a friend who was also very happy with them.
