Which Heating System Is Best for the Colorado Climate?

Choosing the right heating system for our local climate is a crucial decision that balances your home's unique characteristics with your budget. 

In our climate, three systems are most common:

• Furnaces. This is the traditional, powerful choice for Colorado. A natural gas furnace provides strong, consistent heat, performing reliably even during the coldest sub-zero stretches.
• Boilers. These systems heat water, which flows through radiators or in-floor tubing. They are known for providing an incredibly even, comfortable, radiant heat with no hot or cold spots. Boilers are very efficient, making them an excellent choice for our long heating season.
• Heat pumps. A heat pump is an all-in-one system that provides both heating and cooling by moving heat. Modern "cold-climate" heat pumps are very efficient and work well on the Front Range. 
• Dual-fuel systems. This popular option pairs an electric heat pump with a furnace. The pump handles the milder days, and the furnace takes over during extreme cold snaps.

We can help you navigate these options to find the solution that provides reliable, efficient warmth for your home, no matter how cold the the South Metro area winter gets.

What to Expect During Your Heating Installation

We want your installation day to be smooth and predictable. 

Here’s a brief overview of what the process involves:

• Preparation. Before we arrive, we ask that you clear a path and the area around your old heating system and thermostat.
• Arrival and site prep. Our team will arrive on time, introduce themselves, and review the installation plan with you. We will lay down floor coverings to protect your home. For safety reasons, we will need to shut off the power and gas temporarily.
• Removal and installation. We will safely disconnect and remove your old equipment. The new system will be installed, leveled, and professionally connected to your ductwork, electrical system, and gas lines.
• Testing and calibration. Once installed, we don't just turn it on. We run the system through a complete cycle, test all safety controls, and verify airflow to confirm it operates exactly as the manufacturer intended.
• Final walkthrough. After we clean up the work area, we will walk you through the new system, show you how to operate your thermostat, and answer any questions you have.

How Long Does a New Heating System Installation Take?

A straightforward replacement of a furnace, boiler, or heat pump can often be completed in 4 to 8 hours.

However, since every home and heating system is unique, several factors can influence the total timeline:

• Accessibility. A system located in an open utility room will require less time than a unit installed in a cramped crawl space or attic.
• System type and complexity. A simple, one-for-one replacement (furnace for furnace, etc.) is typically faster. Changing the heating technology altogether (such as switching from a boiler to a heat pump) or changing fuel sources (like moving from electric to natural gas) represents a more complex project that extends the duration.
• Distribution modifications. If your existing ductwork, piping, or ventilation needs modification, resizing, or repair to integrate with the new high-efficiency system correctly, this will add necessary time.
• Utility line upgrades. Should your home's gas lines, electrical wiring, or venting systems require upgrading to meet the demands and requirements of the new equipment, the installation process will be longer.
• Local permits and inspections. The time required for inspections mandated by the Town of Castle Rock must also be incorporated into the final project timeline.
