Heat Pump Installation & Service in Denver CO

Efficient Year-Round Heating and Cooling Solutions for Denver Homes

Looking for one system that handles both heating and cooling efficiently? Heat pumps offer Denver homeowners the ultimate in year-round comfort and energy savings. These innovative systems transfer heat rather than generating it, delivering exceptional efficiency that can cut your energy bills by up to 50% compared to traditional furnaces and air conditioners.

At MoJo Your Homes, we've been installing and servicing heat pumps throughout the Denver Metro Area for over 16 years. Our certified technicians understand Colorado's unique climate demands and help homeowners select, install, and maintain heat pump systems that perform reliably in both summer heat and winter cold.

What Is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is an all-in-one HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling by transferring heat between your home and the outdoors. In summer, it works like an air conditioner, removing heat from inside and moving it outside. In winter, it reverses the process, extracting heat from outdoor air (even in cold weather) and bringing it inside.

Unlike furnaces that burn fuel to create heat, heat pumps simply move existing heat from one place to another. This makes them incredibly efficient—delivering up to 3 times more energy than they consume.

How Heat Pumps Work:

  • Cooling Mode: Extracts heat from indoor air and releases it outside, just like an AC

  • Heating Mode: Extracts heat from outdoor air and transfers it inside, even in freezing temperatures

  • Reversing Valve: Allows the system to switch between heating and cooling modes

  • Refrigerant Cycle: Transfers heat efficiently without combustion

Benefits of Heat Pumps for Denver Homes

Exceptional Energy Efficiency

Heat pumps use electricity to move heat, not create it, making them 2-3 times more efficient than traditional heating systems. Many modern units achieve SEER ratings of 18-20+ for cooling and HSPF ratings of 9-13 for heating, translating to significant utility savings year-round.

All-in-One Heating and Cooling

One system handles both summer cooling and winter heating, eliminating the need for separate furnace and AC units. This simplifies maintenance, reduces equipment costs, and saves installation space.

Lower Operating Costs

Denver homeowners typically save 30-50% on heating and cooling costs compared to traditional systems. The exact savings depend on your home's insulation, system efficiency, and usage patterns.

Environmentally Friendly

Heat pumps produce no on-site emissions and use electricity that can come from renewable sources. They're one of the greenest HVAC solutions available, reducing your carbon footprint significantly.

Consistent, Even Comfort

Heat pumps deliver steady, gentle heating without the temperature swings common with furnaces. Many models offer variable-speed operation for precise temperature control.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Heat pumps circulate and filter air continuously, removing dust, pollen, and allergens more effectively than systems that cycle on and off frequently.

Quiet Operation

Modern heat pumps operate quietly both indoors and outdoors, with indoor sound levels comparable to a refrigerator.

Rebates and Tax Credits

Federal tax credits, state rebates, and utility incentives can significantly reduce heat pump installation costs. We help you navigate available programs to maximize savings.

Do Heat Pumps Work in Denver's Cold Winters?

Absolutely! Modern cold-climate heat pumps are specifically engineered to handle freezing temperatures. Today's advanced systems maintain heating capacity even when outdoor temperatures drop to -15°F or lower.

Key technologies that make this possible:

  • Variable-Speed Compressors: Adjust output to match demand efficiently in any weather

  • Enhanced Vapor Injection: Boosts heating capacity in extreme cold

  • Advanced Refrigerants: Perform better at low temperatures

  • Optimized Defrost Cycles: Prevent ice buildup without sacrificing efficiency

We recommend and install only cold-climate rated heat pumps proven to perform reliably in Colorado's variable winter conditions.

Types of Heat Pump Systems

Air-Source Heat Pumps

The most common type, transferring heat between your home and outdoor air. Available in ducted (central) and ductless (mini-split) configurations. Ideal for most Denver homes with straightforward installation and excellent efficiency.

Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps

Perfect for homes without ductwork, additions, or zone-specific comfort needs. Wall-mounted indoor units connect to outdoor compressors, offering flexible installation and independent temperature control for different areas.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

The most efficient option, transferring heat between your home and the ground. Higher installation costs but unmatched efficiency and longevity. Best for new construction or major renovations.

Dual-Fuel Systems

Combines a heat pump with a gas furnace backup for optimal efficiency and comfort. The system automatically switches to the most economical heating source based on outdoor temperature and energy costs.
