Heat pump rebates in Broomfield County
Broomfield County has 32,261 homes, and 30,921 are occupied. Census figures show a median build year of 2001, later than Colorado's 1987. Heat pump rebates here apply to ducted heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, and ductless mini-splits when each program's rule is met.
Gas is the current heat source in 70.7% of county homes. Electricity heats 26.7%, while propane heats 1.5%. That split matters because the Xcel Energy rebate has one amount for homes leaving gas, boiler, or propane heat and another for homes leaving electric heat.
The State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount, Power Ahead Colorado rebate, and the applicable Xcel Energy rebate can stack on a qualifying job. The state discount comes off the invoice. We file every rebate for the homeowner.
Broomfield County covers 32.968 square miles. A local quote still starts with the home, its existing heat source, and the system type, rather than a countywide average.

Programs that apply in Broomfield County
Our estimate tool identifies the Xcel Energy rebate for Xcel Energy customers whose homes now use a gas furnace, gas boiler, or propane. It applies to a ducted heat pump, dual-fuel system, or ductless mini-split. The program amount is $1,500 per ton of heating.
Xcel Energy customers whose homes now use electric heat qualify under the electric-heat version of the Xcel Energy rebate. It also applies to all three system types. The amount for this version is $750 per ton of heating. A home uses the Xcel version that matches its current heat source.
The State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount applies to every Colorado home and to any of the three systems. The amount is $1,000. We apply this discount directly to the invoice rather than asking the homeowner to wait for it.
Power Ahead Colorado applies in Broomfield County and in Adams County, Arapahoe County, Boulder County, Clear Creek County, Denver County, Douglas County, Gilpin County, Jefferson County, and Weld County. It covers each of the three system types. The amount is $1,500.
How Broomfield County rebates stack
For a 3-ton ducted heat pump in a gas-heated home, total rebates are $7,000. The stack is the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). The same three program rules apply when a qualifying propane-heated home changes to a heat pump.
For a 3-ton ducted heat pump replacing electric heat, total rebates are $4,700. That total includes the Xcel Energy rebate ($2,200), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). The lower Xcel amount reflects the separate electric-heat program rule, while the Colorado discount and Power Ahead amount remain in the stack.
For a 3-ton dual-fuel system in a gas-heated home, total rebates are $7,000. The program stack is the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). Dual fuel retains a gas furnace for the coldest hours, with the heat pump providing heating and cooling through the rest of its operating range.
For a 3-ton ductless mini-split replacing electric heat, total rebates are $4,700. The stack is the Xcel Energy rebate ($2,200), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). A 3-ton ductless system in a gas-heated home has total rebates of $7,000, made up of the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500).
Choosing a system that fits the rebate rules
A ducted heat pump replaces or works with a home's forced-air equipment. It fits Broomfield homes with ducts that pass our inspection. Since 70.7% of county homes use utility gas, many homeowners start with either a ducted replacement or a dual-fuel setup under the gas-heating Xcel rule.
Dual fuel is a strong fit where an existing gas furnace remains useful for the coldest hours. It qualifies for the same three programs as a ducted heat pump when the home meets the gas-heating Xcel rule. The county's 70.7% gas heat share is higher than Colorado's 66.7% share.
Ductless mini-splits fit homes without ducts, additions, and condos. That matters in Broomfield County, where 25.1% of homes are in buildings with 10 or more units and 6.9% are in buildings with 2 to 9 units. Ductless equipment also cools, and it uses the electric-heat or gas-heating rebate path based on the current system.
The county has 2.1% mobile homes, compared with 3.6% in Colorado. Equipment selection still depends on the home's measured load, electrical panel, available ducts, and the current heating equipment that sets the rebate rule.
Programs that do not apply here
Efficiency Works rebate is listed as not applying in Broomfield County. The same list also excludes the Boulder County income-qualified rebate. Broomfield County is separate from Boulder County, even though Power Ahead Colorado applies in both counties.
Holy Cross Energy rebate, Mountain Parks Electric rebate, Gunnison County Electric rebate, San Miguel Power rebate, and Sangre de Cristo Electric rebate do not apply here. Our estimate tool uses the Broomfield County program list, which instead includes the Xcel Energy, State of Colorado, and Power Ahead programs.
No income-qualified heat pump program is listed for Broomfield County. The federal 25C credit ended for systems installed after 2025-12-31. It is not part of a current rebate stack for a system installed after that date.
Boulder County is 21 miles away, but its separate income-qualified program does not transfer to Broomfield County. Program location and current heating fuel both determine which rebates appear in a homeowner's estimate.
Filing rebates and sizing the job
We file every available rebate for the homeowner, and the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount comes off the invoice. Our estimate tool uses the current heat source, system type, and design size to identify the applicable Xcel version and the full stack. Our rebate settings were reviewed 2026-10-26.
We measure the home, inspect ducts, and check the electrical panel before installation. We size air-source equipment for 1°F at 5,300 ft. At that elevation, an air-source unit loses 18% of heat output, so a system cannot be selected from floor area alone.
At the design temperature, our sizing uses a coefficient of performance of 2. A winter gas bill makes the online estimate more accurate, and the estimate takes about two minutes. Most installations take one day. Jobs with several ductless units can take two or three days.
For a ductless estimate, each indoor unit covers 500 sq ft in our estimate. The estimate prices up to 5 indoor units before a custom quote. We confirm room layout and the needed number of indoor units before work begins.
