Heat pumps for Evans homes
Evans has 7,211 homes across 10.501 square miles, and 6,930 are occupied. Census figures show a median build year of 2002, later than Weld County's 2000 and Colorado's 1987. Evans homes have a median of 5.4 rooms, compared with 6.2 in the county. That newer housing profile points first to a duct check and a room by room load calculation, not a one size system choice.
Construction from 2000 to 2009 accounts for 42.4% of Evans homes. Another 16.6% were built in 2010 or later. Weld County has 25.5% built from 2000 to 2009 and 24% built in 2010 or later. The large 2000 to 2009 group fits the example home used in our estimate tool, a 2,000 square foot, 2 story home with a gas furnace.
Evans has 69.7% owner occupied homes, below Weld County's 75.5% and above Colorado's 66.3%. Detached houses make up 64.2% of local homes, close to Colorado's 61.8% but below Weld County's 73.1%. We assess existing ducts in these homes before recommending a central ducted system or dual fuel setup.
Evans compared with nearby towns
Evans is newer than La Salle, Garden City, Greeley, and Gilcrest. Its 2002 median build year is later than La Salle's 1974, Garden City's 1966, Greeley's 1984, and Gilcrest's 1975. Only 6.9% of Evans homes were built before 1960. That compares with 19.7% in La Salle, 40.2% in Garden City, 15.5% in Greeley, and 18.4% in Gilcrest. Older homes deserve added attention to ducts and heat loss.
The town has 20.3% of homes in multi unit buildings. That is higher than La Salle's 4% and Gilcrest's 0%, but lower than Garden City's 82.7% and Greeley's 32.1%. Ductless equipment suits condos and other multi unit homes where central ducts are absent. A ductless system also cools each served area.
Evans has 64.2% detached homes. La Salle has 94.2%, Garden City has 15.6%, Greeley has 56.5%, and Gilcrest has 81.9%. Detached homes with workable ducts fit a ducted heat pump. Homes with a gas furnace that homeowners want to retain for the coldest hours fit dual fuel. Both choices also provide cooling.
Gas heat serves 82.9% of Evans homes. This is lower than La Salle's 92.6%, but higher than Garden City's 68.8%, Greeley's 76.2%, and Gilcrest's 77.9%. Electricity heats 15.2% of Evans homes, compared with 7.1% in La Salle and 29.4% in Garden City. Existing fuel and duct condition shape the system choice.
Heating choices for Evans housing
A heat pump moves heat rather than burning fuel. In Evans, utility gas is the leading heating fuel at 82.9%, while electricity accounts for 15.2% and propane for 0.7%. Xcel supplies gas here. For a home with ducts and a gas furnace, a ducted heat pump replaces the heating and cooling equipment with a central system sized to the house.
Dual fuel combines a heat pump with the existing gas furnace. It fits gas heated houses that have usable ducts and want the furnace available for the coldest hours. This aligns with Evans, where gas heat is 82.9%, compared with 73.9% in Weld County and 66.7% statewide. We check the ducts, electrical panel, and home measurements before installation.
Ductless mini splits suit homes without ducts, additions, and condos. Evans has 13.7% of homes in buildings with 2 to 9 units and 6.6% in buildings with 10 or more units. Its 10.2% mobile home share also exceeds Weld County's 6.5% and Colorado's 3.6%. Each of these housing types calls for a direct review of layout and electrical capacity.
Homes built before 1960 make up 6.9% of Evans housing. Homes from 1960 to 1979 make up 16.1%, and homes from 1980 to 1999 make up 18%. These earlier homes are more likely to have no ducts or small ducts. Ductless avoids a central duct retrofit. Dual fuel retains the furnace while adding heat pump cooling.
Sizing heat pumps in Evans
We size for 1°F outdoors and 70°F indoors at 5,300 ft. Air source heat pumps lose output at altitude and in deep cold. Our settings account for 18% heat output loss at this elevation. At the design temperature, the equipment delivers 2 units of heat for each unit of electricity.
For the 2,000 square foot, 2 story, gas heated example home built from 2000 to 2009, the design load is 2.4 tons. The electrical plan uses a 30 A breaker. This is why floor area alone cannot set equipment size. We measure the home, inspect ducts, and check the electrical panel before we install.
The same 2,000 square foot example changes with construction era. A home built before 1960 has a 3.4 tons design load. A home from 1960 to 1979 has 3.2 tons, while a home from 1980 to 1999 has 2.8 tons. A home built in 2010 or later has 2.0 tons. The building shell changes the required capacity.
For the 1,500 square foot ductless example, our estimate tool includes 3 indoor units. It uses 500 sq ft per indoor unit and prices up to 5 units before a custom quote. Several ductless units can take 2 or 3 days to install. Most other installations take 1 day.
Evans heat pump prices and rebates
For the 2,000 square foot, 2 story example from 2000 to 2009, a ducted heat pump is $12,800 to $24,600 before rebates and $6,700 to $18,500 after rebates. A dual fuel system is $10,200 to $19,800 before rebates and $4,100 to $13,700 after rebates. These are example ranges from our estimate tool, based on a gas heated home.
The 1,500 square foot ductless example has 3 indoor units. Its price is $11,800 to $19,200 before rebates and $8,000 to $15,400 after rebates. Ductless pricing varies by indoor unit count. A 1 unit system is $5,800 to $9,400, while a 5 unit system is $17,800 to $28,900. We use the home layout to set the indoor unit plan.
A gas heated Evans home with a 3 ton ducted heat pump has total rebates of $7,000. The programs in that total are the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). For a home now heated with electricity, the equivalent total is $4,700, from the Xcel Energy rebate ($2,200), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). The Xcel Energy program differs by the existing heating fuel.
Every Colorado home can receive the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount of $1,000 on any of the three systems. It comes off the invoice. Weld County homes also qualify for the Power Ahead Colorado rebate of $1,500. We file every rebate for the homeowner. The federal 25C credit ended for systems installed after 2025-12-31.

Multi unit buildings make up 23.5%, above 80620's 21.4% and 80645's 2.5%. Ductless planning deserves particular attention in these buildings.
The online estimate takes about 2 minutes, and a winter gas bill makes it more accurate. It covers Mitsubishi, Bosch, Daikin, Carrier, and Trane equipment. We then confirm system size, duct condition, and panel capacity at the home. That process addresses the substantial housing differences between 80620, 80634, and 80645.
