Kersey homes and nearby towns

Census figures count 506 homes in Kersey, with 496 occupied. The median Kersey home was built in 1979 and has 5.4 rooms. Weld County has 125,033 homes, a median build year of 2000, and 6.2 median rooms. Kersey's earlier housing calls for a close check of the building, existing equipment, ducts, and electrical panel before selecting a heat pump.

Kersey has 26.3% of homes built before 1960, compared with 12% across Weld County and 16.3% across Colorado. Homes built from 1960 to 1979 make up another 26.1% of Kersey housing. The older share is higher than Greeley's 15.5% and Evans's 6.9%. A measured heating load matters more than the size of the equipment already in place.

Homes built from 1980 to 1999 are Kersey's largest age group at 30%. The median build year is earlier than Greeley's 1984 and Evans's 2002, but later than La Salle's 1974. A home's age does not choose the system by itself. It shows why duct condition, room layout, insulation, and electrical capacity need inspection before sizing.

Kersey has 2.239 square miles of land. Garden City is 6 miles away, La Salle is 7 miles away, Evans is 9 miles away, and Greeley is 10 miles away. These towns have different housing ages and building types. The home itself, rather than the town name, determines the right heat pump plan.

Housing types shape the system choice in Kersey

Detached houses make up 68% of Kersey homes. That is below Weld County's 73.1% detached share, but above Greeley's 56.5% and Evans's 64.2%. A detached home with suitable ducts is a strong fit for a central ducted heat pump. The same home can fit dual fuel when the existing gas furnace stays for the coldest hours.

Multi unit buildings account for 15% of Kersey homes, nearly matching Weld County's 16%. Garden City has 82.7% multi unit buildings, while La Salle has 4%. Building layout changes the equipment plan. Ductless heat pumps suit condos, additions, and homes without ducts. They place heating and cooling directly in the rooms served.

Mobile homes are 17% of Kersey housing, compared with 6.5% in Weld County and 3.6% statewide. Attached houses account for 0% in Kersey, while Weld County has 4.2%. These local housing types make a site visit important. We measure the home and check its ducts and electrical panel before we install equipment.

Kersey has 64.5% owner occupied homes, compared with 75.5% in Weld County and 66.3% in Colorado. The 15% multi unit share remains far below Greeley's 32.1%. A central system fits many detached Kersey homes, while a ductless layout fits individual rooms where a central duct path is unavailable.

How Kersey homes heat today

Utility gas heats 70.8% of Kersey homes. That is lower than Weld County at 73.9%, Greeley at 76.2%, Evans at 82.9%, and La Salle at 92.6%. Gas heated households can replace central equipment with a ducted heat pump. They can also use dual fuel, which keeps the gas furnace for the coldest hours.

Electricity heats 21.6% of Kersey homes, above Weld County's 17.1% and Greeley's 19.6%. Garden City has 29.4% electric heat. Electric heated homes without ducts fit ductless systems well. A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel, and it provides cooling too. Homes with central ducts need a duct capacity check before a ducted replacement.

Propane heats 7.7% of Kersey homes, compared with 6.7% in Weld County and 0.7% in Evans. That share matters because propane homes qualify under the Xcel Energy rebate rule when eligible. The starting fuel affects which rebate total applies to the estimate and whether a ducted, dual fuel, or ductless design fits the home.

Kersey's gas share of 70.8% is close to Broomfield County's 70.7% and Larimer County's 70.4%. Its electric share of 21.6% is lower than Morgan County's 29.2%. Fuel use points to the existing heating equipment, but duct availability and the design load still determine the system selection.

Sizing for Kersey design conditions

Our estimate tool sizes a Kersey system for 1°F outdoors and 70°F indoors. It uses an elevation of 5,300 ft. An air source unit loses 18% of heat output at that elevation. Equipment must meet the home's load at the design temperature, rather than relying on floor area alone.

At the design temperature, the heat pump delivers 2 units of heat per unit of electricity. The example is a 2,000 square foot, 2 story home with a gas furnace, built from 1980 to 1999. Its design heat load is 2.8 tons, and its estimate uses a 30 A breaker. We measure the home before selecting equipment.

The same 2,000 square foot, 2 story gas home has a load of 3.4 tons when built before 1960. A home built from 1960 to 1979 has a 3.2 tons load. A home built from 2000 to 2009 has a 2.4 tons load, while a 2010 or later home has a 2.0 tons load. These differences show why age group changes equipment selection.

Kersey's median build year is 1979, while Weld County's is 2000. That gap matters during sizing. Older homes can have small ducts or no ducts, so we check the existing duct system as well as the heating load. A ductless layout avoids central ducts where the home does not have a practical duct path.

Prices for the Kersey example home

For the 2,000 square foot example home, a ducted heat pump costs $15,100 to $27,900 before rebates. The estimated price after rebates is $8,400 to $21,200. Our estimate tool provides these ranges. This central option fits a home with ductwork that can carry the required airflow. We inspect the ducts before recommending it.

A dual fuel system for the same example costs $12,100 to $22,500 before rebates and $5,400 to $15,800 after rebates. It combines a heat pump with the existing gas furnace. This route fits gas heated homes where the furnace remains in place for the coldest hours. The example home has a 2.8 tons design load.

For a 1,500 square foot ductless example, 3 indoor units cost $11,800 to $19,200 before rebates and $7,800 to $15,200 after rebates. Our estimate tool uses one indoor unit for each 500 sq ft of floor area. It prices up to 5 indoor units before a custom quote.

Most installs take one day. Jobs with several ductless units can take 2 or 3 days. The ductless example uses 3 indoor units, so its room layout and indoor unit locations are part of the planning. We review those details when we measure the home.

Kersey rebates and ZIP code differences

For a gas heated home with a 3 ton ducted heat pump, total rebates are $7,000. The rebate 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 State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount applies to every Colorado home and comes off the invoice. The Power Ahead Colorado rebate applies to homes in Weld County on all 3 system types.

For a home now heated with electricity, total rebates on a 3 ton ducted heat pump are $4,700. The programs are the Xcel Energy rebate ($2,200), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). A propane heated home has $7,000 in total rebates, using the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). We file every rebate for the homeowner. The federal 25C credit ended for systems installed after 2025-12-31.
