Sheridan homes and heating choices

Sheridan has 2,542 homes within 2.225 square miles. Census figures show 2,410 occupied homes, a median build year of 1974, and 4.8 median rooms. Arapahoe County is newer, with a 1985 median build year and 5.8 median rooms. Colorado homes have a 1987 median build year and 5.7 rooms. Home age, room count, ducts, and electrical capacity all affect system selection.

Homes built from 1960 to 1979 make up 46% of Sheridan housing. Another 19.3% were built before 1960. Arapahoe County has 29.8% from 1960 to 1979 and 9.1% before 1960. Sheridan has a much larger share of older homes. Older homes are more likely to lack ducts or have small ducts, so we inspect the distribution system before choosing equipment.

Utility gas heats 61.1% of Sheridan homes, electricity heats 28%, and propane heats 9.5%. In Arapahoe County, the shares are 65.9% gas, 30.6% electricity, and 1.6% propane. Sheridan has less gas heat than the county and far more propane heat. A heat pump moves heat rather than burning fuel, but the current heating system still shapes the equipment and rebate path.

Sheridan compared with nearby towns

Detached houses account for 47.5% of Sheridan homes. Multi-unit buildings account for 35.3%, compared with 32.2% in Arapahoe County and 26.9% statewide. Attached houses add 4.2%, while mobile homes account for 8.5%. This mix calls for central systems in houses and ductless layouts where ducts cannot serve each room.

Englewood is 1 mile away and has a 1965 median build year, compared with 1974 in Sheridan. Its homes built before 1960 account for 45.7%, compared with 19.3% in Sheridan. Englewood also has 42% multi-unit buildings, higher than Sheridan's 35.3%. Both towns need close duct and room layout checks, particularly in older residences.

Bow Mar is 2 miles away and Columbine Valley is 3 miles away. Bow Mar is 100% detached housing, while Columbine Valley is 95.4% detached. Sheridan is only 47.5% detached. Littleton, 4 miles away, is more similar to Sheridan with 49.4% detached homes and 39% multi-unit buildings. Condos and attached homes can call for a different indoor-unit layout than detached homes.

Gas heat reaches 87.9% in Bow Mar, 88.3% in Columbine Valley, and 69.9% in Littleton. Sheridan's 61.1% gas share is lower than each nearby town. Electricity heats 28% of Sheridan homes, close to Littleton's 27.7% but below Englewood's 33.3%. Current fuel matters because gas, electric, and propane homes have different rebate totals.

Heat pump options for Sheridan homes

A ducted heat pump fits a home with usable ducts and room for central equipment. It provides heating and cooling through the existing duct system. This can fit many of Sheridan's 47.5% detached houses. We measure the home, inspect ducts, and check the electrical panel before installation. Older ducts can limit the size and type of central equipment.

Dual fuel fits a gas-heated home with a furnace that remains in place. The heat pump provides heating and cooling, while the gas furnace covers the coldest hours. This is relevant to Sheridan's 61.1% gas-heated homes and its 46% share built from 1960 to 1979. It retains furnace distribution while adding heat pump capacity sized for local winter conditions.

Ductless mini-splits fit homes without ducts, additions, and condos. Sheridan has 35.3% multi-unit buildings and 28% electric-heated homes. Our estimate tool assigns 500 sq ft of floor area per ductless indoor unit and prices up to 5 indoor units before a custom quote. A ductless plan places indoor units in the rooms that need conditioning.

The system should follow the specific home, rather than a townwide average. A detached gas-heated house with sound ducts can fit ducted equipment or dual fuel. An electric-heated condo without ducts can fit ductless equipment. Propane heats 9.5% of Sheridan homes, compared with 1.6% across Arapahoe County, so propane replacements are a larger local group.

Sizing heat pumps in Sheridan

We size air-source equipment to 1°F outdoors and 70°F indoors. Our sizing uses 5,300 ft, where an air-source unit loses 18% of heat output. At the design temperature, the heat pump provides 2 units of heat for each unit of electricity. These conditions require a measured load calculation, not a system selected from floor area alone.

For a 2,000 square foot, 2-story Sheridan example home with a gas furnace built from 1960 to 1979, our estimate tool calculates 3.2 tons. The electrical plan calls for a 30 A breaker. The example matches Sheridan's largest build group, but it does not set the equipment size for every home. Insulation, windows, ducts, floor plan, and electrical capacity require review.

Build year changes the example load. A 2,000 square foot, 2-story gas home built before 1960 calculates to 3.4 tons. A comparable home built from 1980 to 1999 calculates to 2.8 tons. One built from 2000 to 2009 calculates to 2.4 tons, and one built in 2010 or later calculates to 2.0 tons. Sheridan's older housing share makes build era a key sizing input.

Most installations take one day. Jobs with several ductless units can take two or three days. Mitsubishi, Bosch, Daikin, Carrier, and Trane are among the brands we install. The online estimate takes about two minutes, and a winter gas bill makes a gas-heated home estimate more accurate.

Sheridan heat pump rebates

Three rebate programs apply to Sheridan homes on each of the three system types. Xcel Energy customers replacing gas, gas boiler, or propane heat can receive $1,500 per ton of heating from the Xcel Energy rebate. The State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount is $1,000 for every Colorado home. Power Ahead Colorado adds $1,500 in Arapahoe County. The state discount comes off the invoice.

For a 3-ton ducted gas-home example, total rebates are $7,000. This total includes 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 total, $7,000, applies to the 3-ton ducted propane-home example. This matters in Sheridan, where 61.1% of homes use gas and 9.5% use propane.

For a 3-ton ducted home now using electric heat, total rebates are $4,700. The listed 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). The 3-ton ductless mini-split example replacing electric heat also has $4,700 in rebates. Electric heat serves 28% of Sheridan homes, so these households use the electric-heating rebate path.

A 3-ton ductless system in a gas-heated home has $7,000 in total rebates, with the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). A 3-ton dual-fuel gas home has $7,000, including 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.

Example prices and the 80110 ZIP code

For the 2,000 square foot, 2-story gas example built from 1960 to 1979, ducted heat pump pricing before rebates is $17,400 to $31,200. After rebates, the range is $10,100 to $23,900. This example uses a 3.2 tons design load. A site review confirms the final equipment, duct, and electrical scope.

Dual-fuel pricing for the same example is $14,000 to $25,200 before rebates and $6,700 to $17,900 after rebates. Dual fuel keeps the gas furnace for the coldest hours. Both ducted heat pump and dual-fuel systems fit homes with usable ducts. The existing furnace condition determines whether retaining it is the right approach.

For a 1,500 square foot, 1-story electric-heated home without ducts in the same build group, the ductless example uses 3 indoor units. Its price before rebates is $11,800 to $19,200, followed by $7,600 to $15,000 after rebates. This layout fits condos, additions, and other homes without central ducts.

Sheridan's listed ZIP code is 80110, whose main town is Englewood. It has 10,804 homes and a 1968 median build year, older than Sheridan's 1974. Homes built before 1960 account for 40.1% in 80110, versus 19.3% in Sheridan. The ZIP has 35.6% multi-unit buildings, close to Sheridan's 35.3%, but 54.1% detached housing compared with 47.5%.

Fuel patterns also differ. Gas heats 62.2% of 80110 homes, close to Sheridan's 61.1%. Electricity heats 32.6%, above Sheridan's 28%, while propane heats 3.1%, below Sheridan's 9.5%. ZIP figures do not size an individual home. We use its fuel, ducts, age, layout, electrical panel, and measured load.
