Sherrelwood homes need local system planning
Census figures show 6,568 homes in Sherrelwood, including 6,314 occupied homes. The median home was built in 1966 and has 6.1 rooms. Adams County has a 1990 median build year and 5.8 rooms. Colorado's median build year is 1987. Sherrelwood's older homes call for an inspection of ducts, insulation, and room layout before equipment selection.
Sherrelwood has 30.9% of homes built before 1960 and 54% built from 1960 to 1979. In Adams County, those shares are 13.5% and 23.8%. Only 1.2% of Sherrelwood homes were built in 2010 or later, compared with 14.9% in the county. Older homes are more likely to have small ducts or no ducts, which changes the best system choice.
Detached houses make up 72.5% of Sherrelwood homes. That is above Adams County at 62.6% and Colorado at 61.8%. Owner occupancy is 69.7%, compared with 68.9% in Adams County. Many detached homes have the space and existing layout for a central heat pump or a dual fuel system.
Multi-unit buildings account for 24.2% of Sherrelwood homes. Adams County has 22.9%, while Colorado has 26.9%. This mix means local equipment planning needs both central options for detached homes and ductless options for condos or homes without usable ducts.
Sherrelwood compared with nearby towns
Sherrelwood's 1966 median build year is older than Twin Lakes at 1976 and Federal Heights at 1990. It is newer than North Washington at 1958, and close to Shaw Heights at 1968. Age matters because the home's construction affects its heating load and the condition of existing ducts.
North Washington has 59.8% of homes built before 1960, compared with 30.9% in Sherrelwood. Twin Lakes has 35.3%, while Shaw Heights has 17.4%. Federal Heights has 2.5%. These nearby differences show why a heat pump cannot be sized from town averages or square footage alone.
Sherrelwood has 24.2% of homes in multi-unit buildings. That is above Twin Lakes at 15.5%, North Washington at 4.9%, and Shaw Heights at 1.9%. Federal Heights is higher at 32.2%. Ductless units suit condos, additions, and homes without ducts, while ducted systems fit homes with usable central ductwork.
Sherrelwood's detached-house share is 72.5%. Twin Lakes has 78.1%, North Washington has 90.2%, and Shaw Heights has 88%. Federal Heights differs at 17.6%. The nearby housing mix supports central heat pump planning in many houses and ductless planning where central ductwork is absent.
How Sherrelwood homes heat today
Utility gas heats 68.4% of Sherrelwood homes. Electricity heats 28.4%, and propane heats 0.8%. Adams County is close, with 68.8% gas heat, 27.1% electric heat, and 2% propane heat. Heat pumps move heat instead of burning fuel, and they also provide cooling.
A ducted heat pump fits a home with sound central ducts. That makes it a strong fit for part of Sherrelwood's 72.5% detached-house stock. We measure the home and check its ducts and electrical panel before installation. The system size follows the home's load at local design conditions.
Dual fuel keeps the gas furnace for the coldest hours. It fits a gas-heated home with ducts, especially where the homeowner wants the furnace retained. Since 68.4% of Sherrelwood homes use utility gas, dual fuel is relevant to a large share of local homes.
Ductless mini-splits fit homes with no ducts, additions, and condos. They are a direct option for part of Sherrelwood's 24.2% multi-unit housing. A ductless layout uses indoor units for separate areas of the home, rather than relying on a central duct system.
Sizing a Sherrelwood heat pump
Our estimate tool sizes equipment to 1°F outdoors and 70°F indoors, at 5,300 ft. Air-source equipment loses 18% of heating output at that elevation. At the design temperature, our settings use 2 units of heat per unit of electricity. Those conditions shape the final equipment capacity.
Consider a 2,000 square foot, 2-story home with a gas furnace, built from 1960 to 1979. Its estimated design heat load is 3.2 tons, and the example uses a 30 A breaker. This construction period covers 54% of Sherrelwood homes, making it a useful local price and sizing example.
The same 2,000 square foot, 2-story gas home has a design load of 3.4 tons if built before 1960. If built from 1980 to 1999, its load is 2.8 tons. A home built from 2000 to 2009 has 2.4 tons, while one built in 2010 or later has 2.0 tons. Build period changes equipment needs at the same floor area.
Sherrelwood has 30.9% of homes built before 1960, compared with 13.5% in Adams County. It also has 54% built from 1960 to 1979, compared with 23.8% in the county. That concentration of older homes makes measured load calculations and duct checks central to a correct system selection.
Example system prices for Sherrelwood homes
Our estimate tool puts the ducted heat pump price for the 2,000 square foot, 2-story gas-heated example at $17,400 to $31,200 before rebates. After applicable gas-heating rebates, the range is $10,100 to $23,900. This example uses the 3.2 tons design load for a home built from 1960 to 1979.
For that same example, a dual fuel system costs $14,000 to $25,200 before rebates and $6,700 to $17,900 after rebates. Dual fuel retains the gas furnace for the coldest hours. Since utility gas serves 68.4% of local homes, this equipment path matches a common Sherrelwood heating setup.
For a 1,500 square foot, 1-story home with electric heat and no ducts, the ductless example uses 3 indoor units. Its price is $11,800 to $19,200 before rebates and $7,600 to $15,000 after rebates. Our estimate uses about 500 sq ft per ductless indoor unit.
The estimate prices up to 5 ductless indoor units before a custom quote. Most installations take one day. Jobs with several ductless units can take two or three days. We install Mitsubishi, Bosch, Daikin, Carrier, and Trane equipment.

For a 3-ton ducted heat pump replacing electric heat, total rebates are $4,700, including the Xcel Energy rebate ($2,200), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). The State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount comes off the invoice, and we file every rebate for the homeowner.
Xcel Energy customers who heat with a gas furnace, gas boiler, or propane can qualify for the Xcel Energy rebate on any of the three systems. Customers with electric heat have a separate Xcel Energy rebate on those systems. The Power Ahead Colorado rebate applies in Adams County. The federal 25C credit ended for systems installed after 2025-12-31.
