Heat pumps for Strasburg homes
Strasburg has 1,152 homes, and all 1,152 are occupied. Census figures show that 86% are owner occupied, compared with 65.1% in Arapahoe County and 66.3% across Colorado. A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel. It also provides cooling.
The town's median home was built in 1999, later than the 1985 median in Arapahoe County and the 1987 median statewide. Strasburg homes have 5.8 median rooms, the same as the county and slightly above Colorado's 5.7. The home itself still sets the equipment size and system choice.
Strasburg covers 20.805 square miles. Bennett is 6 miles away and has 1,114 homes, while Byers is 6 miles away with 604 homes. Bennett's median build year is 1989, and Byers' is 1980. Nearby housing figures give useful context, but they do not replace measuring a Strasburg home.
How Strasburg housing compares
Detached houses account for 83.2% of Strasburg homes. That is higher than Arapahoe County at 56.3%, Colorado at 61.8%, Bennett at 82.9%, and Byers at 74.8%. Existing central ducts are common in this detached housing stock, so a ducted heat pump is a strong starting point where the ducts pass inspection.
Multiunit buildings account for 6.6% of homes in Strasburg. That is lower than the county's 32.2% and Colorado's 26.9%, but higher than Comanche Creek's 0%. Ductless equipment fits condos and other homes without ducts. It also fits additions that need heating and cooling apart from the main system.
Mobile homes make up 10.2% of Strasburg housing, compared with 0.8% in Arapahoe County and 3.6% statewide. Attached houses account for 0% locally, while 10.5% of county homes are attached. The local housing mix puts more attention on detached home ducts, electrical capacity, and the layout of each home.
The age of Strasburg homes
Homes built from 2000 to 2009 form the largest Strasburg construction group at 31.5%. That share is 15.4% in Arapahoe County and 16.7% in Colorado. A 2,000 square foot, 2 story gas home from this group is the example home used in our estimate tool.
Homes built from 1980 to 1999 account for 24.6% of Strasburg housing. Another 17.3% were built from 1960 to 1979, and 10.3% were built before 1960. Older homes are more likely to lack ducts or have small ducts. That makes a duct inspection important before selecting a central system.
Homes built in 2010 or later represent 16.3% of Strasburg homes. This is above Arapahoe County's 11% and Colorado's 14%, though below Bennett's 19.1% and Comanche Creek's 46.7%. Newer construction does not remove the need for sizing. Floor area, build group, ducts, and electrical equipment all affect the recommendation.
Heating systems for Strasburg homes
Utility gas heats 80.7% of Strasburg homes. That exceeds Arapahoe County's 65.9%, Colorado's 66.7%, Bennett's 81.7%, and is slightly below Byers' 84.3%. A ducted heat pump fits gas heated homes with sound ducts. It takes over heating and cooling with a central indoor system.
Dual fuel is another fit for much of Strasburg's gas heated housing. It combines a heat pump with the existing gas furnace, which stays available for the coldest hours. This option suits a detached home with usable ducts and a furnace the homeowner wants to retain. The example home has a gas furnace and is a dual fuel candidate.
Electricity heats 8.7% of Strasburg homes, compared with 30.6% in Arapahoe County and 25.2% statewide. Propane heats 6.9%, compared with 1.6% in the county and 4.9% statewide. Ductless equipment suits electric or propane heated homes without ducts, as well as additions and condos. Comanche Creek has 93.5% propane heat, showing how fuel choice changes between nearby places.
Sizing for Strasburg cold and altitude
We size heat pumps to 1°F outdoors and 70°F indoors, using 5,300 ft. At that elevation, our estimate tool accounts for 18% of lost air source output. Air source equipment loses output in deep cold and at altitude, so a correct design load matters more than choosing equipment by floor area alone.
The 2,000 square foot, 2 story example home has a gas furnace and was built from 2000 to 2009. Its design heat load is 2.4 tons, and the listed breaker size is 30 A. This build group represents 31.5% of Strasburg homes, so it is a useful local example, not a standard size for every address.
For the same 2,000 square foot gas home, the design load is 3.4 tons when built before 1960. It is 3.2 tons for homes built from 1960 to 1979, 2.8 tons for homes built from 1980 to 1999, and 2.0 tons for homes built in 2010 or later. We measure the home and check its ducts and electrical panel before installation.
Prices for the Strasburg example home
For the 2,000 square foot, 2 story gas example home, a ducted heat pump is $12,800 to $24,600 before rebates. Its listed price after rebates is $6,700 to $18,500. A dual fuel system is $10,200 to $19,800 before rebates and $4,100 to $13,700 after rebates. Our estimate tool uses the home type, build group, heating fuel, and system choice for these ranges.
A 1,500 square foot ductless example in the 2000 to 2009 group uses 3 indoor units. Its price is $11,800 to $19,200 before rebates and $8,000 to $15,400 after rebates. The estimate uses 500 sq ft of floor area per ductless indoor unit and prices up to 5 indoor units before a custom quote.
An older home can require a larger system. For a 2,000 square foot gas home built before 1960, ducted pricing is $17,400 to $37,800 before rebates and $9,900 to $30,300 after rebates. Dual fuel pricing is $14,000 to $30,600 before rebates and $6,500 to $23,100 after rebates. The difference follows the 3.4 tons design load.
