Stratmoor homes and nearby housing
Census figures count 2,517 homes in Stratmoor, with 2,396 occupied. The typical home was built in 1976 and has 5.6 rooms. El Paso County homes are newer, with a 1988 median build year and 6.2 median rooms. That points to more established homes in Stratmoor, where duct layout and insulation deserve a close look before choosing equipment.
Homes built from 1960 to 1979 make up 55.3% of Stratmoor housing. That share is 23.9% in El Paso County and 24.3% across Colorado. Homes built before 1960 account for 5.8% here, compared with 12.4% in the county. The large 1960 to 1979 group makes a measured load calculation more useful than choosing a system by house age alone.
Detached houses make up 60% of Stratmoor homes, below the county share of 67.1%. Multi-unit buildings account for 15.6% here, compared with 22% countywide and 26.9% statewide. Mobile homes account for 17.8%, far above the Colorado share of 3.6%. A home's structure, ducts, and electrical panel guide the equipment choice.
How Stratmoor compares with nearby towns
Security-Widefield has 13,770 homes and a 1982 median build year. Its detached-home share is 93.9%, while Stratmoor's is 60%. Stratmoor has a much larger multi-unit share, 15.6% compared with 3.2%. Ductless systems fit condos and other homes without ducts, while ducted or dual-fuel systems fit many detached homes with usable ductwork.
Fort Carson has 3,646 homes, a 2002 median build year, and 32.9% electric heat. Stratmoor has 26% electric heat and a 1976 median build year. Fort Carson also has 14.5% multi-unit buildings, close to Stratmoor's 15.6%. Existing heating equipment and the room layout matter more than town averages for selecting a ductless system.
Colorado Springs has 207,078 homes and a 1986 median build year. Its multi-unit building share is 28.6%, higher than Stratmoor's 15.6%, while its detached-home share is 60.8%, close to Stratmoor's 60%. Rock Creek Park has 45 homes, 100% detached houses, and 51.1% propane heat. Stratmoor needs choices for a broader mix of gas, electric, detached, multi-unit, and mobile homes.
Heating choices for Stratmoor homes
Utility gas heats 71.4% of Stratmoor homes. That exceeds the 69.4% county share and the 66.7% Colorado share. For a gas-heated home with sound ducts, a ducted heat pump replaces heating and cooling equipment. A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel, and it also cools the home.
Dual fuel fits many of the 71.4% of homes now using gas. It keeps the gas furnace for the coldest hours and adds a heat pump for heating and cooling. This approach suits a house with an existing furnace and ducts, especially where duct condition supports the new equipment.
Electricity heats 26% of Stratmoor homes, compared with 24.8% in El Paso County. Ductless units fit homes without ducts, additions, and condos. They also fit the 17.8% mobile-home share where a central ducted replacement is not the right match. We check the home's layout and electrical panel before recommending indoor units.
Sizing a heat pump in Stratmoor
Our estimate tool sizes equipment to an outdoor design temperature of 1°F and an indoor design temperature of 70°F. It uses an elevation of 5,300 ft, where an air-source unit loses 18% of heat output. At the design temperature, our settings use a coefficient of performance of 2. These conditions require equipment sized for Stratmoor rather than a rating chosen from floor area alone.
Consider a 2,000 sq ft, 2-story, gas-heated home built from 1960 to 1979. The design heat load is 3.2 tons, and the example calls for a 30 A breaker. This housing period represents 55.3% of Stratmoor homes, so it is a useful example, not a substitute for measuring an individual home.
A comparable home built before 1960 has a 3.4 tons design load. A home from 1980 to 1999 has a 2.8 tons load, while one built in 2010 or later has a 2.0 tons load. We measure the home, check ducts, and inspect the electrical panel before installation. Those details determine capacity and system type.
Example heat pump prices in Stratmoor
For the 2,000 sq ft, 2-story gas home built from 1960 to 1979, a ducted heat pump costs $17,400 to $31,200 before rebates. After rebates, the range is $16,400 to $30,200. A dual-fuel system costs $14,000 to $25,200 before rebates and $13,000 to $24,200 after rebates. Our estimate tool provides these ranges using the home details and local settings.
For the ductless example home with electric heat and no ducts, the system uses 3 indoor units. Its price is $11,800 to $19,200 before rebates and $10,800 to $18,200 after rebates. Our settings allow about 500 sq ft per ductless indoor unit and price up to 5 indoor units before a custom quote.
Older construction changes the ducted and dual-fuel ranges for a 2,000 sq ft, 2-story gas home. Before-1960 ducted pricing is $17,400 to $37,800, and dual-fuel pricing is $14,000 to $30,600. For homes built from 1980 to 1999, ducted pricing is $15,100 to $27,900 and dual-fuel pricing is $12,100 to $22,500. A winter gas bill makes an online estimate more accurate, and the estimate takes about two minutes.
