Heat pumps for The Pinery homes
The Pinery has 3,995 homes, and 3,980 are occupied. Census figures show a housing stock of large, owner occupied homes. The median home has 10 rooms, compared with 7.3 in Douglas County and 5.7 across Colorado. Owner occupancy is 96.7%, above 77.8% in the county and 66.3% statewide.
Detached houses make up 96.4% of homes in The Pinery. That is well above Douglas County at 74.1%, Colorado at 61.8%, Parker at 69.5%, and Stonegate at 83.5%. Multi unit buildings make up 0% here, compared with 19.7% in Douglas County, 26.9% statewide, 25.8% in Parker, and 11.8% in Stonegate.
The median year built is 1995. Homes built from 1980 to 1999 account for 38.8% of local housing. Another 26.4% were built from 2000 to 2009. These are major groups for central ductwork, so existing ducts are an important part of choosing between a ducted heat pump and dual fuel.
The Pinery has 10.379 square miles of land and far more detached housing than its county or the state. Each home needs its own assessment. We measure the home, inspect the ducts, and check the electrical panel before installation.
How The Pinery homes heat today
Utility gas heats 81.4% of The Pinery homes. That exceeds Douglas County at 73.9%, Colorado at 66.7%, Parker at 75.9%, Stepping Stone at 70.4%, and Stonegate at 77.7%. Gas furnace replacement is the central heat pump choice for much of the town.
Electricity heats 14.5% of local homes. That is below Douglas County at 22.3% and Colorado at 25.2%. Propane heats 2.8%, close to Douglas County at 2.6%, but above Parker at 0.8% and Stonegate at 0%. Current heat determines which rebate path applies.
Franktown has the highest nearby gas heat share at 84.6%. Stepping Stone has the highest nearby electric heat share at 26.4% and propane share at 3.1%. The Pinery falls between these nearby patterns, yet its 81.4% gas share makes furnace connected systems especially relevant.
A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel, and it also cools the home. Homes using gas, electric heat, or propane each have a system choice. The house, the ducts, the panel, and the design load determine the final equipment choice.
Systems that fit The Pinery housing
A ducted heat pump fits a home with usable central ducts. It uses the existing duct system for heating and cooling. The Pinery's 96.4% detached house share is higher than Colorado's 61.8%, and its median build year is 1995. Those figures point to many homes where duct condition should be checked first.
Dual fuel fits a gas heated home that keeps its gas furnace for the coldest hours. The heat pump provides heat through much of the season, while the furnace remains available at the lowest temperatures. This matches The Pinery's 81.4% gas heat share, which is higher than Douglas County's 73.9%.
Ductless mini splits fit homes without ducts, additions, and condos. They use indoor units rather than central ductwork. The Pinery has 2.6% attached houses, 0% multi unit buildings, and 1% mobile homes. This is a smaller ductless share than ZIP code 80134, where multi unit buildings account for 20.3%.
For a 1,500 square foot ductless example, our estimate tool prices 3 indoor units. Each indoor unit serves about 500 sq ft in the estimate. The tool prices up to 5 indoor units before a custom quote, which gives additions and homes without ducts a clear starting point.
Sizing for The Pinery conditions
Sizing starts at an outdoor design temperature of 1°F and an indoor target of 70°F. Our estimate tool uses an elevation of 5,300 ft. At that elevation, an air source unit loses 18% of heat output. Equipment must meet the design load in deep cold, rather than be chosen from floor area alone.
For the example 2,000 square foot, 2 story home with a gas furnace, built from 1980 to 1999, the design load is 2.8 tons. The example requires a 30 A breaker. The 1980 to 1999 group is 38.8% of The Pinery homes, making this a useful local example.
A 2,000 square foot, 2 story gas home built before 1960 has a design load of 3.4 tons. The same type of home built from 1960 to 1979 needs 3.2 tons. A home built from 2000 to 2009 needs 2.4 tons, while a home built in 2010 or later needs 2.0 tons.
Only 1.5% of The Pinery homes were built before 1960, compared with 16.3% statewide. Homes built in 2010 or later account for 12.2% here, below Douglas County at 24.3% and ZIP code 80134 at 30.2%. Construction period changes the design load, so it changes the equipment size and price range.
Rebates and prices in The Pinery
Our estimate tool lists rebates based on the home's current heating fuel and selected system. Xcel Energy supplies gas here. A gas furnace, gas boiler, or propane home can qualify for the Xcel Energy rebate of $1,500 per ton of heating on any of the three system types.
A home now using electric heat can qualify for the Xcel Energy rebate of $750 per ton of heating. Every Colorado home qualifies for the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount of $1,000. Douglas County homes also qualify for the Power Ahead Colorado rebate of $1,500.
For the example gas heated home, a ducted heat pump costs $15,100 to $27,900 before rebates and $8,400 to $21,200 after rebates. The total rebate is $7,000, made up of 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, and the state discount comes off the invoice.
A dual fuel system for the same example costs $12,100 to $22,500 before rebates and $5,400 to $15,800 after rebates. Its total rebate is $7,000. For the 1,500 square foot ductless example with electric heat, the price is $11,800 to $19,200 before rebates and $7,800 to $15,200 after rebates. The ductless rebate total is $4,700.
