Todd Creek homes favor central heat pump systems
Census figures count 1,732 homes in Todd Creek, with 1,720 occupied. Detached houses make up 99.4% of homes, while multi-unit buildings make up 0%. That differs sharply from Adams County, where detached houses are 62.6% and multi-unit buildings are 22.9%. Most Todd Creek projects start with a house, its existing equipment, and its duct layout.
Todd Creek homes have a median build year of 2006 and a median of 10 rooms. Adams County homes have a median build year of 1990 and 5.8 rooms. Homes built from 2000 to 2009 account for 53.8% of Todd Creek housing, and homes built 2010 or later account for 26.4%. These newer, larger houses tend to have central ducts worth checking for a ducted heat pump.
Todd Creek has 99.2% owner occupancy, compared with 68.9% in Adams County and 66.3% across Colorado. The town also has 2.8% of homes built before 1960, compared with 13.5% in the county. That smaller older-home share means fewer homes start with the small ducts or missing ducts common in older housing.
Todd Creek differs from nearby towns
Todd Creek has 89.9% utility gas heat. That exceeds Brighton at 76.2%, Thornton at 69.7%, Dacono at 79.7%, and Northglenn at 67.2%. Gas furnaces are the starting point for most local heat pump decisions, including choices between a full ducted replacement and dual fuel.
Electric heat serves 7.1% of Todd Creek homes. Nearby towns have higher electric heat shares: Brighton has 21.6%, Thornton has 27.6%, Dacono has 17.4%, and Northglenn has 29.3%. Todd Creek homeowners therefore tend to have a furnace and ducts already in place, rather than electric resistance equipment that needs a different plan.
Todd Creek's 99.4% detached-house share is higher than Brighton's 70.8%, Thornton's 62.4%, Dacono's 74.3%, and Northglenn's 59.6%. Nearby multi-unit shares range from Dacono's 3.7% to Northglenn's 31.1%, versus 0% in Todd Creek. Ductless equipment fits condos and additions well, but Todd Creek's housing stock points most directly toward equipment sized for a detached home.
Ducted, dual fuel, and ductless choices in Todd Creek
A ducted heat pump fits a Todd Creek house with usable central ducts. It moves heat instead of burning fuel, and it also cools. Since 89.9% of homes use utility gas and 99.4% are detached houses, a ducted replacement is a direct fit for much of the town's existing housing.
Dual fuel keeps a gas furnace for the coldest hours and uses a heat pump for heating and cooling at other times. It fits a home with a working furnace and ducts, especially where an owner wants to retain gas backup. The 2006 median build year and 53.8% share built from 2000 to 2009 make duct and furnace checks important before selecting this option.
Ductless units suit homes without ducts, additions, and condos. They also fit the 0.6% of Todd Creek homes classified as mobile homes, though each home needs its own assessment. A 1,500 square foot ductless example uses 3 indoor units in our estimate tool. Our estimate places about 500 sq ft on each indoor unit.
Sizing heat pumps for Todd Creek conditions
We size air-source equipment to 1°F outdoors and 70°F indoors. Our sizing 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. A system needs enough delivered capacity for these conditions, not a rule based only on floor area.
For the example 2,000 square foot, 2-story, gas-heated home built from 2000 to 2009, our estimate tool calculates a design load of 2.4 tons. It also identifies a 30 A breaker. We measure the home, inspect ducts, and check the electrical panel before installation, because house details determine the final equipment selection.
Build era changes the load. The same example type built before 1960 has a design load of 3.4 tons, while one built from 1960 to 1979 has 3.2 tons. A home built from 1980 to 1999 has 2.8 tons, and one built 2010 or later has 2.0 tons. Todd Creek has only 2.8% pre-1960 homes but 26.4% built 2010 or later, so its likely sizing pattern differs from older Adams County housing.
Example heat pump prices in Todd Creek
For the example 2,000 square foot, 2-story gas home built from 2000 to 2009, a ducted heat pump costs $12,800 to $24,600 before rebates. The estimated price after rebates is $6,700 to $18,500. This matches Todd Creek's largest build group, which represents 53.8% of homes.
For that same example home, a dual-fuel system costs $10,200 to $19,800 before rebates and $4,100 to $13,700 after rebates. Dual fuel retains the gas furnace for the coldest hours. It is relevant to Todd Creek because utility gas heats 89.9% of homes.
For the 1,500 square foot ductless example, 3 indoor units cost $11,800 to $19,200 before rebates and $8,000 to $15,400 after rebates. Most installations take one day. Jobs with several ductless units can take 2 or 3 days. Brands we install include Mitsubishi, Bosch, Daikin, Carrier, and Trane.
Todd Creek heat pump rebates
Our estimate tool shows a gas-heated home with a 3-ton ducted heat pump receiving $7,000 in total rebates. The included programs are the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). Todd Creek's 89.9% utility gas share means this is the rebate path that applies to most local homes that meet the program rules.
A home now using electric heat has a 3-ton ducted total of $4,700. Its 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 gas-heated total is higher because the Xcel Energy rebate differs between homes now on gas or propane and homes now on electric heat.
The State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount applies to every Colorado home on each of the 3 system types, and it comes off the invoice. The Power Ahead Colorado rebate applies to homes in Adams County on each system type. We file every rebate for the homeowner. The federal 25C credit ended for systems installed after 2025-12-31.
