What are the different types of heat pumps?
Air Source Heat Pump
These heat pump systems are best for converting your conventional heating system to a high-performance heat pump system whether you choose to go all-electric or use a hybrid approach by keeping your gas furnace as backup.
Mini-Split Heat Pumps
These units offer great retrofit or add-on options for homes, additions, or basements. These units have an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air unit. Mini-splits are ductless options for your home.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
These heat pumps take advantage of the consistent warmth of the earth to get the highest efficiency out of heat pump technology. Also called geothermal heat pumps, these heat pumps use the existing ductwork in your home.

Top Questions About Heat Pump Installations
How do heat pumps work?
Heat pumps run off electricity and use a refrigerant cycle to transfer heat from different areas. During the summer, the heat pump absorbs heat from inside the home and transfers it to the air outside, just like a traditional air conditioner. In the winter, the cycle is reversed, and heat energy is extracted from the outside air (yes, even when it’s cold out, heat pumps can still extract heat). These cycles are all controlled by the pressure of the refrigerant in the system.What to do first? Install a heat pump or go solar?
It depends! (Ugh. We know that’s the most annoying answer.) But really, it depends on your current usage and how much your usage would increase when installing a heat pump. With many Colorado utilities you can now offset up to 200% of your last 12 months of usage. That means you are able to future proof your home by installing a larger solar system than you currently need – to some degree. We’ll take a look at your current usage and electrification goals to help you develop a “solar plus” plan that is right for your home.Do heat pumps work in cold climates?
Yes! In fact, the four countries in Europe with the highest number of heat pump installations per 1,000 households in 2022 were Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Estonia. These countries also have some of the coldest winters in Europe. That being said, you do need to install the correct heat pump and install it properly to enjoy comfortable temps inside when the outside temps drop below freezing.Solar & Home Electrification
