This Longmont homeowner was ready for an upgrade - and they walked away with $7,500 in instant rebates to make it happen. That's not a typo. Programs exist right now that make high-efficiency heating and cooling systems a lot more accessible than most people realize, and this job is a perfect example of what that looks like in practice.
We installed a Bryant high-efficiency furnace paired with a Carrier heat pump. That combination gives the homeowner two things: reliable gas heat when temps really drop, and efficient electric heating and cooling for the milder days. The heat pump handles both heating and air conditioning, so this home is covered year-round.
The furnace installation went into the basement utility space, fully connected to the existing ductwork with clean PVC flue venting routed out through the wall. The Carrier outdoor unit is mounted on a solid pad outside, leveled and set for long-term performance. Everything is clean, secure, and done right.
What makes a dual-fuel setup like this so practical is the efficiency side of the equation. Heat pumps move heat rather than generate it, which means they use significantly less energy than a furnace running full time. You get the comfort of gas heat when you need it and the efficiency of a heat pump the rest of the time. Lower utility bills every month add up fast.
Rebates this size don't last forever, and a lot of homeowners don't know they qualify until someone walks them through it. If your current system is aging or your energy bills are higher than they should be, it's worth having a conversation about what an upgrade could look like for your home.
