Heat Pumps

Broomfield has partnered with Switch Together to offer residents a group-buy opportunity for high-efficiency electric heat pumps. If you want lower utility bills, improved home comfort and a more sustainable home, this program is a great option.

Bringing the “Switch Together Heat Pump Program” to Broomfield residents is just another step CCOB is taking to reduce community greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and meet the targets laid out in the GHG Emission Reduction Plan. The City and County of Broomfield is committed to helping residents save energy and reduce emissions. Partnering with Switch Together expands access to efficient heating and cooling systems and supports a cleaner and healthier community.

Registration will be live soon. 

Why Choose a Heat Pump: 

A heat pump is a modern heating and cooling system that uses electricity to move heat instead of generating heat by burning fuel. It keeps your home warm in winter and cool in summer.

Benefits include:

  • Year-round comfort with one system that heats in winter and cools in summer.
  • Lower energy bills thanks to high efficiency performance.
  • Cleaner indoor air because there is no combustion and no carbon monoxide risk.
  • Lower greenhouse gas emissions, especially when powered by cleaner electricity.

How Does Group Buy Work?: 

Switch Together organizes groups of homeowners to buy heat pumps together. By organizing a group purchase for heat pumps, Switch Together can get a better deal for everyone in the group. Visit Switch Together’s Installation Process web page for more information. The basics for the installation process are:

  1. Register your interest. Complete a short online survey (coming soon) on the Switch Together website. Registration is free and comes with no obligation.
  2. Installers compete. Switch Together works with qualified and vetted HVAC contractors who participate in a competitive bid process.
  3. Receive a personalized offer. You will get clear pricing, potential savings and installer information based on your home.
  4. Decide whether to move forward. You choose whether to accept the offer. There is no pressure to participate.
  5. Installation. If you accept the offer, the selected contractor will schedule a home visit and complete the installation. Your existing furnace or air conditioner may be removed or repurposed, depending on your home.

Why group buying works:

It combines the buying power of many households to secure better pricing and reduce the time spent researching contractors. After you register, Switch Together provides your personal estimate, including group-buy pricing and available rebates, so you can see your potential savings before making any decisions.

Cost and Incentives: 

Whole home heat pump systems typically cost between $17,000 and $30,000 before incentives or group buy savings. Many residents will pay less after tax credits, rebates and group pricing.

Heat pumps also reduce long-term costs by lowering your energy use and eliminating the need to maintain a separate furnace and air conditioner. Actual savings depend on your home size, insulation, current system and energy use.
