What quality heat pump installation in Boulder looks like

The right heat pump installation isn't about the lowest quote. It's about a system sized for Boulder's dry, hot summers and crisp, snowy winters, installed correctly, and qualified for every available rebate. Boulderโ€™s housing makes sizing matter more than brand. The 1950s and 60s ranches and split-levels in Table Mesa, Martin Acres, and Newlands often carry additions, finished basements, and sunrooms that throw off a rule-of-thumb estimate, and Chinook winds can swing outdoor temperatures 40 degrees in a single day. We calculate room-by-room loads from a scan of your actual house, so the system holds your set temperature through a snowy morning and a windy warm afternoon alike.

Why Boulder homeowners choose Zero Homes

Jeremy Abel

Got a heat pump water heater installed and new service panel. Between the app experience for the home evaluation and the coordination of the subcontractors, that was enough for 5 starsโ€ฆ but the quality of the subcontractors they work with should be a 6th star. Finding quality trade contractors in Denver is half the battle, and this an overlooked aspect of their services.

Moira Crow

The team is awesome to work with. Took a couple of months to get it done. We live in a remote area. And it took time for them to fine a company to come out here. They did not stop looking for a company to install are system. They got the job done!!!

Zero Homes came to the rescue when both our A/C and furnace quit in late July. Their quote was lower than the alternatives and for heat pump equipment with better cold weather performance specs. The process was so easy and they handled the Xcel rebate process for us, which then carried straight over to the rebate from our local municipality. Everyone on the Zero team is courteous, knowledgeable and easy to talk to! Hit the "easy" button and use Zero!

Zero Homes recently coordinated the installation of heat pumps in my condo and I couldn't be more satisfied! Their process made everything smooth from initial consultation to the final installation. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and consistently demonstrated their care in meeting my needs. They provided a clear design - the home electrification report was really informative - and the quote itself was cheaper than the other estimates I received. The installation itself was painless and efficient. Where they really shined, though, was in helping navigate the prolonged MassSave rebate process. If you're considering installing heat pumps or home electrification more broadly, I highly recommend Zero Homes for their exceptional service and expertise!
