Gas to Heat Pump Guide

About Gas to Heat Pump

Who runs this site, who does the work, and where the numbers come from.

Gas to Heat Pump is for Denver-area homeowners with a gas furnace who are thinking about a heat pump.

How requests work

When you send photos or schedule a visit, your request goes to the Denver heating and cooling contractor that does our estimates and installs. Every photo on this site is from one of their installs.

The winter numbers

The winter chart uses hourly temperature records from NOAA at Denver International Airport, averaged over the ten October-to-April heating seasons from the 2015-16 season through the 2024-25 season.

The prices

Prices are typical ranges from our recent estimates in the Denver area, before rebates. Half of those estimates fall inside each range, a quarter below it and a quarter above it. The ranges for a heat pump with a new gas furnace and for a ducted heat pump follow our current pricing instead. Out-of-pocket figures are what most Xcel gas customers in the Denver metro have paid since October 1, 2026, after every rebate. We leave out income-qualified jobs with very large rebates, and we don't show a range when only a handful of jobs sit behind it.

Rebates change, sometimes mid-year. Xcel lowered its heat pump bonus for Xcel gas customers on October 1, 2026, so check the current rebate amounts.
