Boulder systems at replacement time
Many Boulder owners repairing an older furnace also want to understand their electrification path, so we lay out the repair and the long-term option side by side. Custom homes and major remodels in Boulder increasingly go all-electric, pairing cold-climate heat pumps with radiant floors and balanced ventilation.
Strict local energy codes shape every new building in Boulder, which pushes projects toward high-efficiency heat pumps, VRF and dedicated outdoor air. Older properties nearby are reaching the point where original equipment is failing one unit at a time, which is the most expensive way to replace it.

What we plan for in Boulder
- Rental properties in the city have been subject to SmartRegs energy efficiency requirements for rental housing.
- Historic homes in areas like Mapleton Hill may have boilers, limited duct space and preservation considerations.
- City and county programs have offered support for heat pumps and efficiency upgrades. Offerings change, so we check what is current.
Altitude is a design input here. At about 5,400 feet, thinner air reduces combustion and air-side capacity, and we correct equipment selection and gas setup for it on every Boulder project.
