Experienced Central & Mini-Split Heat Pumps in Highlands Ranch
Heat pumps continue to grow in popularity in Highlands Ranch, CO and surrounding communities for their efficiency and effectiveness in providing whole-home or single area heating and cooling. With both central and ductless mini-split models available, the versatility of heat pump systems make them a product well worth considering for many of our customers.
The Advantage of Heat Pumps
An air-source heat pump performs the exact same cooling job you’d expect from a conventional AC system, with the big difference is that in the wintertime, a heat pump also has the ability to work in reverse and provide heating, as well. Heat pumps are powered by electricity, so they don’t use fossils such as natural gas or propane, making them a cleaner, ‘greener’ efficient heating option for your home in Highlands Ranch. On the cooling side of things, today’s heat pumps are highly efficient and are a great potential option to conventional AC.
A central heat pump, while not sufficient in our area as a primary heating system, is often installed in tandem a gas forced air furnace in what is referred to as a ‘dual fuel heating system.’ Highlands Ranch homeowners considering having a new central air conditioner installed or replacing an older central AC system are urged to learn more about a dual fuel system with a central heat pump as a great alternative to a conventional air conditioner. There’s lots of benefits to consider, including extending the life of your furnace.
Ductless mini-split heat pumps, also known as mini-split heat pumps, are used to provide independent heating and cooling for specific rooms and areas in the home. The many benefits afforded by ductless heat pump systems include the ability to provide personalized, zoned comfort to different rooms in your home, either supplementing or replacing an existing central system.

Multi-Zone Systems in Highlands Ranch
Multi-zone ductless systems feature a single outdoor condensing unit that, depending on the model, can power as many as six indoor blower units, keeping outdoor noise levels and your system’s physical footprint well contained and to a minimum. A variety of indoor blower models are available, with the most popular style being the wall-mounted option, often installed unobtrusively high on a wall, up and out of the way. Other indoor blower options include ceiling-cassette blowers, duct-able units that can be tucked away out of sight, and floor mounted consoles. The system is controlled by a handheld, remote control thermostat which can also be installed on a wall like a conventional thermostat.
Whole-Home Heating and Cooling with Ductless Heat Pumps
Renewable energy sources like wind and solar for generating electricity continue to be a focus for our Denver-Boulder regional utilities, and the trend of moving away from fossil fuel dependency is now shared by more and more homeowners in the area. A whole-home conversion of an old, outdated, and inefficient gas or electric heating system to ductless heat pumps is one way Highlands Ranch homes can join in reducing their dependency on fossil fuels and reduce the size of their home’ carbon footprint. With zoning capability, efficient performance, and responsive, effective heating and cooling, the environmentally friendly aspect of ductless systems is an important consideration when upgrading your home comfort system.

High Quality Central Heat Pumps in Highlands Ranch
Are you considering replacing an older central air conditioner or having a new central AC system installed? In homes where the furnace and ducting system are performing to satisfactory levels, a central heat pump can be a great alternative to a conventional central air conditioner.
Performing the exact same cooling function as a traditional air conditioner during the summer, a central heat pump has the added bonus of also helping to heat your home during the winter. During relatively mild winter weather, a professionally installed and correctly sized central pump can handle most or all of the heating you’d otherwise depend on your furnace for in your Highlands Ranch home. Sharing the heating load in what is known as a ‘dual fuel heating system,’ this means less stress on your furnace, helping to extend its lifespan, while the central heat pump provides and efficient and ‘greener’ alternative to the gas-burning furnace.
Central Dual Fuel Heating Systems
In our area, a central heat pump is normally installed in tandem with a central forced air gas furnace in a dual fuel heating and cooling system. The term ‘dual fuel’ refers to the two fuel sources being utilized to create heat, the central heat pump using electricity and natural gas or propane powering the furnace. During the heating season, the central heat pump will handle the initial heating job until demand exceeds its output, and then the job automatically, smoothly transitions over to the furnace. By sharing the heating work, both systems benefit from reduced wear and tear, and you benefit from higher efficiency and a smaller carbon footprint when compared to using only a central gas furnace. On the cooling side, central heat pumps also offer state-of-the-art AC performance.
The advantages of a central dual fuel heating and cooling system include:
- Greener heating and cooling option than a standard furnace and AC system
- Reduced gas consumption
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Improved system efficiency
- Decreased load and increased lifespan for your furnace
- Two sources of heat instead of just one (a built-in backup system)
- State-of-the-art comfort levels, all year-round
At Save Home Heat Company, our team feels that the ideal high efficiency central dual fuel heating and cooling system is a combination of a variable-output furnace and a variable-output central heat pump. Other quality heat pump options include high efficiency two-stage and single-stage models.
When considering having a variable-output or two-stage system installed, we recommend having a highly experienced expert assess your current system.
