Is Electricity better than gas?YES, if you do it right! An all electric home that utilizes high efficiency heat pumps, rather than traditional electric resistance heat, (think electric baseboards) is better than gas. Electricity is the only form of energy that can be created without contributing to Global Warming through CO2 emissions. Electricity can be generated from many renewable sources, including solar panels on the roof of your home.
-
Are Heat Pumps Loud?Heat pumps outdoor units are incredible quiet. They are variable speed, so they spend the majority of the time running at low speed.
-
Do Heat Pumps work in cold weather?YES! Todays cold climate heat pumps work well in temperatures as low as -20° F These systems have been put to the test in the coldest winters, and performed better than expected. The majority of our heat pump systems do not have any backup heat, either electric resistance or gas.
-
What areas do you serve?We are based in Lyons CO. We serve clients in all of Boulder County and Southern Larimer county.

Why is an all-electric home better?Electric homes do not use fossil fuels in their day to day operation, and help reduce your carbon footprint, while improving the air quality and overall health of your home. Natural gas is the primary fuel for many home’s heating, hot water and cooking appliances. In addition to being a fossil fuel, natural gas appliances have the potential to leak dangerous carbon monoxide into a home.
-
Does an all-electric home cost more to operate?No. In the past this was true, but today we use high efficiency heat pumps to heat homes, which are 3 - 4x more efficient than conventional electric resistance heat. Most homeowners will see an overall reduction in their annual energy costs when they move to heat pumps for an all electric home.
-
What about Solar?Producing your own electricity with solar panels is a perfect companion to the all-electric home. Solar panels allow for long term cost savings AND a drastic reduction in CO2 output
