Cost of an HVAC System Upgrade in Colorado (2025)

Upgrading for Comfort, Efficiency, and Savings

Upgrading your home’s heating and cooling system isn’t just about comfort—it’s about energy efficiency, incentives, and making a smart long-term investment.

In 2025, Colorado homeowners—especially around Longmont, Boulder, and Denver—have more opportunities than ever to save on a new HVAC system thanks to rebates, federal tax credits, and flexible financing options.

This guide from Blue Valley Heating, Cooling & Plumbing explains what to expect for the HVAC system upgrade cost in Colorado (2025), how to estimate your price range, and which programs can help you save thousands.

Typical Price Range in Colorado (2025)

HVAC prices vary based on your home’s size, layout, and current setup. Here’s what Colorado homeowners can expect for a complete system replacement this year:

  • Standard Furnace + AC Replacement: ~$9,500–$16,000 installed
  • (Efficiency, duct condition, and equipment size drive most of the variation.)
  • Cold-Climate Ducted Heat Pump (with electric backup or dual-fuel): ~$12,000–$22,000+ installed
  • (Ideal for energy-conscious homeowners who want heating and cooling in one system.)
  • Ductless Mini-Split (per outdoor unit with 1–3 indoor heads): ~$5,000–$14,000+
  • (Perfect for homes without ducts, additions, or zoned comfort.)

Real quotes depend on several factors, including:

  • Existing ductwork or electrical system
  • Home insulation and square footage
  • Equipment brand, efficiency tier, and features like smart thermostats or air quality add-ons

Incentives and Financing: What Colorado Homeowners Should Know in 2025

Upgrading your HVAC system in 2025 isn’t just about performance—it’s also about maximizing available savings through state, federal, and utility programs.

Here’s how to take advantage of the biggest opportunities available this year.

Colorado Heat Pump Tax Credit (HPTC)

Colorado’s Heat Pump Tax Credit provides an upfront contractor discount on qualifying systems. The key is working with a state-registered contractor, like Blue Valley Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, who can apply the discount directly at installation.

We’ll help determine whether your project qualifies and how much you can save on your final invoice.

Federal Tax Credits (Through December 31, 2025)

The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) allows homeowners to claim up to 30% of total costs, with caps of:

  • Up to $2,000 for heat pumps, and
  • Up to $3,200 total per year for eligible home upgrades.

These credits apply only to systems installed in 2025 and are set to expire after December 31, 2025, under current law.

Blue Valley can help you determine if your new system qualifies and guide you through claiming this federal tax benefit before the deadline.

Colorado Home Energy Rebates (IRA-Funded, 2025–2026)

Colorado will soon roll out additional Home Energy Rebates funded through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). These programs will begin with income-qualified households and expand statewide through a network of registered contractors.

As these rebates become available, Blue Valley Heating & Cooling will provide updates and help homeowners determine eligibility for additional savings.
