Geothermal Heating & Cooling
Geothermal systems harness stable underground temperatures to heat and cool homes efficiently. Ideal for Colorado's climate, they reduce energy bills by up to 70% while eliminating outdoor mechanical equipment noise. As Colorado's leading geothermal experts, we design systems tailored to home size and layout, qualifying for 30% federal tax credits through 2025. Our installations integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, offering quiet, reliable performance for decades.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air-source heat pumps transfer heat between homes and outdoor air, achieving 350% efficiency compared to traditional systems. Perfect for Denver's moderate winters, these systems work with solar panels to cut energy costs by 50% or more. We optimize placements for maximum airflow and provide maintenance to ensure long-term efficiency, leveraging Xcel Energy rebates to reduce upfront costs for homeowners.
Furnace Installation
Modern furnaces offer improved efficiency and comfort for Colorado homes. We install high-efficiency models that lower utility bills while ensuring optimal indoor air quality. Our technicians analyze home dimensions and insulation levels to recommend right-sized units, with virtual estimates available for convenience. Annual maintenance packages extend system lifespan and maintain manufacturer warranties.
Boiler Repair
Boilers deliver consistent warmth through radiant heat systems or radiators. Our specialists diagnose and repair all boiler types, from older models to modern condensing units. We emphasize preventive maintenance to prevent leaks and pressure issues, ensuring safe operation through extreme winters. Emergency services restore heat quickly for homes dependent on boiler systems.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
Heat pump water heaters transfer ambient heat to water, achieving four times the efficiency of standard electric models. We recommend these units for homes transitioning off fossil fuels, particularly when paired with solar power. Our installations qualify for utility rebates, and we provide regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance year-round in Denver's dry climate.

They installed a Hometronic heating system in 2008 for me. Extremely satisfied with it and with Sensible Heat, and with the occasional bits of assistance and support I have needed on what is now an ageing system. I will happily use them for the planned upgrade. Services: Heating system installation, Heating system repair

Finally! A Company with competent people who really do understand geothermal heating systems, solar heating and how to integrate it with existing furnaces! We had a system installed by another company that never worked right.

I was referred to Sensible from a friend. They helped us replace an old furnace and install new A/C in an old 1930's home. Did great work, very responsive, super fast and incredibly friendly. Would recommend and use again and again.

Dan and his team saved us today. Steam heat was completely off. They quickly found and fixed the problem. The work was effective. The price was reasonable. As I watch the snow, am grateful for Dan's great work to give us heat again.

Competitive pricing and wonderful, fast service. Would strongly recommend Dan and Sensible Heating and Cooling for high efficiency Furnace and AC installs. I spent a few months shopping around for a new Furnace & AC and was set to go with another vendor for a very small pricing advantage due to manufacturers rebates on the equipment.

When my regular plumber left me hanging on an evaporative cooler install I found Sensible Heating and Cooling and am glad I did. Dan and Aaron came out and did the estimate. Dan answered all my questions even when I started comparing a cheaper model.
