HVAC Installation in Colorado Springs

Installing a heating and cooling system in Colorado Springs isn’t the same as doing it at sea level. At 6,035 feet, your equipment faces lower air density and reduced oxygen levels, which can sap up to 15% of a standard system’s capacity. At Ascent HVAC and Home Solutions, we specialize in high-altitude HVAC installations in Colorado Springs, ensuring your system is engineered for the unique physics of the Front Range.

Whether you are in a classic home in the Old North End, a sprawling estate in Broadmoor, or a new build in Banning Lewis Ranch, we bring commercial-grade precision to your residential project. Our 2026 installation protocols are designed to meet the newest Colorado environmental mandates while maximizing your year-round comfort.

As of January 1, 2026, Colorado House Bill 23-1161 has fundamentally changed how we select equipment. All newly manufactured gas-fired furnaces installed in Colorado Springs must now meet strict Ultra-Low NOx (ULN) emission limits.

We specialize in the new generation of Ultra-Low NOx furnaces and Energy Star certified equipment. These systems aren’t just cleaner for the Springs’ air; they are significantly more efficient. While these units have a higher manufacturing cost, our team helps you offset the investment by navigating the Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) rebate programs, which offer substantial incentives for high-efficiency equipment.

With the 2026 push toward electrification, many Colorado Springs homeowners are switching to Cold-Climate Heat Pumps. These systems are designed to provide effective heating even when temperatures drop toward zero near the mountains. By installing a heat pump, you can qualify for CSU rebates and federal tax credits while eliminating the need for a traditional gas furnace.

We handle the entire permitting process through PPRBD. Every installation we perform is code-compliant, ensuring your homeowner’s insurance and property value are protected. We manage the inspections so you can focus on enjoying your new, high-efficiency climate control.

Colorado Springs is a city of microclimates—the weather in Rockrimmon can be vastly different from Falcon. Our installations take these local variables into account.

• Variable-Speed Technology: Essential for handling the 40-degree temperature swings common in the Springs. These systems ramp up and down slowly, preventing the “blast of air” feel and reducing wear on the compressor.

• High-Static Pressure Duct Design: Because the air is thinner, your fans have to work harder. We ensure your ductwork is optimized to move air efficiently without burning out your blower motor.

• Whole-Home Humidification: Colorado Springs air is notoriously dry, often dropping below 20% humidity in the winter. We integrate industrial-strength humidifiers into your new install to protect your health and your home’s woodwork.
