HVAC Installation in Golden, CO

Living in Golden means balancing the beauty of the North Table Mountain views with the reality of high-altitude mechanical stress. At Ascent HVAC and Home Solutions, we specialize in professional HVAC installations in Golden, CO, that are specifically tuned for the 5,675-foot elevation.

As Golden implements its 2026 Sustainability Plan, your home’s heating and cooling system must meet rigorous new standards. Whether you are building a new “Net Zero” home in Canyon View, retrofitting a classic property in Old Town Golden, or upgrading in Mesa View, we provide commercial-grade engineering to ensure your system is efficient, quiet, and fully compliant with the latest 2021 IECC and Golden-specific building codes.

We treat every Golden home like a high-performance facility, ensuring your mechanical footprint is as small as your comfort is large.

In 2026, Golden is a leader in electrification. We install Cold-Climate Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) that are specifically designed to fully heat and cool your home without fossil fuels, even in Colorado’s low winter temperatures.

• The Rebate Edge: These systems qualify for Golden’s $2,000 standard rebate (or up to $4,000 for low-income households).

For those opting for high-efficiency gas heat, we install the latest Ultra-Low NOx furnaces required by 2026 state mandates. We precision-tune every burner to account for reduced oxygen levels at the foothills, preventing the “short-cycling” and soot buildup common in unoptimized installations.

Ideal for Golden’s unique architecture and multi-level floor plans, mini-splits allow for “room-by-room” climate control. This eliminates the “hot upstairs/cold downstairs” issue often found in homes near the mesas.

A high-efficiency unit is only as good as the air delivery system. We provide custom ductwork audits and sealing to ensure your system meets the City of Golden’s rigorous leakage standards, preventing your expensive conditioned air from escaping into the attic.
