If you’re around Boulder, but not in the City of Boulder itself, you’ll get this one. If you’re in both the City and County of Boulder, you’ll get both!

Things to know about Heat pump water heaters

a few Installation Requirements

While the new and highly efficient heat pump water heaters install largely the same as your existing tank unit, there are a few things to check on before any small surprises: 

  • These units have a condensate drain, and will need to drain into your existing utility room drain, or we can easily install a condensate pump.
  • HPWH’s need some breathing room. Since they take heat from the surrounding ambient air, the air in the room needs to circulate. You typically need a room that’s 5×5 sq ft or more. And louvered doors can really help too.
  • These units make a low humming noise, typical to your existing A/C or furnace in the utility room. They are not totally silent.
  • You will most likely need a new electrical circuit run to power the unit if you have a natural gas tank heater. We’ve got you covered!

We’re doing HVAC differently, and our customers benefit.

“Recently, I had the privilege of engaging Xerxes for residential HVAC consultation, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Not only did he showcase his deep expertise in assessing our home’s unique needs, but Xerxes also exhibited remarkable thoughtfulness in highlighting potential savings and available tax credits. His commitment didn’t just stop at providing the best HVAC solution; he went the extra mile to ensure that we benefited financially in the long run. It was evident that Xerxes cared deeply about offering value beyond just system efficiency. With his guidance, our home is not only a haven of comfort but also a testament to wise investment and sustainability. For anyone considering a residential HVAC overhaul, Xerxes is the name to trust. He brings the perfect blend of technical know-how and financial foresight to the table. Highly recommended!.”

The annual maintenance program continues Just Heat Pumps philosophy that they want your system running right. If not it reflects on them. Justin was great, polite, calm, friendly, and informative regardless of how many questions I asked. Also not indication at all that I should be spending more or need something or else. No upselling in sight. I have recommend these guys to several neighbors and will continue to spread the word when I can.

Every single person I talked to at JHP listened to me and thoughtfully and thoroughly answered every question and concern I had, especially Tom (sales), Ryan and Ben (installation), Xerxes (head honcho), and Kevin and Tino who poured the concrete slab AND went above and beyond to remove an old unit from my crawl space that I couldn’t figure out how to do on my own. The professionalism exhibited by every member of the team could not have been higher, but the most enduring impression was everyone’s pride in their work and how much they obviously enjoyed being a member of the JHP team. It’s too soon to say how the system they installed will perform, but I have every confidence that should any issues arise, they will be addressed with the same level of care and expertise shown during the installation. A rare and exceptional group of people who take pride in their work while treating you with common human decency. A memorably positive experience all the way around.

Our experience with Just Heat Pumps was outstanding. Xerses and Erin, other JHP staff, and their contractors for installation and electrical work were very skilled, professional, and conscientious. It’s just over a year that JHP installed mini split wall and ceiling units in our home. During one of the hottest summers in Colorado history, we stayed super cool. We used the heat feature as a supplement to our hot water heat system in the winter and the house was uniformly warm and comfortable. We also had our annual service inspection, and the system was thoroughly checked and cleaned. Before we chose JHP, we met with several companies to find they were pretty good sales people, but short on technical knowledge and unable to solve a few workarounds that we needed. We chose JHP because they had the tools to right size our units, make helpful suggestions, and genuinely knew the pros and cons of various options. We have been so pleased with Just Heat Pumps and would not hesitate to highly recommend this awesome company.

We got our annual tune up on the system. Everything is in good shape. Kevin was our service technician and he was terrific! He was polite, courteous and friendly. He answered my questions and explained why the fan periodically activates when the system is "Off". This is a great local company with great design and service. They have my wholehearted recommendation for their products and services. Thank you Xerxes, Erin and Kevin - you do a great job.

Just Heat Pumps replaced our furnace with a heat pump and was fantastic to work with through the entire process! They were prompt, professional, transparent, and friendly. Xerxes takes a data driven approach to specifying the best system. The installation team even asked if we wanted to write anything in the concrete pad they poured for mounting the condenser, which our daughters loved!

Working with Just Heat Pumps LLC was a 5-star experience all around. Their depth of knowledge on modern heat pump systems, efficiency ratings, and local Denver incentives set them completely apart from traditional HVAC outfits. The installation was handled on schedule with meticulous attention to detail and clean workmanship. Our home stays perfectly comfortable, and the system is remarkably efficient and quiet. Highly recommend them to anyone making the switch to an all-electric heat pump setup!
