Furnace Installation & Replacement in Dacono

Manufactured homes need a furnace listed for manufactured housing, usually a sealed-combustion downflow unit that draws combustion air from outside and connects to the floor duct. A standard residential furnace isn't a legal substitute. We match the new unit to the duct opening and roof jack and convert it for altitude. Since compliant manufactured-home furnaces are a smaller product category under the 2026 NOx rule, we confirm availability before scheduling.

If your home cools with an evaporative cooler and you're replacing the furnace, consider a heat pump instead of a furnace alone. It adds central cooling and provides most of your heat, and a gas furnace can stay as backup in a dual-fuel setup. Two incentives can help with the cost: the state's $1,000 credit for air-source heat pumps and a $1,500 Power Ahead Colorado rebate for cold-climate models. Our dual-fuel guide explains how it works.

At 5,112 feet, a gas furnace delivers about 80% of its sea-level input after high-altitude conversion with the right orifices and pressure. We size from a Manual J. Newer homes in Eagle Meadow and Sweetgrass are tighter than the 1970s stock and often need smaller furnaces than you'd guess.

Every gas furnace sold in the state since New Year's Day 2026 has had to hit the 14 ng/J NOx limit or qualify under the latest ENERGY STAR spec. In a home with a shared metal vent, an ultra-low NOx 80% furnace can stay on it. A 97% condensing furnace vents in PVC and needs a drain, and the water heater left on the old vent may need a liner or smaller connector.

The City of Dacono's Department of Community Development handles permits, with SAFEbuilt Colorado providing building department services. Replacing or installing heating, cooling or water-heating equipment requires a permit, and the city adopted the 2024 I-Codes effective December 17, 2025. We file and schedule the inspection.

A utility directory lists United Power for electricity and Atmos Energy or Black Hills Energy for natural gas in Dacono. Check your bill for your gas company. With United Power, Xcel's heat pump rebates don't apply, but the state credit and Power Ahead Colorado rebate do.
