Solar Thermal

Service, installation, and maintenance for every kind of solar thermal system — old or new.

We have been servicing, installing, and maintaining all available forms of solar thermal systems for over 22 years. Whether it's an old rock-storage system, air panels, thermal water storage, or molten salt, we handle them all. No two projects are the same — each one should be tailored to your energy needs. Give us a call and let's get to work.

Solar PV

Grid-tied and battery solar electric systems, tailored to your energy and economic goals.

Twenty years ago we wired our first PV system — an old Trace Engineering inverter selling power back to the grid, with a Tri-metric meter watching the batteries. The PV world has come a long way since. A new generation of products and ideas now lets us tailor each system to a client's energy and economic needs, with monitoring and production paramount in every design. Let us work for you.

Boiler Heat

High-efficiency hydronic boilers that cut operating costs by 25–75% over older systems.

Boiler and heating technology has truly blossomed over the last 10–20 years. High-efficiency boilers with outdoor reset, primary/secondary piping, variable-speed pumps, and smarter piping have ushered in a renaissance for hydronic heat. We can now deliver the same comfort you had 20–30 years ago at a fraction of the cost — depending on the system, a 25–75% savings in operating cost is a reality. Take advantage of the latest technology and give us a call.

Snowmelt

Automatic heated driveways and walkways that clear themselves — no shoveling, no ice.

Many driveways and walkways sit on the north side of the house, and everyone's situation is different. When you need a fast, effortless way to keep a drive or walk clear, our snowmelt systems do exactly that. A few sensors and modern controls detect when it's snowing and turn on automatically to keep the surface free of ice and snow — some controls even pull the weather forecast off the internet and preheat ahead of a storm. We've installed systems all over the Denver area and are ready for your next project.

Heat Pumps

Efficient air-source heating, cooling, and water heating — including cold-climate mini splits.

Heat pumps have changed the world. They move heat by cycling a refrigerant between gas and liquid — absorbing or releasing heat to give you both heating and cooling, or in a water heater, constant hot water. The refrigerant is nearly maintenance-free and the heat comes from the surrounding air, not a gas flame or electric element. Advancements in refrigerants and condensers now let many heat pumps pull heat from air down to 0°F. Mini-split heat pumps are an elegant way to add heating or cooling to part of your home without the cost of ducting and a furnace. We want you to be comfortable — give us a call.
