Mountain Climate Heating
Air source heat pumps sized for Golden's Rocky Mountain foothills climate—outdoor units rated for high altitude cold and snowy winters down to -15°F.
What We Do
Covering outdoor unit placement on reinforced pads, indoor fan coil setup, ductwork integration, and refrigerant line installation rated for mountain terrain.
Air Source Installation
Outdoor unit placement on reinforced pads with ductwork integration and altitude-rated refrigerant charge
Air Source Repair
Diagnosis and repair of air source malfunctions with component replacement and defrost cycle testing
Why Lakewood Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps fail in Golden when outdoor units aren't sized for high altitude cold or mounted securely on rocky foothills terrain—leading to poor heating performance and frequent defrost cycles.
Golden's elevation reduces air density, forcing standard units to work harder and deliver less heat below 20°F
Mountain terrain and rocky soil cause unstable pads that tilt outdoor units, damaging refrigerant lines
Heavy snowfall blocks airflow to outdoor coils, triggering constant defrost mode and cutting heating capacity
Cold-climate air source units maintain heating capacity down to -15°F with variable-speed compressors designed for altitude
Concrete pads poured 6 inches deep with rebar anchoring prevent shifting on rocky foothills terrain
Who We Help
Air source systems work for properties with existing ductwork and space for outdoor unit placement on stable terrain.
