The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Commerce City that is 80022, 80640 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 22,415 occupied homes in Commerce City, 75% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 22% with electricity and 2% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0816495, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 75% of Commerce City against electricity at 22%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Commerce City has about the Adams County oil share of 0% and 5 points less electric heat than the county's 27% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US08001, checked 2026-10-19).
Commerce City has 23,169 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 24% before 1980, with 69% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0816495, checked 2026-10-19).
Commerce City has 32 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 37% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US08001, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Commerce City home was built in 2005 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0816495, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6.2 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0816495, checked 2026-10-19).
79% of Commerce City homes are single-family detached, 2% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 7% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0816495, checked 2026-10-19).
With 79% detached houses and 2% in small multi-family buildings, a Commerce City quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 23% of Commerce City homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0816495, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Commerce City has 17 points more detached houses than Adams County overall (62%) and 13 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US08001, checked 2026-10-19).
69% of Commerce City housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0816495, checked 2026-10-19), and homes that recent usually meet the insulation codes in place at the time, so a heat pump sized to the floor plan lands closer to the real load than it would in an older neighborhood.
No electric utility is on file for Commerce City on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.
Colorado Heat Pump Tax Credit (HPTC), run by Colorado Energy Office, is a live program for Colorado addresses and lists a standard figure of $1,000 (registry row 4 verified 2026-10-15, https://energyoffice.colorado.gov/hptc, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Commerce City address before counting it. With 22% of Commerce City homes already on electric heat and 77% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.
Median household income in Commerce City is $111,972 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0816495, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.
Heating design temperature: 3F.

That 3F figure is the Adams County cold-day number a Commerce City heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 3F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 75% of Commerce City on gas and 22% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Commerce City home has 6.2 rooms and was built around 2005, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
