Denver / Elizabeth
Elizabeth has 2,244 residents (give or take 33) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0823740, checked 2026-10-19), about 1,050 people per square mile.
Elizabeth is about 31 miles from the Census center point for Denver in a straight line and covers 2.137 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 796 occupied homes in Elizabeth, 83% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 15% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0823740, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 83% of Elizabeth against electricity at 15%, 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.
Elizabeth has about the Elbert County oil share of 0% and 5 points more electric heat than the county's 10% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US08039, checked 2026-10-19).
Elizabeth has 812 housing units, 9% built before 1940 and 27% before 1980, with 49% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0823740, checked 2026-10-19).
Elizabeth has 4 points more pre-1940 homes than Elbert County as a whole (5%) and 10 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 39% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US08039, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
The median Elizabeth home was built in 1999 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0823740, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0823740, checked 2026-10-19).
94% of Elizabeth homes are single-family detached, 1% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 0% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0823740, checked 2026-10-19).
With 94% detached houses and 1% in small multi-family buildings, a Elizabeth quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 6% of Elizabeth homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0823740, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Only 6% of Elizabeth homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0823740, checked 2026-10-19), so nearly every quote here is the resident talking to the installer directly, and the rebate goes to the person living in the house.
49% of Elizabeth housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0823740, 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 Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth address before counting it. With 15% of Elizabeth homes already on electric heat and 84% 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 Elizabeth is $112,986 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0823740, 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: 1F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Elbert County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 14 to 16 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.
That 1F figure is the Elbert County cold-day number a Elizabeth heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 1F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 83% of Elizabeth on gas and 15% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Elizabeth home has 6 rooms and was built around 1999, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
