Denver / Severance
Severance has 10,130 residents (give or take 25) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0869150, checked 2026-10-19), about 786 people per square mile.
Severance is about 51 miles from the Census center point for Denver in a straight line and covers 12.892 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).
The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Severance that is 80546 (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 3,373 occupied homes in Severance, 85% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 12% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0869150, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 85% of Severance against electricity at 12%, 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.
Severance has about the Weld County oil share of 0% and 6 points less electric heat than the county's 18% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US08123, checked 2026-10-19).
Severance has 3,426 housing units, 2% built before 1940 and 3% before 1980, with 94% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0869150, checked 2026-10-19).
Severance has 5 points fewer pre-1940 homes than Weld County as a whole (7%) and 42 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 52% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US08123, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Severance home was built in 2014 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0869150, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 7.1 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0869150, checked 2026-10-19).
97% of Severance homes are single-family detached, 0% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 1% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0869150, checked 2026-10-19).
With 97% detached houses and 0% in small multi-family buildings, a Severance quote is usually one or two outdoor units with ducted or ductless heads sized room by room. With 8% of Severance homes rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0869150, checked 2026-10-19), the landlord signs the quote in many of them.
Severance has 24 points more detached houses than Weld County overall (73%) and 10 points fewer five-plus-unit buildings than the county's 11% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US08123, checked 2026-10-19).
Only 8% of Severance homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0869150, 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.
94% of Severance housing was built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0869150, 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 Severance 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 Severance address before counting it. With 12% of Severance homes already on electric heat and 86% 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 Severance is $124,572 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0869150, 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.

That 0F figure is the Weld County cold-day number a Severance heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 0F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 85% of Severance on gas and 12% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Severance home has 7.1 rooms and was built around 2014, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
