First-of-its-Kind Digital Workspace Launched for CO Heat Pump Installers
As part of Power Ahead Colorado, a program led by the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) to reduce the environmental impact of the region’s building sector, the Building Decarbonization Coalition (BDC) launched the Colorado Contractor Hub — a free, centralized, digital workspace designed to engage, educate and empower current and prospective heat pump contractors to grow their businesses.
The first such workspace created specifically for Colorado heat pump contractors, the Colorado Contractor Hub provides Colorado’s heat pump contracting community with the resources and services needed to overcome operational hurdles, generate new leads and accelerate the adoption of heat pumps.
The resource helps contractors grow their electrification and weatherization businesses with:
- Customer leads from Power Ahead Colorado;
- Trainings on best practices for heat pump installation, customer engagement and business development; an application to get reimbursed for training costs;
- Information for navigating heat pump incentive programs, aggregating available rebates and fulfilling government permitting requirements;
- A resource library with heat pump manufacturer training videos, program manuals and other valuable technical resources;
- A curated tools marketplace with third‑party tools that address common needs (e.g., permitting, design/sizing, rebates, etc.); and,
- An AI Assistant that provides contractors instant assistance on incentives, codes, licensing, permitting and program inquiries.
Additionally, the Colorado Contractor Hub provides contractors with the opportunity to participate in the free Small Business Scaling Program, a multi-day training that provides a comprehensive introduction to energy-efficient building electrification, with a focus on HVAC and water heating systems.
The Colorado Contractor Hub also enables homeowners and businesses to search for qualified contractors in their area, request consultations and source the expertise they need. To secure these leads, contractors use the Colorado Contractor Hub to develop detailed business profiles with logos, program badges, project galleries, service areas and offerings, and special business considerations.
The hub is open to any contractor working in the Power Ahead Colorado region who is interested in offering building electrification services, including HVAC, plumbing, weatherization and general construction services. Visit coloradocontractorhub.org.
