Jan repaired our computer that runs our solar power. She was fast professional and knew what she was doing. I give her 5 stars
Independent Power finished the installation of our cold-climate heat pump on January 6, just about a week before the super cold, sub-zero temperatures hit. We knew it was going to be the first big test of the system, and I'm happy to say that it came through with flying colors! Our house stayed nice and toasty throughout the cold snap. We still have a gas furnace for part of the house, but we didn't even think of firing it up because we never needed it. Really impressed with the system's performance over the cold snap and in its first month of operation!Now a few words about the Company itself. My understanding is that IPS hasn't been doing heat pump installations all that long, but that they hired people with lots of previous heat pump installation experience. It sure seemed that way to me--the crew that installed our system, which was fairly complex, was really professional, highly skilled, and very responsive to my questions and requests. I gotta say, I was impressed with how quickly and efficiently the team worked.As I mentioned, our system is rather complex: part of it (our lower level and upper level) uses existing ductwork, and the other part (living room, kitchen, dining room) uses wall units. Based on my request, they installed the refrigerant lines in such a way that they are completely hidden. Originally the estimator had specified a route for the lines that would have had a lot of the lines outside the house and also would have required them to punch holes in the ceiling every few feet (which we would then need to repair at added cost). They accommodated my request for the alternate route, which made for a more difficult installation, but a much cleaner one.Another thing I'll mention is that the crew was very careful about cleaning up after themselves at the end of every day. They were all very polite and answered a lot of questions that I and my wife had. Definitely high marks for customer support!We needed an electrical upgrade to handle the extra power draw of the heat pump. The electrician came out in advance of the install to scope out the existing panel and plan the work. He told me exactly where he was going to run the lines and the new grounding system that we needed. His work was very clean and exactly as specified. Extra added bonus: now every breaker has a label describing the circuit that it serves! Plus, we now have a lot of extra capacity for any new loads in the future.I will say that there is a small learning curve with heat pumps. The working fluid doesn't get nearly as hot as a gas flame, so the system uses a slower fan speed and less air flow than a gas furnace. That means that it takes these systems longer to come up to a set point than a conventional furnace. So if you use a nighttime setback temperature, you probably don't want to let it drop as far as you did with your furnace because it will take longer to come back up to your desired temp in the morning. Even so, we've found that we can use a nighttime temp of 62 and unless it's brutally cold outside, the house is usually back up to 70 by the time we come downstairs around 7 am. Also, the user guide that comes with the Mitsubishi wall units leaves a lot to be desired. It can take a while to understand how to control the wall units so they perform the way you want, but we got the hang of it in a couple weeks.All in all, I'm a very satisfied customer and would strongly recommend IPS for your heat pump installation!
Response from the owner: Wow, Dan! We are so grateful for this 5-star review. Your level of detailed explanation on how the install went and the performance of your Mitsubishi heat pump system will help people who are considering a heat pump system what to expect from a system and what it's like to work with our team. It's exciting to see the Colorado Community making the switch to energy-efficient heat pumps and we love being a part of the movement.Please let us know if we may be of service for your future electrification/renewable energy projects.
A+ install experience for a 200A panel upgrade, heat pump, and mini split install. It's rare for a company to have both a stellar HVAC and electrical team. I'll absolutely be looking to Independent for future electrification jobs.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the 5-star review, Riley! We love helping our community switch to heat pumps and designing a system perfect for your needs. We'd be excited to help you with any projects you may have in the future.
TJ did a superb job. He was professional, courteous, and highly knowledgeable. He made sure everything was in working order before he left, and he was available for any questions I had on the new system. I highly recommend him and Independent Power to anyone looking for mini split installs!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the 5-star review, Kirsten! We sure appreciate the shout-out to TJ, we're lucky to have him on our team. And, we're excited that you installed a heat pump system! You will love the comfort they bring to your home. Please let us know if we can be of service in the future.
Brian fixed my unit from a manufacturer's defect and then came and took out my old furnace. Great job! Came home to everything tidy and clean. Thank you all so much.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the 5-star review, Jyoti! Josh and our entire HVAC team are on a mission to provide the best customer experience from the moment you reach out through install day and any questions you have.

Response from the owner: Thank you for the stellar 5-star review, Valeria! Our team enjoyed working with you and are excited you chose us for your solar project. Please let us know if we can be of service in the future.
Highly recommended. Here are the details:When I decided to install a rooftop solar system on my Helena home, I sought references on quality companies (and ignored all the door-knockers). About a quarter of the homes in my subdivision have panels, and my neighbors named three companies. My cousin who works in the industry then mentioned Independent Power as a solid provider.I developed a list of questions and called all four. They all made it to the next phase of submitting a preliminary proposal and price. At that point I eliminated one of the Helena companies due to second-tier or lower equipment.The proposals from the remaining three companies – one in Helena, one in Missoula and Independent Power in Bozeman – were all solid. All Enphase inverters, with Tier-1 panels and good warranties. They then all took time to go through the list of follow-up questions I had developed and gave what I believe were accurate and thorough answers. All sent me spec sheets and warranty info on the equipment they proposed. All offered on-staff qualified electricians on their teams.Independent was not the cheapest in $/Watt or $/kWh, but was competitive. In the end, I chose them because they offered the highest-watt panels – their 430W Q Cells took around 15% less roof space for the same production. So some day if I need to expand, I’ll still have some room.Their on-site people seem outstanding, from the drone and attic visit to get exact measurements for design finalization, to their install team which included their master electrician who has been with IP for 16 years. I had a minor problem with the metering system on startup, which worried me since they are not a local company. They immediately dug in to it remotely, consulted Enphase, and when they could not resolve it from a distance sent the electrician back timely to work everything out.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed 5-star review! We are grateful you chose to work with our team, as we know you have many options. Your trust in us is the reason our team works hard to earn and keep it. Please let us know if we can be of service in the future.
Independent Power did a great job for us again! Our range quit on us to we decided to move from gas to induction. Josh was able to schedule us in with a minimal wait and he and Marino did a great job running a new electrical line for the new range. In the process, they found “ melted “ outlet (read fire hazard) and changed it for us at no charge! Josh and team have earned our trust and are our go-to team for all our electrical needs. Highly recommend them!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the 5-star review, Karen! Our team enjoys working with you and is grateful for your continued trust in us. And, congratulations on your new induction stove! I bet you're already enjoying the benefits of how well they work. Please let us know how we can be of service in the future.
