Just Heat Pumps is a fast-growing Denver-based heat pump installation company focused 100% on high-performance heat pump systems. We're building a small, elite team that cares about craftsmanship, communication, and clean air, not just speed.

We hire for character and aptitude first, then build skills together.

What You’ll Lead You’ll be the point person on 1–3 person install crews, owning both planning and execution for residential heat pump projects.

Inside / Interior Work

Ductwork modifications: measure, cut, assemble, and seal transitions, returns, and supplies

Air handler / indoor unit setup: hang, level, and orient for airflow and serviceability

Electrical & control wiring: low-voltage control, thermostat wiring, and terminations at the air handler

Filtration & IAQ: filters, media cabinets, and accessories as designed

Condensate management: drains, traps, pumps, and clean routing

Indoor-side line set connections and participation in pressure testing / commissioning

Outside / Exterior Work

Outdoor unit placement: pad prep (small concrete / Quickcrete pads), level and secure the condenser

Line set routing & connections: thoughtful penetrations, protection, flares/brazes that don’t leak

Vacuum & commissioning: pulling deep vacuum, verifying tightness, assisting with charge and startup

Electrical disconnect & power: coordinating with our electrician or performing simple terminations

Weatherproofing: line set covers, penetrations sealed, clean exterior finishes

You don’t have to be perfect at all of this on day one—but you need to be honest about what you know, hungry to improve, and comfortable leading a helper.

Who You Are (Character-First) We care more about

who you are

than how long your resume is.

You might be a great fit if:

You

take pride

in the work no one sees (a level pad, clean lines, proper support, sealed ducts).

You’re calm and respectful with homeowners, even when things go sideways.

You’re

organized : you think ahead about materials, tools, and sequence.

You like mentoring – showing an apprentice

why

something matters, not just telling them

what

to do.

You actually want to understand the

physics

(airflow, refrigerant, psychrometrics) behind what you do.

You’re aligned with our core values:

Mastery in Motion — improving your craft every week

Radical Integrity — no shortcuts, no hiding problems

Positive Impact — cleaner air, lower bills, better homes

Disciplined Efficiency — planned, prepared, buttoned-up installs

Minimums:

Solid experience in residential HVAC install OR equivalent (e.g., ductwork + minisplits + changeouts).
