Large community
Highlands Ranch is the largest community in Douglas County, with more than 100,000 residents counted in 2020. It is not a city. It is an unincorporated area governed by the county, with the Highlands Ranch Metro District and the Highlands Ranch Community Association handling local matters.
✓
1980s homes. The earliest neighborhoods have ductwork and wiring from the 1980s. A heat pump added there often works alongside the original furnace layout.
✓
1990s and 2000s growth. Homes from the busiest building years are now on their second or third outdoor unit, with mixed refrigerant types across the neighborhood.
✓
Newer homes. Recent construction may have a heat pump as the main heat source, with electric backup instead of gas.
✓
Leaks on older lines. Refrigerant lines reused through several equipment swaps can develop leaks at joints, causing a slow loss of heating and cooling.
Community rules
Every homeowner belongs to the Highlands Ranch Community Association. The association runs the recreation centers, trails and parks, and handles neighborhood covenants. Check its guidelines before moving an outdoor unit or adding a screen.
Heading west from Parker, you cross I-25 to reach Highlands Ranch. When you call, give your nearest major street so the line can pass you to a contractor who works your side of the community.
The 8,200-acre Backcountry Wilderness Area sits on the south side. Homes near open land can see more wind and blowing debris than those in the middle of a subdivision, which affects how often outdoor coils need clearing.

First checks
01
Check the sticker on the outdoor unit. Knowing whether it dates from the 1990s or last year changes what the contractor brings.
02
If your heat pump pairs with a gas furnace, make sure the furnace switch is on and its door panel is closed properly.
03
If the outdoor unit has no power, reset its breaker one time only. A second trip means the breaker stays off until a contractor looks.
