High‑efficiency comfort doesn’t have to mean a high upfront cost. Colorado Eco-Mechanical participates in multiple utility, state, and local rebate programs and can help you capture thousands in incentives on qualifying projects.
We routinely secure rebates for:
- Cold‑climate heat pumps and ductless mini splits
- Heat pump water heaters
- Furnace‑to‑heat‑pump conversions
- Envelope upgrades like insulation and air sealing
Xcel Energy® HVAC & Heat Pump Rebates
As a participating Xcel Energy contractor, we design systems that meet current Xcel efficiency requirements and prepare the documentation needed for rebates on:
- Cold‑climate and standard air‑source heat pumps
- Ductless mini splits
- High‑efficiency AC and furnace upgrades
- Heat pump water heaters
We help complete and submit the contractor portions of the application and respond to any follow‑up requests, so you can receive your rebate check as quickly as possible.
Colorado HEAR & HER Home Energy Rebates
Colorado’s HEAR (Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates) and HER (Home Efficiency Rebates) programs can dramatically reduce upfront costs—especially for low‑ and moderate‑income households.
Through these programs, qualifying single‑family, manufactured/mobile, and multifamily homes may receive up to tens of thousands of dollars in combined incentives, depending on income, home type, and energy savings.
Common eligible upgrades include:
- Cold‑climate and standard heat pumps
- Heat pump water heaters
- Insulation, air sealing, and ventilation
- Electrical panel and wiring upgrades
- Electric cooking appliances
Rebates are typically applied as instant discounts on your project. We help you confirm eligibility, complete the required assessment, submit documentation, and see the rebate reflected directly in your final price.
State of Colorado Heat Pump Tax Credit Discount
Colorado offers a heat pump tax credit taken by registered contractors and passed on as an upfront discount. As a registered contractor, we can apply this discount to qualifying:
- Air‑source, ground‑source, water‑source, and VRF heat pumps
- Heat pump water heaters
- Eligible thermal energy network systems
You don’t file anything yourself for this state credit. We claim the tax credit and are required to show your discount clearly as a “State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount” on your invoice.
EnergySmart Boulder Income‑Qualified Rebates
For Boulder County residents earning at or below 100% of Area Median Income, EnergySmart offers income‑qualified rebates that can be layered with other incentives (subject to funding and rules).
Eligible households may receive:
- Up to 50% of project costs, capped at $2,000 per year
- For upgrades like insulation, air sealing, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, induction cooking, panel upgrades, and more
We coordinate with your EnergySmart advisor so the scope, timing, and paperwork for your project align with the latest program requirements.
