Colorado residents can take advantage of two major home energy rebate programs through the Colorado Energy Office (CEO): the Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR). These programs help reduce the cost of energy-efficient upgrades, improve home comfort, and lower utility bills.
The rebates will provide up to $14,000 in savings per qualified household to make eligible energy upgrades in single-family, manufactured/mobile homes, and multi-family buildings. Funding for these incentives comes from the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) program established by the Inflation Reduction Act. These rebates will help Colorado families save money on a number of upgrades from electric heating and appliances to insulation and air sealing to electric panels and wiring.
Both homeowners and renters can get rebates for eligible improvements. Fort Collins Heating & Air Conditioning and Origin Plumbing Heating Cooling Electrical are authorized contractors for the HER & HEAR Programs.
HEAR – Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates
HEAR gives you instant savings on energy-efficient electric equipment. Instead of waiting for a rebate check, you get money off right when you buy the upgrade, including items like:
Rebates are applied upfront, lowering the price you pay at the time of installation.
HER – Home Efficiency Rebates
HER focuses on bigger, whole-home efficiency upgrades.
Your project must reduce energy use by at least 20%, and you can earn larger rebates if savings reach 35% or more. It’s a great option for manufactured homes, single-family homes planning significant improvements, and larger multifamily buildings.
Provide basic information about your home, household size, and income range to determine eligibility.

After installation, FCHA/Origin submits all required documents to the CEO.
The Colorado Energy Office reviews the completed project for compliance.
