Your Average Savings

These rebates help you cut down on the cost of your insulation improvements, so you can make sure you're getting the right upgrade for your home and not just the one you can afford. You are also expected to save 10 to 20% on heating and cooling bills just by sealing uncontrolled air leaks. Here is an example of the kind of savings that can be realized:

To be eligible for these rebates:

• A participating insulation/air sealing contractor must complete all air sealing and insulation upgrades.
• You must be a residential, natural gas customer or electric heating customer in Colorado.
• You may choose to do one or all of the upgrades. Insulation and/or air sealing measures must be installed according to the program requirements.

Not eligible for these rebates:

• New residential construction
• New residential additions
• Garages
• Sheds
• Workshops
• Below-ground basements
• Insulated doors
• Mobile homes
• Unit properties with more than four units

Rental properties are also eligible for rebates. If you are the person who receives the energy bill and a tenant of the rental property, the property owner will likely be paying for the project and will want the rebate. That is accomplished by you signing the rebate over to the property owner on the rebate application form in the Alternate Rebate Recipient section. 

Why Do We Require Registered Contractors?

High efficiency solutions for your home are often only as “highly efficient” as the quality installation techniques used by your contractor. There is no state-wide licensing program in Colorado for residential contractors, so BPI certification is required to ensure some common technical knowledge is in-house for each contractor. Once they meet the program requirements, they are added to the participating contractor list and given the rebate application. For questions you should ask your contractor, download our PDF.

1. A participating Insulation/Air Sealing contractor must complete all air sealing and insulation upgrades.
2. Complete air sealing and attic insulation upgrades.
