Home Energy Audit

To get started find a registered Xcel Energy participating contractor. Rebates are only available if you use a registered contractor.

You must pay the auditor the total audit cost up front, and we'll pay you a rebate valued at 60% of the audit price, up to $200. The Standard Audit typically takes two hours, and is conducted at a time convenient for you. The Standard Audit with Blower Door and Infrared Audit require the auditor to spend a little more time at your home and can exceed two hours.

Where is the rebate application?

You must use a participating contractor in order to qualify for this rebate. Ask your contractor for the rebate application.

Why does Xcel Energy have a requirement to use certain contractors?

High-efficiency solutions for your home are 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 national certification programs have been selected to ensure contractors have the necessary technical knowledge and expertise. Once they meet the program requirements, they are added to the participating contractor list and are given access to the rebate application.
