Black Hills Energy (Electric) - Residential Energy Efficiency Program

Black Hills Energy offers cash rebates for residential customers in Colorado who install energy-efficient HVAC equipment, water heaters, appliances, insulation, and sealing measures; you can earn up to $100 back through a free virtual home energy assessment and receive a free home energy kit with LED bulbs and weatherstripping. Contact Black Hills Energy at 888-567-0799 or visit their website to download the rebate application and confirm specific efficiency requirements for the equipment you're purchasing, as individual products have different qualifying standards.

Black Hills Energy's Ready Home Electric Program invites builders and contractors to incorporate energy efficiency into new residential construction through either a Prescriptive Path (selecting eligible measures to achieve required points) or Performance Path (achieving specific Home Energy Rating System ratings) to qualify for incentives. The program demonstrates persistent energy savings and improved customer comfort; contractors should download program materials or call 888-567-0799 for details on eligible measures and incentive calculations.

This residential rebate program operates in Black Hills Energy's Colorado service territory (though availability varies by service area) and covers heat pumps, air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, smart thermostats, appliances, and insulation/sealing measures with equipment-specific efficiency thresholds. The program also includes income-qualified weatherization tracks (single-family, multifamily, and moderate-income pilot at 81–150% AMI with co-pays up to 50%), a Ready Home Electric Program for new construction, and beneficial electrification incentives; program administration includes free energy assessments and application downloads, with support lines at 888-567-0799 and 888-391-8702 for income-qualified inquiries.
