Colorado - Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) Program

The IRA established the main parameters for this program, but allowed the states to customize the program to meet their state-specific needs.

The program is designed to award rebates for purchase of qualifying home electrification equipment and appliances. Residents earning less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) can receive the full rebate amount, and residents earning between 80% and 150% AMI can receive a partial rebate. See summary below and program website for complete details. Application for Region 1 Single-Family Homes (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, El Paso, Gilpin, Jefferson, Larimer, Teller, and Weld) closed on April 27, 2026. Applications are still open for Region 2 Single-Family Homes (All Other Counties), until funding is exhausted. Rebates are not yet available for multi-family buildings, though the expected incentives are listed on the website.The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) will receive a total of $140 million in federal funding for two rebate programs for income-qualified Colorado homeowners and renters to improve home energy efficiency and upgrade to electric appliances. These upgrades will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve indoor and outdoor air quality, and lower home energy costs. CEO will roll out a limited initial phase of Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) through the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) to provide home energy upgrades to low-income Coloradans receiving WAP services. Direct-to-consumer rebates are available to eligible single-family home Coloradans who are not receiving WAP services; incentives for multi-family buildings should be available later in 2026. Information on funding availability can be found on the CEO's dashboard.
