City and County of Denver - Home Energy Rebates
Administered by APTIM
Denver homeowners in single-family homes, duplexes, and townhomes can receive rebates for heat pumps (40-80% of cost, up to $1,200), heat pump water heaters (60% up to $500), EV chargers (80% up to $200 for standard, up to $2,000 for bi-directional), solar ($1 per watt up to $2,000 or 80% cost), and battery storage (80% up to $500). These rebates stack with federal, state, and Xcel Energy incentives, and you can apply through the city's rebate program.
You can help residential customers access stacked incentives across heat pumps, water heaters, solar, EV charging, and storage—with Denver rebates covering 40-80% of project costs depending on technology. Note that solar, battery, and service upgrade rebates require prior installation of a heat pump, heat pump water heater, or bi-directional charger; service upgrades cannot be paired with basic EV charger rebates.
Denver's rebate program targets residential properties (single-family, duplexes, townhomes) and heat pump rebates for existing commercial and multifamily buildings, with per-project caps ranging from $200 to $2,000. The program is designed to layer with federal (IRA), state, and Xcel Energy incentives; program mechanics require sequential installation (solar/battery/service upgrades only available after heat pump or water heater deployment) and track technology adoption across electrification and distributed generation.
