Colorado Springs Heat Pump Rebates 2026
Here is the honest picture for Colorado Springs in 2026. The rebates you can count on today are Colorado Springs Utilities' $700 heat-pump rebate and Colorado's $1,000 state heat-pump tax credit -- about $1,700 combined. The $8,000 federal HEAR rebate is currently closed in this area, so we do not put it in the headline. The calculator below shows your exact eligibility.
What CSU Efficiency Works pays
Colorado Springs Utilities is a city-owned utility, so its rebates are separate from the investor-owned programs Denver homeowners see. Through Efficiency Works, CSU offers $700 toward a qualifying heat pump and $500 toward a heat pump water heater. These are flat amounts set by CSU's annual budget; the calculator confirms the current figure for your address.
Where the federal HEAR rebate stands here
HEAR (the federal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program) is run by region in Colorado, and it is not open everywhere. Colorado Springs is on the Front Range (Region 1), which stopped accepting new applications on April 28, 2026; the mountain and Western Slope counties (Region 2) remain open. So we do not count the $8,000 HEAR heat-pump rebate in your Colorado Springs total today, and no reopening has been announced.
Colorado state heat-pump tax credit: $1,000
Separate from your utility, Colorado offers a $1,000 state heat-pump income-tax credit for the 2026 tax year, available to every Colorado taxpayer regardless of income, and it stacks with the CSU rebate. It sunsets at the end of 2026.
Sizing for the Colorado Springs climate
Colorado Springs sits at about 6,035 feet with cold winters, so a cold-climate heat pump (ccASHP) rated to hold efficiency near 5 degrees Fahrenheit or lower is the right choice over a standard model. A whole-home installation commonly runs $10,000 to $18,000 depending on home size and ductwork; the rebates above reduce that, and the calculator gives your net cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Colorado Springs use Xcel Energy rebates?
No. Colorado Springs is served by Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU), a city-owned municipal utility independent from Xcel Energy. CSU runs its own rebates through Efficiency Works; Xcel rebates do not apply to CSU customers. If you live inside the CSU service area, look at CSU programs rather than Xcel.
Is the Colorado HEAR rebate available in Colorado Springs right now?
Not currently. Colorado runs HEAR by region, and Colorado Springs is on the Front Range (Region 1), which stopped accepting new applications on April 28, 2026, with no reopening announced. The mountain and Western Slope counties (Region 2) remain open, so the $8,000 HEAR heat-pump rebate is not part of what a Colorado Springs household can claim today. The calculator checks your ZIP's current status.
What does CSU actually pay for a heat pump?
CSU's Efficiency Works heat-pump rebate is $700, and its heat-pump water-heater rebate is $500. These are flat amounts that can change with CSU's annual budget, so confirm the current figure in the calculator or directly with Efficiency Works. The $700 stacks with Colorado's $1,000 state heat-pump tax credit.
What is the dependable rebate stack in Colorado Springs today?
With HEAR currently closed on the Front Range, the rebates you can count on are CSU's $700 heat-pump rebate plus the $1,000 Colorado state tax credit -- about $1,700. The $8,000 HEAR rebate is closed for the Front Range with no reopening announced, so it is not part of that number. The calculator shows your exact figure.
