Fort Collins Energy Rebates 2026: What's Available Now
Here is the honest picture for Fort Collins in 2026. The figure we can confirm statewide is Colorado's $1,000 state heat-pump tax credit. Your utility -- Fort Collins Utilities for many addresses, Xcel for others -- runs its own rebate, but municipal program amounts are set by the city and we do not carry them in our verified data, so we will not print a number we cannot source. And the federal HEAR rebate is currently closed on the Front Range. The calculator below confirms your utility and shows what is open for your address.
Fort Collins Utilities runs its own programs
Fort Collins Utilities is city-owned rather than investor-owned, so its rebate programs are set by the city and can change with the annual budget. It typically offers rebates on heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, Level 2 EV chargers, smart thermostats, and lighting. Because we cannot verify the current municipal amounts against our ground-truth data, we point you to Fort Collins Utilities directly for exact figures rather than risk quoting a stale number. Note that not all Fort Collins addresses are served by Fort Collins Utilities -- some fall under Xcel Energy -- so confirm your provider first.
Where the federal HEAR rebate stands
HEAR is regionally gated in Colorado. The Front Range (Region 1), which includes Fort Collins, closed to new applications on April 28, 2026, and no reopening has been announced; the mountain and Western Slope counties (Region 2) remain open. So we do not count the $8,000 HEAR heat-pump rebate in a Fort Collins total today. The calculator checks your ZIP's current HEAR status.
Colorado state heat-pump tax credit: $1,000
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 regardless of region. It stacks with your utility's rebate on the same project and sunsets at the end of 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rebate programs does Fort Collins Utilities offer in 2026?
Fort Collins Utilities (a city-owned municipal utility) runs its own efficiency and electrification rebates -- typically covering heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, Level 2 EV chargers, smart thermostats, and lighting. We do not carry Fort Collins Utilities' specific 2026 rebate amounts in our verified data, so rather than print a figure we cannot source, we point you to Fort Collins Utilities directly or to the calculator, which surfaces what we can confirm for your address.
Can Fort Collins homeowners get the Colorado HEAR rebate right now?
Not currently. The federal HEAR program is run by region in Colorado, and Fort Collins is on the Front Range (Region 1), which closed to 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 Fort Collins household can claim today; the calculator tracks the current status by ZIP.
What is the dependable rebate for a Fort Collins heat pump today?
The figure we can confirm statewide is Colorado's $1,000 state heat-pump income-tax credit, available to all Colorado taxpayers regardless of income.
