Colorado HEAR Rebates (Home Electrification & Appliance Rebate) program have been finally launched to the public as of November 13th, 2025. If you’ve been waiting for the new state rebates for heat pumps, electrical upgrades, and other electric appliances, here’s a clear breakdown of what’s available, what’s still pending, and what you can do now to prepare.
Some details especially those related to heat pump system eligibility are still pending final guidance from the Colorado Energy Office (CEO). We will update this page the moment new information is released.
HEAR provides up-front, point-of-sale rebates for income-qualified households making electric upgrades in existing homes. Below is the complete list of eligible measures based on current Colorado Energy Office guidance.
UniColorado offers cold climate heat pumps and electrical panel upgrades (in conjunction with heat pumps, no standalone projects).

HEAR-funded installations may begin in 2025, depending on the speed of CEO’s updates and contractor onboarding.
But you can combine:
Total incentives cannot exceed the project cost.
HER (Home Efficiency Rebates) is a separate program focused on whole-home efficiency projects and modeled energy savings which is expected to roll out in 2026. We’ll publish a full HER article soon.
For now:
This alone can take 7–14 days, and HEAR cannot move forward without it.
