Unlike Xcel rebates, United Power rebates are paid after installation. The rebate process involves purchasing and installing qualifying equipment, then submitting the application with required documentation. Rebates are issued as checks within 6-8 weeks.
UniColorado for United Power Customers
UniColorado installs throughout United Power territory and provides all documentation needed for your rebate application: itemized invoice, AHRI certificate, and equipment photos. We submit the application on your behalf so you don't have to navigate the process yourself.
All three brands we install (Mitsubishi, Bosch, Carrier) exceed United Power's SEER2 and HSPF2 thresholds. We size every system with a Manual J load calculation, which also determines whether you qualify for the higher rebate tier (systems over 2 tons).
United Power rebates stack with HEAR and the Colorado state tax credit. We handle the paperwork for all applicable programs.
Who Handles the Paperwork?
You can handle the paperwork yourself, or you may work with your contractor. We submit the paperwork on behalf of our customers at UniColorado. Submission of an application does not guarantee a rebate. United Power reserves the right to inspect equipment installation.
