for Energy Efficiency & Electrification Upgrades

Get up to $5,000 back when you invest in high-efficiency equipment for your home.

We’re proud to offer a variety of energy efficiency and smart electrification rebates to help our members invest in high-efficiency equipment for their homes. By helping our members with some of the cost of these upgrades, these incentives may reduce the co-op’s overall energy consumption, lower participants’ energy costs, and encourage members to choose electric options over natural gas, propane, or other fossil fuel alternatives. And all this helps our cooperative and communities reach our clean energy goals.

To qualify:

  • You must be a Holy Cross Energy member in good standing
  • Your equipment must be installed in HCE service territory and be in working order
  • You must apply for your rebate within 90 days of your invoice date
  • Please see our full list of rebate rules here >
One application, more savings.

Our rebates are stackable, meaning you can combine them with other incentives to maximize your total savings. By filling out our rebate application, you will also be applying for rebates through our local Energy Smart Colorado nonprofit partners at Walking Mountains and CORE.

You may also qualify for additional rebates through the new Colorado Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program (requires a separate application and work completed by approved contractors.

Air Sealing & Insulation

Why upgrade?

A well-sealed home envelope, coupled with the right amount of insulation, can make a significant difference on your energy usage. The EPA estimates that homeowners can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs (or an average of 11% on total energy costs) by air sealing their homes and adding insulation in attics, floors over crawl spaces and basements.

Air sealing rebate eligibility requirements:

  • Electrically heated buildings only 
  • Las fugas de aire se deben reducir en 10% o más, según lo medido en CFM50 mediante la prueba de la puerta del ventilador. 
  • Air sealing must be completed prior to adding insulation unless Natural Air Changes per Hour (NACH) is 0.35 or lower
  • El ático, el espacio de acceso y las paredes exteriores califican para un reembolso 
  • Rebate shall not exceed 100% of the project cost 

Insulation rebate eligibility requirements:

  • Edificios con calefacción eléctrica únicamente 
  • Exterior Wall –Insulate exterior wall/foundation to a minimum of R-19 
  • Attic – Insulate unfinished attic floor to a minimum of R-60 
  • Floor – Insulate floor of living space above the garage or unconditioned crawlspace to a minimum of R-30 
  • Crawlspace Wall – Insulate to a minimum of R-19

Bombas de calor para calefacción y refrigeración

Why upgrade?

Heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners for all climates. Today’s heat pumps can drastically reduce your electricity use compared to electric resistance heating, such as electric baseboard heaters. 

These two-in-one systems also have the benefit of heating and cooling 

Rebate eligibility requirements:

  • Includes all cold climate air source (ducted or ductless), ground source, air to water and split-hydronic systems 
  • HCE Quality Heat Pump Completion Form required. Includes the following:  
    • Ducted Heat Pump must have an HSPF2 must be ≥ 9 (Climate Zone 5) 
    • Ductless system must have an HSPF2 of ≥ 10 (Climate Zone 5) 
    • Includes Manual J completion  
    • La unidad exterior debe estar elevada al menos a 12 pulgadas del suelo para descongelarse adecuadamente. 
  • Dual Fuel System Criteria  
    • Temperature crossover temp must be a minimum of 5°F degrees  
    • Must document proof of settings on HCE Quality Heat Pump Completion Form 
    • Must include invoice line item for supplemental natural gas or propane furnace cost

Calentadores de agua con bomba de calor

Why upgrade?

Traditional resistance electric water heaters are often the largest energy consumers in your house. Heat-pump water heaters are more efficient than traditional electric water heaters because they draw heat from the air rather than generating it directly. That efficiency translates into lower electricity use and lower bills over time.

Rebate Eligibility Requirements:

  • Standard heat pump water heaters and split-hydronic systems are eligible 
  • Must be electric only (no propane or natural gas).  
  • Member must enroll in Peak Time Payback  
  • Learn more at Love Electric

Secadora con bomba de calor

Why upgrade?

Heat pump dryers use a closed-loop system that recovers and reuses heat, rather than blowing it out the back like traditional vented or condenser dryers. They use up to 50%–60% less energy than conventional electric dryers, resulting in lower electric bills and a smaller carbon footprint

Rebate Eligibility Requirements:

  • Secadora con certificación Energy-Star y tecnología de bomba de calor
  • Member must enroll in Peak Time Payback

Estufa o estufa de inducción

Why upgrade?

Induction heats cookware directly through electromagnetic energy, not by heating the cooktop surface first. This provides faster heating, better temperature control, and reduced energy use compared togas or traditional electric range. 

Rebate Eligibility Requirements:

  • Secadora con certificación Energy-Star y tecnología de bomba de calor
  • Member must enroll in Peak Time Payback

Smart Panel / Energy Management System

Why upgrade?

These devices can help prevent multiple large appliances from running simultaneously (also known as “stacking”). That can reduce your peak demand, potentially lowering demand charges. They can be especially helpful in homes with electric vehicles, heat pumps, or older electrical panels; in some cases, they can help you avoid a costly panel upgrade.

Rebate Eligibility Requirements:

  • Must be a new smart panel or certified energy management system where none previously existed
  • Member must enroll in Peak Time Payback

Plug Sharing Device

Why upgrade?

These devices let two appliances safely share a single 240-volt outlet by automatically managing which one draws power at a time. For example, you can charge an electric vehicle using the same outlet as a dryer, or share one outlet between two EVs, without unplugging and re-plugging cords. The device prioritizes usage and switches power as needed, helping prevent overloads.

Rebate Eligibility Requirements:

  • Any certified energy management device that allows loads to safely share breaker output circuit

  • Useful for EV charging!

  • Example solutions are splitters like the NeoCharge Smart Splitte

  • Must enroll in Peak Time Payback

Smart Breaker, Smart Load Controller, or Scheduling Device

Why upgrade?

These devices can help prevent multiple large appliances from running simultaneously (also known as “stacking”). That can reduce your peak demand, potentially lowering demand charges. They can be especially helpful in homes with electric vehicles, heat pumps, or older electrical panels; in some cases, they can help you avoid a costly panel upgrade.

Rebate Eligibility Requirements:

  • Includes any smart load controller with the ability to schedule load off-peak 
  • Includes heat tape timers, water heater controllers, pool and spa controls 
  • Must enroll in Peak Time Payback

Smart or Programmable Thermostats

Why upgrade?

Smart or programmable thermostats can help save energy and money, improve comfort, y make temperature control easier. Smart thermostats can even automatically reduce heating and cooling when it is not needed and adapt to your daily routines. They can be adjusted remotely through smartphone apps, making them especially helpful for vacation properties. Many also offer energy-use insights.

Rebate Eligibility Requirements:

  • Edificios con calefacción eléctrica únicamente 
  • Must enroll in Peak Time Payback 
  • Maximum of 10 thermostats per year

New All-Electric Construction: Residential

Why go all-electric?

An all-electric home can be a smart fit for mountain living. High-efficiency heat pumps provide reliable, comfortable heating even in very cold weather. That means lower safety risks, more predictable energy costs, and cleaner indoor air. And as our electricity supply gets cleaner, going all-electric helps protect the landscapes and air quality that make mountain communities special.

Rebate Eligibility Requirements:

  • No gas line installed
  • Only equipment costs are eligible (no installation or labor)
