City and County of Denver - Home Energy Rebates

Denver provides incentives for various home energy technologies. Incentives are available for single-family homes, duplexes, and town homes, covering existing homes, rehabs, and new construction; commercial and multifamily buildings are eligible for the city's heat pump rebates for existing buildings. These incentives can be stacked with incentives from Xcel Energy and the state government. The 30% federal residential clean energy credit (IRC Section 25D) was repealed for systems installed after 31 December 2025 and is no longer available. Available rebates include:

• Electric vehicle charger: 80% of cost, up to $200
