DENVER, Jan. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Zero Homes today announced that it is now serving homeowners throughout the entire state of Colorado to help them navigate and access the newly launched Colorado Home Energy Rebate Program and install energy-efficient heat pump systems that lower energy costs and improve home comfort.
The Colorado Energy Office (CEO), in partnership with the Polis Administration, recently launched the state’s Home Energy Rebate Program — a consumer-facing initiative supported by federal funding that provides up to $14,000 in rebates per eligible household for energy-saving home improvements. These rebates are designed to make electrification and efficiency upgrades more affordable for Coloradans, including cold-climate and standard heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, insulation, air sealing, electrical panel upgrades, and more.
“Coloradans want access to clean-energy technology to save money, and these rebates will help accomplish that,” said Governor Jared Polis upon the program’s launch. “These rebates can help more Coloradans make a variety of home upgrades that will bring down energy costs and provide more efficient home heating and cooling.”
Zero Homes‘ statewide expansion ensures that homeowners — from major urban centers to rural mountain towns — can confidently understand their eligibility, navigate the rebate process, and complete professional installations with registered contractors.

The Home Energy Rebate Program includes two rebate tracks: the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) for high-efficiency electric appliances and upgrades now available to eligible single-family homes and small multifamily buildings, and the Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) for whole-home improvements that will be launched for manufactured/mobile homes and large multifamily buildings. Rebates are delivered through a network of registered contractors and are applied as discounts on qualified projects. Colorado Energy Office

Heat pumps installed through the program can qualify for up to $8,000 for cold-climate heat pumps and up to $3,000 for standard heat pump systems toward the total rebate cap of $14,000 per household, with additional rebate opportunities for water heaters, air sealing, and electrical upgrades.
