Colorado Springs Utilities HVAC Rebates (Last Verified September 2026)

According to Colorado Springs Utilities, natural gas customers may earn these rebates on qualifying equipment:

$900 on a qualifying furnace (ENERGY STAR)
$1,500 on heat pumps under three tons and/or ENERGY STAR rated models
$3,000 on cold-climate (NEEP) heat pumps three tons and over
$1,200 on a qualifying boiler
$50 on an ENERGY STAR smart thermostat (electric or natural gas customers)
Starting Jan. 1, 2026, Colorado Springs Utilities also provides a $1,500 electric bill credit to customers approved for rebates on heat pumps under three tons.
Ductless mini-splits are rebated by the number of outdoor units (condensers), not indoor heads.

The Federal Tax Credit Has Ended

The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025. It no longer applies to new furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner installations, so utility rebates are now the main incentive for Colorado Springs homeowners.

How to Claim a Colorado Springs Utilities Rebate

The process is straightforward:

Choose equipment that meets ENERGY STAR or Cold Climate ASHP (NEEP) requirements.
Have it installed by a contractor, or owner-performed with an approved Pikes Peak Regional Building Department permit.
Keep an itemized receipt showing the date of purchase, purchase price, make/model and quantity.
Apply through your Colorado Springs Utilities My Account, by email (products@csu.org), or by mail — postmarked no later than Jan. 31 of the following year.

Always Check the Current Program Before You Buy

Utility rebates can change, so confirm the current amounts and rules on the official Colorado Springs Utilities rebates page (csu.org/rebates) before you buy. Tell us what you're planning to replace and we'll quote equipment that meets the program's efficiency requirements and give you the itemized receipt the application needs.

Stacking Rebates With Financing

Rebates stack with financing. We offer financing on complete system installations — our popular packages start at $10,400, with monthly options that keep quality equipment affordable. Many Colorado Springs homeowners finance the install, then put their utility rebate toward the balance.
