EnergySmart residential rebates to be reduced Oct. 15

Check out our press release announcing changes to our residential rebates:

$1 million awarded to Boulder County residents to date

Boulder County, Colo. – Due to high demand for EnergySmart residential serviced, maximum rebate levels for eligible upgrades will be reduced in October.

Currently, residents are eligible for up to $1,000 per home and up to $500 per qualifying upgrade. Beginning on Oct. 15 that level will be reduced to $700 per home, with a maximum of $350 for major upgrades.

EnergySmart has awarded more than $1 million in rebates to residents in Boulder County communities since the program launched in 2011. EnergySmart advisors have helped these homeowners access and file for more than $500,000 in additional rebates from local utilities, cities, and other sources. More than 6,000 residents have participated in EnergySmart service throughout Boulder County.

Residents wanting to take advantage of the current higher rebate levels must enroll with EnergySmart no later than Sept. 15 and eligible work must be completed no later than Oct. 15. EnergySmart staff encourages residents to sign up early, as major upgrades often require 3-6 weeks, and sometimes longer, to schedule and complete. Rebates are only available while funds remain and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

Solar bonus rebates, awarding $500 to residents installing solar PV systems after completing qualifying energy upgrades though EnergySmart, will remain at the $500 level while rebates last. Multi-family dwellings are eligible for up to $400 per unit after Oct. 15. Full details will be available at www.EnergySmartYES.com/home/rebates-and-financing.
