Federal home energy programs in Colorado: status and dates
Colorado Home Energy Rebates (HEAR and HER) via Colorado Energy Office
federal rebate (state-run)
Status: HEAR single-family closed (funds exhausted); small multifamily HEAR and HER not yet open
The CEO page (updated August 2026) says the HEAR single-family program is closed for Region 1 (Front Range) and Region 2 (all other counties), and applications and project proposals submitted after Aug 1, 2026 for Region 2 will not be reviewed and will be denied. The HEAR dashboard (last updated 8/3/26) shows $0 remaining in both regions and $13.7M remaining for small multifamily statewide. The page says rebates for small multifamily buildings 'will be available in 2026' and HER (whole-home, for manufactured/mobile homes and large multifamily buildings) 'will be available in 2026'.
Not confirmed or worth knowing: No exact launch date was stated for the small multifamily or HER programs.
