Heat pump rebates in Weld County
Weld County homes can combine several heat pump rebates. Our estimate tool identifies programs based on the home, current heating fuel, utility customer status, and selected system. The State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount applies to every Colorado home and every system choice. Power Ahead Colorado also applies in Weld County on every system choice.
The Xcel Energy rebate has separate rules for current gas, gas boiler, propane, and electric heating. Xcel Energy supplies gas here. A home that now uses a gas furnace, gas boiler, or propane can qualify for $1,500 per ton of heating. A home that now uses electric heat can qualify for $750 per ton of heating. Both apply to ducted, dual fuel, and ductless systems when the home meets the stated customer rule.
How Weld County rebate programs stack
For a ducted heat pump replacing gas heat, the available stack is the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). The combined rebate total for the example ducted system is $7,000. Propane-heated homes use the same stack, the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500), with a total of $7,000. The state discount comes off the invoice, and we file every rebate for the homeowner.
For a ducted heat pump replacing electric heat, the stack is the Xcel Energy rebate ($2,200), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500). Its example total is $4,700. The difference comes from the Xcel Energy rule for existing electric heat. The Colorado state discount and Power Ahead Colorado rebate remain part of both stacks because both programs apply to every system choice in Weld County.
A dual fuel system keeps a gas furnace for the coldest hours and adds a heat pump for heating and cooling. On a gas-heated home, the stack is the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500), totaling $7,000 for the example system. Dual fuel fits homeowners who want to retain their furnace while moving much of their heating with a heat pump.
A ductless system suits homes without ducts, additions, and condos. For an electric-heated home, the stack is the Xcel Energy rebate ($2,200), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500), totaling $4,700 for the example ductless system. For a gas-heated home, the stack is the Xcel Energy rebate ($4,500), the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount ($1,000) and the Power Ahead Colorado rebate ($1,500), totaling $7,000. The current heating fuel determines which Xcel Energy rebate applies.
Homes and towns that fit the rebate rules
Census figures show that Weld County has 125,033 homes. Utility gas heats 73.9% of them, while electricity heats 17.1%. Gas heat is more common here than across Colorado, at 66.7%, while electric heat is less common than Colorado's 25.2%. Propane heats 6.7% of county homes and follows the Xcel Energy gas, gas boiler, or propane rule.
Greeley has 41,134 homes. Its 76.2% gas heat share and 19.6% electric heat share support both rebate stacks. Greeley's median home year is 1984, and 32.1% of homes are in multi-unit buildings. Ductless heat pumps suit condos and homes without ducts, while a ducted or dual fuel system suits a home with usable ducts.
Windsor, Firestone, Frederick, Dacono, Johnstown, Mead, and Severance have median build years from 2003 to 2012. Gas heat ranges from 77.8% in Windsor to 90.8% in Mead. Detached homes range from 73.5% in Firestone to 96.6% in Severance. Existing ducts and a retained furnace should be checked before selecting a system and rebate path.
Fort Lupton, Ault, Gilcrest, Kersey, La Salle, Nunn, Pierce, and Platteville have median build years from 1974 to 1993. Older homes are more likely to lack ducts or have small ducts. That makes ductless systems a direct option, while ducted and dual fuel systems need a duct review. Garden City has 82.7% multi-unit buildings. Aristocrat Ranchettes has 41.8% propane heat, so its current fuel fits the Xcel Energy gas, gas boiler, or propane rule.
System choice and rebate eligibility
A ducted heat pump uses the home's duct system for heating and cooling. It fits homes where ducts can carry the needed airflow. Rebate eligibility follows the current heating fuel and Xcel Energy customer rule, not the home age. A ducted system replacing gas, a gas boiler, or propane uses $1,500 per ton of heating, the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount, and Power Ahead Colorado.
Dual fuel combines a heat pump with the existing gas furnace. The furnace stays available for the coldest hours. This option fits many Weld County gas homes, including Frederick at 88.4% gas heat, La Salle at 92.6%, and Pierce at 92.1%. Those figures exceed Weld County's 73.9% gas share. A qualifying gas home can combine the same applicable programs as a ducted gas replacement.
Ductless heat pumps deliver heating and cooling through indoor units instead of a central duct system. They fit additions, condos, and homes without ducts. Weld County has 16% of homes in multi-unit buildings, below Colorado's 26.9%. Greeley has 32.1%, and Garden City has 82.7%. Each indoor unit in our estimate covers 500 sq ft. Our estimate prices up to 5 indoor units before a custom quote.
All system choices are sized for the home rather than selected from rebate amount alone. We measure the home and check ducts and the electrical panel before installation. Brands we install include Mitsubishi, Bosch, Daikin, Carrier and Trane. Most installations take 1 day. Jobs with several ductless units can take 2 or 3 days.
Sizing a qualifying heat pump in Weld County
Our settings size Weld County systems to 1°F outdoors and 70°F indoors. The sizing elevation is 5,300 ft. At that elevation, an air-source heat pump loses 18% of heat output. Equipment must be selected for the design condition. At the design temperature, our settings use a coefficient of performance of 2. A heat pump moves heat instead of burning fuel.
Home construction changes the needed capacity. Census figures place Weld County's median build year at 2000, compared with 1987 across Colorado. Homes built from 2000 to 2009 make up 25.5% of county housing, and homes built in 2010 or later make up 24%. The home measurement and duct and electrical panel checks confirm the equipment choice before installation.
An online estimate takes about 2 minutes. A winter gas bill makes it more accurate for gas-heated homes. Our estimate tool connects the home's load and current fuel to the applicable rebate stack. Rebate amount does not replace correct sizing. A system must meet the home's design load, including output losses at Weld County elevation.
Programs that do not apply in Weld County
Efficiency Works rebate does not apply here. It is outside the Weld County programs, so its ducted and ductless amounts are not part of a Weld County stack. Boulder County income-qualified rebate also does not apply because this page covers Weld County. No income-qualified heat pump program is listed for Weld County.
Holy Cross Energy rebate, Mountain Parks Electric rebate, Gunnison County Electric rebate, San Miguel Power rebate, and Sangre de Cristo Electric rebate do not apply here. These are utility-specific programs outside the Weld County programs listed by our estimate tool. Their amounts cannot be added to a Weld County heat pump quote.
The federal 25C credit ended for systems installed after 2025-12-31. It is not part of the current Weld County rebate stack. We file every rebate for the homeowner, and the Colorado state discount comes off the invoice. The online estimate reviews available programs before installation, then the home visit confirms equipment and eligibility details.

Questions we hear
Which rebates can a gas-heated Weld County home combine?
A qualifying Xcel Energy customer with a gas furnace, gas boiler, or propane heat can combine $1,500 per ton of heating, the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount, and $1,500. For the example ducted gas system, the combined total is $7,000. The same fuel-based stack applies to qualifying dual fuel and ductless projects.
What changes if my Weld County home has electric heat?
A qualifying Xcel Energy customer with existing electric heat uses $750 per ton of heating rather than the gas, gas boiler, or propane Xcel Energy rebate. The home can still receive the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount and Power Ahead Colorado rebate. For the example ducted system, the combined electric-heat total is $4,700.
Do I need to apply for the rebates myself?
No. We file every rebate for the homeowner. The Colorado state discount comes off the invoice. Our estimate tool identifies programs based on the home's current heating fuel, Xcel Energy customer status, location, and system choice. We then measure the home and check ducts and the electrical panel before installation.
Is there an income-qualified heat pump rebate in Weld County?
No income-qualified heat pump program is listed for Weld County. The Boulder County income-qualified rebate does not apply because this page covers Weld County. The available Weld County programs are the Xcel Energy rebate, the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount, and Power Ahead Colorado, subject to each program's stated rules.
Can I still claim the federal heat pump tax credit?
The federal 25C credit ended for systems installed after 2025-12-31. It is not part of the current Weld County rebate stack. Current qualifying projects can still use the State of Colorado Heat Pump Discount and Power Ahead Colorado rebate, plus the applicable Xcel Energy rebate for existing gas, gas boiler, propane, or electric heat.
