Douglas County is partnering with the Governor’s Energy Office to offer rebates to homeowners for insulation installation through the Insulate Colorado program.

Homeowners may apply for a rebate of 20 percent off the cost of installation of either attic or exterior wall insulation and basic recommended air sealing measures, or $300 maximum per home, whichever is less through the Insulate Colorado program. Homeowners in both incorporated and unincorporated Douglas County are eligible.

Rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted. A rebate will not be given for new construction and homeowners must use an eligible contractor who has had the GEO program training. Copies of all contractor invoices and official insulation cards must be submitted with the Homeowner Rebate Request Form. Homeowners who have Xcel Energy as their natural gas provider can apply for the rebate through Xcel Energy.
