Governor's Energy Office Offering Rebates

Beginning in March 2010, the Governor's Energy Office (GEO) will offer rebates to Colorado residents who install energy efficiency and renewable energy measures.

Not all products and services will qualify for a rebate. You should not choose a product or service for purchase until the program has launched. The rebates will be offered statewide on a first-come, first-served basis through 2012 or until funds are exhausted, whichever occurs first. The GEO has developed this program based on stringent criteria from the U.S. Department of Energy and the needs of Coloradans. Visit the GEO website for general appliance and technology categories offered in March of 2010, along with other information. Funding for these rebates is provided by American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)of 2009.

The GEO rebates will not be retroactive.

ATTENTION
HOMEOWNERS AND CONTRACTORS

Lead based paints can be harmful to both children and adults, especially when activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition create lead dust and chips.  The Environmental Protection Agency has enacted rules to minimize lead poisoning through lead-safe work practices.  Effective April 22, 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.

Please see the EPA website for complete information.
