Identify the programs that apply

Check your electric utility, installation address and proposed equipment before counting a rebate. Program rules can also depend on income, contractor participation and installation dates.

Ask who handles the application

A discount on the contractor invoice works differently from a reimbursement you apply for later. UniColorado reviews available installation discounts and handles the applicable paperwork for its quoted work.

Confirm the deadline before scheduling

Some programs use the installation or invoice date rather than the day you sign. Ask which date controls your eligibility and have the expected discount documented on the quote.

Use the current program information

Check the Colorado Energy Office and your utility for current rules. Send your equipment photos so the quote can account for the actual installation.

Common questions

Can I start with photos?

Yes. Send photos of the indoor and outdoor equipment or upload an existing quote. UniColorado will review the request and follow up.
