Colorado Springs is not Xcel Energy territory, it's served by Colorado Springs Utilities, a city-owned utility with its own separate rebate program, so don't assume the Denver/Boulder/Aurora numbers apply here. CSU's clothes washer rebate splits by type: $40 for a front-load ENERGY STAR washer, $30 for a top-load model. Refrigerators (minimum 7.75 cu ft) get $30 on their own, with an extra $60 available through CSU's refrigerator recycling partnership for the old unit, a total worth confirming on CSU's current rebate page since recycling-partner programs like this change vendors periodically.
CSU also limits residential customers to two rebates per service address every three years, which is a real constraint if you're replacing multiple appliances in the same renovation, plan which two you file for, since the washer and the fridge both count against that same three-year cap.
Colorado Springs' older neighborhoods near downtown and the Westside often have laundry in unfinished basements without an exterior-wall dryer vent, the same situation a heat pump dryer is built to solve since it needs no outside exhaust. Expect a longer cycle, 20 to 40 minutes more per load than a standard resistance dryer, in exchange for roughly half the electricity use. Browse heat pump dryers →
For the kitchen, an induction cooktop isn't part of CSU's specific rebate list, but it's worth planning for anyway if you're doing a range replacement, faster boiling and a cooler-to-the-touch surface, at the cost of needing magnetic cookware. Browse induction cooktops → or induction ranges →
How to claim it
- Buy an ENERGY STAR clothes washer or refrigerator from any retailer, Colorado Springs has a Home Depot on N. Academy Blvd. and a Best Buy at the Citadel Mall area carrying qualified models
- If replacing a refrigerator, confirm CSU's current recycling partner for the old unit to claim the extra $60, check csu.org before scheduling pickup, since the vendor has changed over time
- Submit your CSU rebate application online with the dated receipt, keeping in mind the two-rebates-per-address, three-year limit
Appliance installers in Colorado Springs
Real companies, pulled from their current Google reviews. We're not paid to list anyone here. These are heating/cooling contractors, for appliance purchases themselves, buy from any retailer, but they're a good call if a new induction range or heat pump dryer needs an electrical or venting change.

Common questions
Is Colorado Springs served by Xcel Energy like Denver?
No. Colorado Springs Utilities is a separate, city-owned utility with its own rebate program, it's not part of Xcel's Colorado territory, so the rebate amounts and rules differ from Denver, Aurora, and Boulder.
How much does Colorado Springs Utilities pay for a new washer?
$40 for a front-load ENERGY STAR washer, $30 for a top-load model, confirm the current figures on CSU's residential rebate page since amounts are reviewed periodically.
Can I claim rebates on more than two appliances at once in Colorado Springs?
CSU caps residential customers at two rebates per service address every three years, so if you're replacing a washer, dryer, and fridge in one renovation, you'll need to pick which two to file for under that program.
