Appliance Rebates in Denver

Xcel Energy is Denver's electric utility, and its appliance program is a flat $30 per ENERGY STAR clothes washer, dryer, or refrigerator (minimum 7.75 cubic feet), climbing to $90 if you send the old unit out through Xcel's recycling pickup instead of hauling it to the curb. That recycling add-on is easy to skip by accident, the pickup has to be scheduled through Xcel, not just any junk removal service, so book it before your new appliance arrives.

If you're doing more than one appliance swap this year, Xcel's Whole Home Efficiency Program is worth checking before you buy anything: bundle three or more qualifying upgrades within a two-year window (an appliance rebate can be one of them, alongside things like attic insulation or a smart thermostat) and Xcel adds a 25% bonus on top of the standard rebate amounts. It's a program most homeowners doing one appliance at a time never hear about, since Xcel doesn't surface it on the basic rebate finder.

Denver's older bungalow neighborhoods (Park Hill, Berkeley, Washington Park) often have laundry in an unfinished basement with no dryer vent run to an exterior wall at all, that's the exact situation a heat pump dryer is built for, since it recirculates and condenses moisture instead of needing an outside exhaust. The tradeoff is cycle time: expect 20–40 minutes longer per load than a standard resistance dryer, which matters if you're doing back-to-back loads for a family.

For the kitchen, an induction range trades a standard $30 rebate for real speed, water boils noticeably faster than on an electric coil, and the cooktop surface itself stays cool enough to wipe clean seconds after you turn it off. The catch: your cookware has to be magnetic (cast iron and most stainless work, aluminum and copper generally don't) so check a few pieces with a fridge magnet before you commit to a full range swap.

How to claim it

1. Buy a new ENERGY STAR-certified washer, dryer, or refrigerator from any retailer, Denver has Home Depot on Colorado Blvd. and Best Buy on Broadway, both stocking qualified models
2. Schedule Xcel's appliance recycling pickup for your old unit if you want the extra $60, this has to be booked directly with Xcel, not a third-party hauler
3. Submit your rebate application online with the dated receipt within Xcel's filing window; if you're stacking three or more upgrades, apply for the Whole Home Efficiency bonus separately

Appliance installers in Denver

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.
