Fort Collins runs its own municipal electric utility, Fort Collins Utilities, and is not part of Xcel's territory the way Denver, Aurora, and Boulder are. The city partners with a regional program called Efficiency Works to run its residential rebates, including appliance categories: clothes washers, refrigerators and freezers, and, unusually for a Colorado municipal utility, heat pump clothes dryers and heat pump water heaters both get their own line items. We're not going to guess at exact dollar figures here since Efficiency Works updates its rebate table periodically and Fort Collins' own site directed customers there as of a January 2026 update; check the current amount before buying rather than assuming a specific number.
That heat pump dryer rebate specifically is worth flagging because Fort Collins Utilities is one of the few municipal utilities in this batch that lists it as its own qualifying category rather than bundling it into a generic appliance line, a sign the utility has actively marketed the technology to its customers, not just tolerated it. A heat pump dryer needs no outside vent, which matters in Fort Collins' older housing near Old Town where basement laundry rooms rarely have an exterior wall nearby.

Induction ranges aren't currently a named Efficiency Works category for Fort Collins, so there's no dedicated rebate to expect there, but the case for one stands on its own: faster cooking and a cooktop that cools quickly, provided your cookware is magnetic. Browse induction cooktops → or induction ranges →
Fort Collins also offers both retail rebates (buy first, apply after) and retrofit rebates for service-provider-installed upgrades, the retrofit path applies more to water heaters and panels than to a straightforward appliance swap, but it's worth knowing the two tracks exist before you pick a contractor.
