About the Program
What is the HEAR Program?
The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) program is a Colorado Energy Office initiative funded by the Inflation Reduction Act. It provides upfront rebates — applied as point-of-sale discounts — for high-efficiency electric upgrades in existing Colorado homes.
Households at or below 150% of Area Median Income (AMI) qualify. Those at or below 80% AMI receive up to 100% of project cost covered; households at 80–150% AMI receive 50% of project cost, up to program maximums.
As a registered HEAR contractor, HALO applies your rebate directly as a discount on your invoice. You never pay full price and wait for a reimbursement check.
✅ Once income is verified — the rest is up to us.
After your income verification is approved by the state, HALO handles all scheduling, installation, and program paperwork on your behalf. You simply enjoy your new system at the discounted price. No reimbursement waiting. No paperwork headaches.
