Xcel Energy’s rebates only qualify for single family homes or multifamily units with up to four units per building. **Rebates are not available for multi-family buildings with more than four units.

Tax Credits
Home efficiency upgrades can go a long way toward shrinking your carbon footprint, which is why the new tax code rewards residents who make climate-friendly renovations.
- What the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit covers: Consumers can get a 30 percent tax credit, (materials cost only, not labor) up to $1,200 per year, for energy-saving renovations like adding insulation and sealing air leaks. The rebate for households with moderate incomes covers 50% of these costs. Find out if you qualify here. If you would like professional advice about which changes to make, and safety/efficiency checks of your gas lines and gas-fired equipment, there is also a $150 tax credit per household for a home energy audit.
- When it starts and ends: The tax credit applies to projects completed between January 1, 2023 and the end of 2032.
- Who qualifies: As long as the improvements are made to a primary residence, you should qualify. If you’re a renter or living in a multifamily building, you may qualify too. Manufacturer’s Certification Statements may be needed.
- Ask your tax preparer for details on tax credits. We do not guarantee if tax credits will be available, since that is up to the federal government.
