Xcel Energy's Home Performance Rebate program rewards you with up to $1,200 in cash rebates when you install a wide variety of energy-saving improvements, equipment, and appliances. Home Performance with ENERGY STAR is ideal for homeowners who are making multiple improvments to their homes, such as adding insulation, a new efficient furnace or even something as simple as an ENERGY STAR-certified thermostat.
Begin by calling Xcel Energy at 1.800.895.4999 to sign up for the program and to request a required Home Energy Audit. Then start making energy improvements using trusted contractors. The more improvements you make, the bigger your cash rebate and the more energy you save.
We are here to help you receive the most money for your projects--please let us walk you through the program by calling us at 651.221.4462 X 136.
