Manitou Springs introduces $10k rebate program to help make energy efficient home improvements

MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Manitou Springs is partnering with the Housing Advisory Board to make energy efficient home improvements on residential property.

In the effort, Manitou Springs' Planning Department is giving $10,000 in total to the Energy Efficiency Rebate Program. The program will help homeowners in rebating their water bill for air sealing, heat pumps, water heaters, high efficiency toilets, irrigation equipment, and the cost of insulation.

“Through the Energy Efficiency Rebate Program, we are incentivizing the health of our environment and the importance of combating unnecessary energy waste first,” said Hannah Van Nimwegen-McGuire, Planning Director for the City of Manitou Springs.

The program will run throughout the end of 2022 or until the budgeted amount runs out.

In order to be considered, you must apply for a Property Improvement Permit and have receipts of purchased equipment.

You have until January 1, 2022 to apply for the rebate.
