- Heat pump dryers & water heaters
- Spot ventilation
- And more!
Measures are subject to findings through a comprehensive home energy assessment. Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG) will complete energy visits and improvements.
How To Qualify
Household income limited to 150% area median income (AMI). Review current qualifying income levels below.
*Available funding varies depending on a variety of qualifying factors. Please contact an Energy Coach for more information.
Eagle County’s Energy Efficiency Programs support its strategic goals while helping local residents save energy and reduce costs.
Support for Income-Qualified Households
Income-qualified households receive free energy assessments, increased rebate incentives, and one-on-one support from an Energy Coach to guide you every step of the way.
Income-qualified programs are designed for households whose total household income is below 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
AMI represents the middle-income level for households in our region and varies by household size. Many local, state, and utility energy programs use AMI to ensure additional support reaches households who need it most.
| Household Size | 150% AMI | |
|---|---|---|
| People living full-time in the home (including children) | Annually | Monthly |
| 1 Person | $139,950 | $11,663 |
| 2 People | $159,900 | $13,325 |
| 3 People | $179,850 | $14,988 |
| 4 People | $199,800 | $16,650 |
| 5 People | $215,900 | $17,988 |
| 6 People | $231,900 | $19,325 |
| 7 People | $247,800 | $20,650 |

Frequently Asked Questions
Electrification is the transition from fossil-fuel-powered systems to electric alternatives, enabling cleaner, more efficient, and renewable-powered energy use.
Some examples of electrification in your home are:
- Electric vehicles (EVs) replacing gasoline/diesel cars
- Heat pumps replacing natural-gas or propane furnaces
- Induction stoves replacing gas stoves
- Electric water heaters replacing gas water heaters
- Electric landscaping equipment replacing gas-powered tools
The goal is to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality, and increase efficiency.
Electrification is a major strategy for addressing climate change because:
- Electric technologies are more efficient than combustion-based ones (heat pumps, for example, can be 3–4× more efficient than gas furnaces).
- Renewable energy is increasingly available and can power these technologies with near-zero emissions.
- It reduces reliance on fossil fuels, which are finite and polluting.
- Buildings and transportation—two of the largest emissions sources—become cleaner when they switch to electric systems.
The building envelope is the exterior shell of a building—walls, roof, foundation, windows, doors, and insulation—that controls heat, air, and moisture flow. A strong envelope improves energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability.
A well-designed building envelope:
- Reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer
- Lowers energy use by reducing the need for heating and cooling
- Improves occupant comfort by reducing drafts, moisture issues, and temperature swings
- Supports healthy indoor air quality by controlling airflow and moisture
- Enhances durability by preventing condensation and material degradation
In many buildings, most wasted energy comes from air leaks, poor insulation, or inefficient windows—problems with the envelope.
