Come Learn About New Colorado Home Energy Rebates
Come one, come all, for an evening of hanging out and hearing some home electrification experts explain how you can save a ton of money on home improvements with Colorado's new Home Energy Rebates.
Back in January, Colorado rolled out new rebates.
I applied for them as soon as I heard, got approved, and used them to get a snazzy new heat pump put in and to upgrade my electrical panel so my home's solar-ready! Here's the coolest part:
Before rebates, this project would have cost me $14,000. After the rebates, I paid $2500. And the company I went with handled all the paperwork.
As someone who works for a high-quality, locally owned solar company, it was important to me to find a company that was going to treat my home right (if Carl comes to this event, ask him about the nightmare he went through with a bad company).
I ended up going with Elephant Energy, and they were awesome from start to finish:

They did such an amazing job that I invited one of the co-owners of the company to come speak for our next event at HQ! And he's bringing a friend up on stage with him.
