Whether you own or rent, Epic Homes is here to guide you through your energy efficiency journey so you can maximize on all the benefits of this program. In other words, we are here to help you succeed in making your home more comfortable, healthy, and energy efficient!

*Please note: To ensure you get the rebates you qualify for, you will want to schedule a free energy advising session or discounted ($60) in-home energy assessment through Efficiency Works™ Homes before making improvements. You are never obligated to make improvements after an advisement or assessment.

Fort Collins Utilities is committed to a clean energy future. One of the ways we are going to get there is by going electric. Epic Homes provides several resources to help make the transition to clean heating, cooling and water heating easier.  

Electrification can improve indoor air quality and lower our community’s carbon footprint. Epic Homes connects Utilities' customers to energy advising and low-cost energy assessments, rebates and attractive loans to make a clean energy future a reality. Through Epic Homes, you can make decisions on how to best make home performance upgrades to prepare for your journey to electrify.

Learn About Going Electric

Most of our lives are spent indoors. When we are cooking, cleaning, showering and heating our homes, we are also impacting the quality of the air we breathe. Everyday actions have an impact on our indoor air quality and the physical health of community members.

Increasing efficiency in our homes can improve community health and well-being. Preliminary results of an ongoing Colorado State University (CSU) study show the following potential impacts of home energy efficiency upgrades:

• Reduced energy costs
• Improved perception of home
• Improved comfort
• Fewer outdoor air pollutants entering the home
• Better indoor air quality

The City of Fort Collins is committed to improving our community by working to create a carbon neutral, zero waste, and 100% renewable electricity future. To achieve this, the Our Climate Future (OCF) community plan has three goals:

• Reduce 2030 greenhouse gas emissions by 80% below 2005 baseline levels;
• Provide 100% renewable electricity by 2030 with grid and local sources; and
• Achieve zero waste, or 100% landfill diversion, by 2030.

The energy use in our homes and businesses account for more than two-thirds of our community emissions. By completing an Epic Home upgrade, like adding insulation or upgrading appliances, you can help contribute to OCF's vision for "Efficient, Emissions Free Buildings".
