Our Small Business Efficiency Assistance Program allows qualified commercial customers to receive up to $10,000 of efficient water and energy-saving equipment installed at no cost.
Improvements can include retrofits and needed repairs for the following items:
- Ultra-high efficiency toilets
- High efficiency faucet aerators
- Pre-rinse spray valves
- High efficiency showerheads
- LED bulbs
- Smart thermostats
How it works
- Your business completes an application.
- Colorado Springs Utilities performs an energy and water assessment to identify necessary retrofits and needed leak repairs.
- The customer must be an electric customer, and/or a water customer to receive benefits.
- Colorado Springs Utilities hires a contractor to perform the identified leak repairs and retrofits for your business.
- Assessments, retrofits, and leak repairs come at no cost to you.
- We also will help you understand other ways to save energy and water at your business.
