  • FREE programmable thermostat (valued at $120+)

  • FREE professional installation

  • FREE home energy assessment (a $550 value!)

  • FREE energy upgrades, such as:

    • LED light bulb installation

    • Low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators

    • Water heater setback

    • Weather stripping and more

More Ways to Save on Assessments

Not interested in the thermostat program? You can still benefit from deep discounts on energy assessments, thanks to funding from LPEA, Atmos Energy, and Tri-State Electric Co-op.

Energy assessment pricing:

  • FREE for Durango Residents participating in the Thermostat Replacement Program

  • $50 for households at or below 150% of Area Median Income (AMI)

  • $100 for all others

Participants will initially pay $250 at the time of the assessment, which is reimbursed through an LPEA rebate—bringing your total cost down.
