Upgrading insulation will help you save at least 10% of your home's energy cost and improve your home's comfort all year. When planning an insulation upgrade, you'll need to understand R-value, which is the measure of insulation's ability to slow the transfer of heat. Rebate amounts are calculated by the amount of R-value you're adding to your home.
Upgrade | Rebate available |
---|---|
Attic insulation $0.02 x R-value added x sq ft | Maximum $900 |
Basement/crawlspace insulation $0.09 x R-value added x sq ft | Maximum $1,200 |
Exterior wall cavity insulation $0.09 x R-value added x sq ft | Maximum $1,200 |
Exterior wall sheathing insulation $0.09 x R-value added x sq ft | Maximum $1,200 |
Other insulation $0.07 x R-value added x sq ft | Maximum $1,000 |
Once you’ve checked that your home is eligible for this program, review the following eligibility criteria for this specific rebate.
Insulation location | Min. R-Value of new insulation |
---|---|
