To begin the rebate process, you’ll need to schedule a home energy audit with a registered energy advisor. This evaluation will assess your home’s current energy efficiency and identify potential areas for improvement, such as upgrading insulation or sealing air leaks.
Once you receive your energy report, it’s time to move forward with the recommended upgrades. Energy rebate programs require you to hire licensed professionals for all insulation work to ensure it meets program standards.
After your insulation upgrades are completed, you’ll need a post-upgrade energy audit. This second evaluation ensures the work has been done correctly and confirms the energy savings achieved.
Once your home passes the final evaluation, your energy advisor will submit the necessary paperwork to the rebate program provider, and you’ll be on your way to receiving your rebates.
After your post-upgrade evaluation and submission, you’ll receive your rebate check in the mail. The total rebate depends on the scope of the upgrades completed, but for spray foam insulation specifically, the savings can be significant.
Energy rebate programs offer tiered rebates based on the areas of your home that are upgraded with insulation. Here’s a breakdown of what you could save with spray foam insulation:
Spray foam insulation naturally improves air sealing, and you can also qualify for additional air-sealing rebates of up to $250. This is another great way to further boost your home's energy efficiency and rebate value.
Not only will you improve the comfort and efficiency of your home, but you'll also take advantage of up to $8,550 in rebates—a great return on your investment.
