Up to 40% of a home’s heat loss takes place due to inadequate insulation. Insulation levels are specified by R-Value, which is a measure of insulation's ability to resist heat traveling through it.
The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. The R-value of thermal insulation depends on the type of material, its thickness, and density.
Attic insulation rebate
- $0.15 per square foot on R-30 (or better)
Wall insulation rebate
- $0.15 per square foot on R-13 (or better)
Utility rebates of $0.15/sq. ft. add up to about $180 for the average home. With proper insulation, you could save about $18 monthly (or up to 25%) on your winter heating costs.
To get the biggest savings, the easiest place to add insulation is in the attic. When adding insulation to your house, it is important to first evaluate how much and what type of insulation you currently have in your attic.
