Overview
If your home doesn’t have adequate insulation, you may be losing up to 25% of your heating or cooling energy. Installing or upgrading your home’s insulation is one of the best investments you can make to lower your energy bill. Include air sealing and weather-stripping with your project to increase the benefits.
Rebates for insulation are equal to 20% of the total cost of the project, including installation, up to $300 for qualified projects.
Benefits
You’ll benefit from adding insulation because:
- Properly insulated homes cost less to operate and they use less energy – that’s good for the environment.
- Our rebate program lowers the initial cost of the improvement.
Who Qualifies
You qualify if you’re a customer whose primary residential heating fuel is supplied by Xcel Energy. Specifically, this means:
- If the primary heating source in your home is a natural gas furnace or boiler, then you must be an Xcel Energy residential natural gas customer to participate.
- If the primary heating source in you home is an electric baseboard or an electric boiler, then you must be an Xcel Energy residential electricity customer to participate.
