Insulate and Seal Rebates Now Available!
Properly insulating and sealing a home can help reduce monthly energy bills and make your home more comfortable.
Smart Energy Living Alliance has partnered with Greenprint Denver and the Governor's Energy Office's 2008 Insulate Colorado program to offer cash-back rebates to qualifying homeowners in the City and County of Denver.
The rebates will be issued for the installation of either attic or exterior wall insulation and basic air sealing measures, performed by an approved contractor (do-it-yourself projects are not eligible).
The rebates cover 20 percent of the total cost of insulation and air sealing upgrades or $300, whichever is less. Rebates will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until program funding is exhausted. This is a limited time offer, with funding for approximately 100 rebates. Rebates are not guaranteed.
Take it to the Next Level-– Get a Comprehensive Home Assessment (CHA)
The Smart Energy Living Alliance is offering a comprehensive home assessment (CHA) in conjunction with the Insulate and Seal program. The comprehensive home assessment uses diagnostic equipment such as a blower door to help evaluate the performance of a home. This comprehensive approach to home improvement provides homeowners with direct and relevant information to help make improvements to the homes energy performance, comfort, and health and safety.
This house assessment, normally a $500 value, is free to homeowners who install $1,500 worth of energy efficiency measures, including insulation and air sealing. By combining these promotions homeowners can save up to 40% on home energy upgrades.
