Focus on Energy Rebates
Accurate-Airtight Exteriors is a proud partner with Focus on Energy. Focus on Energy offers homeowners air sealing and insulation rebates if they choose to weatherize their home. Certain requirements and qualifications must be met in order to qualify for the rebates, however. Focus on Energy Materials and Installation (M & I) Standards must be followed when a project is completed. Projects of a certain size qualify for rebates, while others do not. For example, a wall insulation project done must be 600 sq. ft. or larger and begin with an effective insulation R-value of zero to qualify.

HOMES and HEAR Programs
The federal IRA rebates consist of two programs: the Home Efficiency Rebate Program (HOMES) and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate Program (HEAR). Both programs operate under the federal IRA law. For homeowners who complete energy efficiency work, rebates and tax credits may be applicable. Depending on the type of the efficiency work, however, changes the program where you receive the money from. For example, a homeowner who chooses to complete air sealing and insulation work on their home, is improving their home’s energy efficiency. This related work is given rebates from the HOMES program. On the other hand, a homeowner who choses to improve a natural gas stove to electric is also improving the efficiency of their home through ‘electrification’. This type of improvement is offered incentives through the HEAR program.
There is still much unknown of these new programs, requirements, and potential rebates but keep in mind that any work done may be eligible for additional incentives available to you to pay for the project. These are stackable rebates and can be provided to you on top of the Focus on Energy rebates as well.
Now is the time to get weatherization or other efficiency work done on your home!
