Increasing the insulation in your attic provides a stronger barrier between the inside of your home and the elements outside. When air flows through insulation, the effectiveness of the insulation is greatly reduced. For this reason, we strongly recommend that air sealing is performed prior to installation of insulation in a home. Applicability. Only retrofit installations are eligible for rebate via a post-purchase application process. Equipment Eligibility & Rebate Level. Must be installed in a qualifying space, which separates conditioned from unconditioned space. A rebate of $0.10 per square foot (surface area) of insulation installed is offered for the addition of a minimum R-18 insulation to achieve a final insulation value of R-38 or greater. Insulation is not eligible for rebate on new construction or home addition projects. Items to Submit with Rebate Application: • Dated and detailed sales receipt or invoice, indicating the R-value of insulation added and the final installed R-value of the attic insulation 3.4.13 Wall Insulation Measure Description. The Wall Insulation measure here refers to insulating the cavities between internal and external wall faces, and is one of the most effective ways to save energy through insulation. When air flows around and through insulation, the effectiveness of the insulation is greatly reduced. For this reason, we strongly recommend that air sealing is performed prior to installation of insulation in a home. Applicability. Only retrofit installations are eligible for rebate via a post-purchase application process. Equipment Eligibility & Rebate Level. Must be installed in a qualifying space, which separates conditioned from unconditioned space. Installing a minimum of R-13 insulation creating a minimum final insulation value of R-13 or greater will result in a rebate of $0.45 per square foot. Insulation is not eligible for rebate on new construction or home addition projects. There can be no existing insulation prior to installation. 13 of 19 Danville Utilities Home$ave Program Manual | Version 020420
Items to Submit with Rebate Application: • Dated and detailed sales receipt or invoice, indicating the R-value of insulation added and the final installed R-value of the wall insulation 3.4.14 Floor Insulation Measure Description. Floor insulation deals with the areas of the house covered by flooring including the floors between the stories of a home. The primary purpose of floor insulation is to reduce thermal conduction through a home’s floors, which in turn will reduce the heating/cooling energy costs. When air flows through insulation, the effectiveness of the insulation is greatly reduced. For this reason, we strongly recommend that air sealing is performed prior to installation of insulation in a home. Applicability. Only retrofit installations are eligible for rebate via a post-purchase application process. Equipment Eligibility & Rebate Level. Must be installed in a qualifying space, which separates conditioned from unconditioned space. For the installation, adding a minimum of R-19 insulation creating a minimum final insulation value of R-19 or greater will result in a rebate of $0.15 per square foot. Insulation is not eligible for rebate on new construction or home addition projects. There can be no existing insulation prior to installation. Items to Submit with Rebate Application: • Dated and detailed sales receipt or invoice, indicating the R-value added, and the final total installed R-value of the floor insulation 3.4.15 Crawlspace Insulation Measure Description. Crawlspaces are areas underneath a home and most are open to the elements and not sealed by the foundation. If the crawlspace is a conditioned area or the insulation is sprayed foam, increasing the insulation in the crawl space of a home ensures a strong barrier to prevent infiltration and energy loss through the crawl space, and additionally will protect pipes or wires being run through the space. When air flows through insulation, the effectiveness of the insulation is greatly reduced. For this reason, we strongly recommend that air sealing and rim joist sealing is performed prior to installation of insulation in a home. Applicability. Only retrofit installations are eligible for rebate via a post-purchase application process. Equipment Eligibility & Rebate Level. Must be installed in a qualifying space, which separates conditioned from unconditioned space. Adding a minimum of R-19 insulation creating a minimum final insulation value of R-19 or greater will result in a rebate of $0.15 per square foot. Insulation is not eligible for rebate on new construction or home addition projects. There can be no existing insulation prior to installation. 14 of 19 Danville Utilities Home$ave Program Manual | Version 020420
