GRU's Rebate Program
Added Insulation Rebate
This rebate is to encourage the installation or addition of insulation in existing single family homes and small businesses.
Insulation slows down the amount of heat that flows out of or into a home and reduces the amount of energy used by the heating and cooling systems to maintain a comfortable temperature. Adding additional insulation in an attic when existing levels are inadequate can reduce heat transfer and help to lower energy bills.
Eligibility: Must be a GRU electric customer
Residential/Small Business: $ 0.125 per square foot of insulation up to $375 Rebate
Eligibility/Requirements
- Valid only on existing air conditioned homes and small businesses
- Minimum addition of R-19 insulation (batting, blanket, board, sprayed-on or blown-in) to existing attic levels or minimum addition of R-11 insulation (batting, blanket or board form) to existing raised flooring levels
