Adding insulation is one of the most cost-effective measures a homeowner can take to save energy and improve comfort. For eligible installations, Chelan PUD offers a rebate of 50 cents per square foot. Insulation incentives are available as follows:
-- Existing
attic insulation must be R19 or less. Customers must add insulation to achieve R38 or greater.
-- For
walls, there can be no existing insulation. Added wall insulation must achieve R11 or greater.
-- For
floors, there can be no existing insulation. Added floor insulation must achieve R19 or greater.
Customers doing the work themselves are required to take photos before and after adding insulation (where feasible), with the photos showing a ruler gauging the before- and after-depth of the insulation. These photos must be included with the rebate application.
Customers using a contractor must supply a contractor's
Certificate of Insulation.
