Attic Insulation Rebate
Charlottesville Gas offers a rebate up to $200 when you have a licensed contractor add insulation to your home’s attic.
Upgrading the insulation in your home’s attic is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase your comfort, lower your heating and cooling bills, and improve your home’s energy efficiency.
Rule your Attic!
Rule Your Attic! Energy Star® knows that 90% of American homes are under-insulated, which means 9 out of 10 U.S. homeowners are wasting money on their energy bills.* With Rule Your Attic! homeowners are encouraged to take action today and insulate appropriately to both save energy and save money. *Compared to 2006 IECC standards, Source: Boston University and NAIMA
