According to Energy Star®, 90% of U.S. homes are under-insulated*, meaning your home may be a good candidate for an attic insulation upgrade. The Attic Insulation Self-Assessment is a great tool to help you better understand your attic's insulation needs, and compliments our other energy efficiency rebates and programs . The assessment gathers basic information about you and your home, and provides easy step-by-step instructions on completing and submitting the assessment. After completing the self-assessment, you will receive a free personalized evaluation for attic insulation that provides you with guidance to help maximize your attic's energy efficiency potential, lower your energy bills, and increase your comfort. The self-assessment is 100% free to use, and can be accessed via your smartphone, tablet, or computer!
