Rhode Island Insulation Tax Rebate

Why you need quality insulation

The weather in Rhode Island can be extreme — the summers are hot, and the winters are frigid. And for those reasons, quality insulation is essential. Inadequate insulation will result in higher energy costs and utility bills.

What are a few advantages of brand-new insulation?

You can significantly reduce your energy bills by improving the insulation in your house or business. Here are some additional benefits of modern insulation beyond cost savings:

Reduce drafts

Once cracks and holes in your walls are filled with quality insulation, your property will be less drafty.

Regulate humidity

Quality insulation regulates the humidity during the Rhode Island summers, so the air in your home or business feels comfortable.

Limit outside noises

If you reside in a city, close to a highway, or near a railroad track, you are aware of how noisy it is. However, you can reduce those bothersome outside noises and keep them from affecting you inside your home or business with proper insulation.

Alleviate allergy symptoms

Do you have seasonal allergies that flare up in the spring or the fall? Pollen might be to blame. But did you know that pollen can easily enter your home and aggravate your symptoms if there is poor insulation? Fortunately, pollen and other allergies can be blocked with improved insulation.

Reduce ice dams

A frequent cause of damage to homes and businesses in Rhode Island is ice dams that form on rooftops. They develop after significant snowfall on structures with inadequate attic insulation. Too much heat leaks through the roof, melting the snow and converting it into ice. As a result, water pools and freezes, creating more ice. The weight of the ice can damage or collapse the roof.

New insulation resolves this issue by restricting the movement of warm air through your attic and along your roof.

Are there any Rhode Island insulation tax rebates or incentives?

Yes! In this section, we want to highlight the many insulation incentives offered to Rhode Island residents and business owners. Although new insulation can be expensive, it shouldn’t be a barrier to making your property energy-efficient. Two programs in Rhode Island are the Rhode Island Energy Energy Efficiency Programs and Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE). 

These programs offer home energy assessments along with various rebate programs. 

Home energy assessments

Rhode Island EnergyWise home energy assessments are performed at no cost. During the process, our team will come to your property to highlight energy savings opportunities. We’ll examine your current energy usage and help you develop a plan for optimal energy efficiency. 

Our local professionals inspect your property during the assessment to find potential locations for energy-saving upgrades. We will also assist you in applying for the Rhode Island insulation rebates. We start replacing your insulation and performing other weatherization work as soon as the rebate is approved.

With the home energy assessment, you also have access to energy-efficient products at no cost. Furthermore, you are eligible for 50% or more in savings on new insulation and air sealing up to $4,000. Rebates of up to $2,750 are also available on new energy-efficient heating and cooling systems and water heaters.
