Residential Roof Insulation and Air Sealing Rebates

Roof Insulation

What is the PGW EnergySense Residential Roof Insulation & Air Sealing Rebate?

PGW offers cash rebates to eligible residential customers who install Roof/Attic Insulation & Air Sealing and use natural gas for their primary space heating. The rebates are determined by:
  1. the square footage of the installation area,
  2. the finished R-value of the insulation, and
  3. whether air sealing was performed along with the roof insulation.
The insulation must be installed by a Building Performance Institute (BPI) certified contractor. Customers can receive the rebate in the form of an ‘instant discount’ if the insulation is installed by a PGW EnergySense Participating Contractor. Please note that customers may still receive a rebate if the insulation is installed by a BPI certified contractor that is not on the list of Participating Contractors; however, only PGW EnergySense Participating Contractors are approved to issue rebates in the form of instant discounts. Additional information for customers can be found below.

REBATE APPLICATIONS FOR HOMEOWNERS

PGW customers can apply for Residential Roof Insulation & Air Sealing Rebates if the installation meets the criteria outlined in the table below.

If your insulation was installed by a PGW EnergySense Participating Contractor and you have already received the rebate in the form of an instant discount from that contractor, you may not receive another rebate for the same installation from the PGW EnergySense program.

Information for Contractors

PGW is working with local insulation and air sealing installation companies to assist residential customers interested in making energy-saving upgrades to their homes. PGW will offer a cash rebate to customers who install roof insulation and air sealing in their homes. Participating Contractors are approved by PGW to offer “instant rebates” to customers – PGW will then reimburse those verified costs by paying out the rebates directly to the Participating Contractor. Participating Contractors will be listed on the program website (www.PGWEnergySense.com) so customers can connect with them easily.
