Common questions

How much does attic insulation cost in Grand Rapids?

No local survey exists. HomeGuide's national range is $1,000 to $2,700 for a typical attic.

Is it worth going to R-60 for the Consumers rebate?

Consumers pays $200 at R-60 versus $175 at R-49 to R-59 for gas customers. HomeGuide's national cost difference between R-49 and R-60 is about $300 to $500 per 1,000 square feet, so the bigger reason is ENERGY STAR's R-60 recommendation for this climate.

Which rebate is bigger, Consumers or DTE?

DTE's $600 flat rebate is larger than Consumers' $125 to $200, but which one you get depends on who supplies your heat.

Is there still a federal tax credit for insulation?

No. The IRS says the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit covers improvements made through December 31, 2025.
