If you’re a homeowner or business owner in ConEdison’s service territory, the ConEd Weatherization Rebates program can help you improve your property’s energy efficiency while saving money. At Adaptive Insulation, we’re committed to helping you maximize the benefits of these rebates. This comprehensive guide will explain everything you need to know about eligibility, rebate amounts, and how to claim your rebate.
What is the ConEd Weatherization Rebate Program?
The ConEdison Weatherization Rebate program is part of ConEd's energy efficiency initiatives, aimed at reducing energy consumption, lowering utility bills, and improving environmental sustainability. Through this program, ConEd provides financial incentives for homeowners and businesses to install energy-efficient upgrades, such as better insulation, air sealing, and high-performance windows.
Who is Eligible for the ConEd Weatherization Rebates?
To qualify for ConEd’s Weatherization Rebates, you must meet the following criteria:
- Residency in ConEdison’s Service Area:
- You must be a ConEd electricity or natural gas customer. This includes residential, commercial, and multifamily property owners.
- Energy Efficiency Project Scope:
- Your project must involve eligible upgrades, such as insulation, air sealing, or energy-efficient windows/doors.
- Income Qualification for Enhanced Rebates:
- There are additional incentives for income-eligible customers. If your household income falls below a certain threshold, you could qualify for enhanced rebates. This is part of ConEd's effort to assist low- to moderate-income households in making energy-efficient improvements.
- Professional Installation Requirements:
- Rebates are typically awarded for work completed by licensed professionals. Adaptive Insulation can help ensure your project is compliant with ConEd’s standards.
How Much Can You Save?
The rebate amount depends on the scope of your project and your eligibility. Below is a breakdown of the typical rebate amounts:
- Insulation Rebates:
- Residential customers can receive up to $3,000 for improving insulation in attics, walls, or floors.
- Commercial customers may qualify for larger rebates, based on square footage and energy savings projections.
- Air Sealing:
- Rebates cover up to $1,000 for comprehensive air sealing, which reduces drafts and prevents energy loss.
