Nationwide Insulation & Air Sealing guide

Insulation and air-sealing rebates across the U.S.

Review published weatherization incentives and the audits, measurements, and installation rules that may apply. Start with your state, then verify the controlling program source before you commit.

National context

The 2026 landscape, stated plainly

A project category can be eligible in one utility territory and unsupported across the street. These three layers must be checked separately.

Federal tax credits — ended

25C and 25D both stopped applying to work placed in service after December 31, 2025. Anything installed in 2026 gets no federal residential credit.

State programs — status varies

Some state programs are open, some are partly open, and others have not launched. Each state guide reports its own status and administering source.

Utility programs — local by design

Published offers depend on utility territory, customer class, equipment, timing, contractor rules, and available program budget. Confirm before purchase.

FAQ

Questions about Insulation & Air Sealing programs

Are insulation & air sealing rebates available in every state?

Not necessarily. Upgrade Rebates covers all 50 states, but published program availability varies by state, utility territory, customer, equipment, timing, and funding. This page currently routes to 35 state guides containing published program information for this category.

Can I rely on a displayed amount before I buy?

No. Treat every amount as a program summary, not an approval or guarantee. Confirm the current amount, budget, eligibility, pre-approval, equipment, contractor, and documentation rules with the administering agency or utility before purchase.

Are federal residential energy credits available for 2026 projects?

No. Sections 25C and 25D ended for qualifying property or expenditures after December 31, 2025. A state or utility program may still apply, depending on location and project.

Why is my state not in the program list below?

Every state has a guide, but not every guide currently contains a source-verified published measure for every project category. Use the full state directory to review your state's status and other available program information.
