Air Sealing & Insulation Rebates
By improving the air sealing and insulation in your home you can save on your heating and cooling costs all year long. The rebates provided by Minnesota Energy Resources help customers with natural gas heating improve the sealing and insulation in an existing home.
Although an energy-saving audit is not required, the Standard Audit does include a blower door test which will serve as the pre-blower door test required for air sealing rebates. A post-blower door test is also required to demonstrate reduction in air leakage.

We recommend that you work with an energy auditor to determine the best air sealing and insulation for your home. After the air sealing or insulation is installed, complete and submit the Air Sealing and Insulation Rebate Application.
Funding is limited and can change or end at any time. Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. The program application must be received within 60 days of installation.
