Keeping your home comfortable shouldn’t mean overpaying on energy bills. In North Central Connecticut, a Home Energy Audit is one of the smartest ways to uncover hidden inefficiencies and unlock valuable rebates. Whether it’s insulation, air sealing, smart thermostats, or duct sealing, these upgrades can make a noticeable difference in how your home feels—and what you spend to heat and cool it.
Insulation is your home’s first line of defense against temperature swings. Without it, warm air escapes in winter and cool air leaks out in summer—forcing your heating and cooling systems to work overtime. A Home Energy Audit identifies where insulation is missing or underperforming, especially in attics, walls, and basements.
Rebate Opportunity: Connecticut programs may offer up to certain amounts per square foot for professionally installed insulation, depending on eligibility and funding availability. Income-qualified households may receive enhanced benefits. Always confirm current program details before starting work.
Drafts around windows, doors, and framing can make rooms feel chilly even when the heat is on. Air sealing targets these leaks, using caulk and weatherstripping to tighten up your home’s envelope. It’s a simple fix with big results.
Rebate Opportunity: Air sealing is often included in the Home Energy Solutions (HES) audit program, which may be offered at a reduced cost or even free for qualifying households. Availability can change, so check before scheduling.
A smart thermostat learns your schedule and adjusts temperatures automatically—keeping you comfortable while saving energy. It’s a small upgrade that pays off quickly.
Rebate Opportunity: Connecticut residents may qualify for rebates on ENERGY STAR® certified Wi-Fi thermostats. These incentives vary and are subject to program funding.
Leaky ducts can waste a significant amount of heated or cooled air, sending it into walls or crawlspaces instead of your living areas. Aeroseal duct sealing uses a safe mist to seal leaks from the inside, improving airflow and comfort.
Rebate Opportunity: Advanced duct sealing rebates may be available for qualifying homes, with higher incentives for income-eligible households. Program details and amounts can change, so verify before scheduling.
Connecticut is preparing to launch two major rebate programs under the Inflation Reduction Act:
These programs will provide whole-home rebates for insulation, air sealing, and energy-saving upgrades. Funding and eligibility requirements will vary, so watch for official announcements.
