If you’re good at fixing leaks, you can qualify for a federal grant. Just remember, you get back only what you spend on materials. So, save every receipt.
In your assessment, your advisor will do a detailed check for air leakage. They’ll use a high-tech thermal camera to find both big and small leaks. You can then seal them effectively.
Post-retrofit checks help verify if the air sealing hits the target set beforehand. If it does, you become grant-eligible.
Energy Advisor creates a Renovation Upgrade Report. This document contains the information regarding your upgrades and includes things like:
