Building Envelope Solutions
We help National Grid customers with the assessment, the paperwork and the installation for Total Home Comfort insulation upgrades. National Grid has paused new Total Home Comfort applications at times, so call us to confirm what’s open right now. If it’s paused, we’ll match your home to NYSERDA Comfort Home or EmPower+ instead.

Federal tax credit (25C)
The federal 25C credit ended for work placed in service after December 31, 2025, so we don’t count on it in new estimates.

HOW IT WORKS
From Assessment to Installation
We handle the entire rebate process so you don’t have to.
1. Free Energy Assessment
We evaluate your insulation levels, identify air leaks, and determine which rebate programs you may qualify for. Completely free.
2. Rebate Application
We submit the application on your behalf — all paperwork, measurements, and documentation handled by us.
3. Approval & Scheduling
Once approved, we schedule your installation at a time that works for you.
4. Professional Installation
Our licensed crew installs the insulation — typically completed in one day. We protect your home and clean up completely.
5. You Pay Only Your Portion
The utility pays their rebate share directly. You only pay the remaining balance after all rebates are applied.
COVERED INSULATION
What Types Are Typically Covered?
Rebate programs generally cover several insulation types. We’ll recommend the right one during your free assessment.
Spray Foam
Best for air sealing and maximum energy savings. Open cell (R-3.7/inch) or closed cell (R-6.5/inch).
Blown-In Cellulose
Ideal for attics and enclosed wall cavities. Eco-friendly and cost-effective.
Fiberglass Batts
Budget-friendly option for open wall cavities and attic floors.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a rebate approved?
Approval timelines vary by program but typically take 1-3 weeks. We submit everything on your behalf so there’s nothing for you to do except wait for approval.
Can I combine rebates from different programs?
In many cases, yes. We check every available program and help you stack rebates when allowed. This is one of the biggest advantages of working with an approved contractor who handles multiple utility programs.
Do I need to pay the full amount upfront?
This depends on the program. In many cases, the utility pays their share directly, so you only pay your portion. We’ll explain exactly how payment works for your specific rebate during your free estimate.
What if I have Con Edison gas instead of National Grid?
Con Edison offers its own insulation rebate programs. We’re approved contractors for both utilities. Learn about multifamily building incentives and eligibility at Con Edison Multifamily insulation rebates, or call us to determine which program path fits your utility provider.
Are rebate programs always available?
Rebate programs are funded annually and can change, pause, or run out of funding. We recommend acting when programs are available — call (347) 200-5089 to check current availability.
Is there an income requirement?
Most standard utility rebate programs have no income requirement. However, income-qualifying programs like NYSERDA’s EmPower+ may cover a larger portion of costs for eligible households. We check all programs during your free assessment.
