    Insulate and Seal Your Home to Save Money and Energy  

    Properly insulating and sealing a home can help reduce monthly energy bills, and make your home more comfortable. Greenprint Denver has partnered with the Colorado Energy Science Center (CESC) and the Governor’s Energy Office “2008 Insulate Colorado” program to offer cash-back rebates to qualifying homeowners in the City and County of Denver that make these energy-efficient improvements to their homes.

    The rebates will be issued for the installation of either attic or exterior wall insulation and basic air sealing measures, performed by an approved contractor (do-it-yourself projects are not eligible).

    The rebate will cover 20% of the total cost of insulation and air sealing upgrades or $300, whichever is less. Rebates will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until program funding is exhausted. This is a limited time offer, with funding for approximately 100 rebates. Rebates are not guaranteed.

    		  
     
    How Do I Participate?  

    Homeowners must be residents of the City and County of Denver and submit the following documentation to the Colorado Energy Science Center (see complete Program Guidelines below):

    1. A completed Insulate Colorado Homeowner Rebate Request Form (click here for PDF)
    2. A copy of the contractor’s invoice showing total job costs and measures installed.
    3. After the installation is completed, an “Insulation Card” will be provided by the installer to demonstrate to CESC/GEO that sufficient insulation was applied to the area. You will need a copy of the official “Insulation Card” demonstrating the amount of insulation added.

    Rebates will be paid by the Colorado Energy Science Center to the homeowner on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information on the program please visit: http://www.energyscience.org
