Available Rebate Programs for Minnesota Homeowners
Your eligibility depends on which utility provides your natural gas or electric service. Foam-Tek works with major Minnesota energy providers to maximize your available rebates.
Utility Rebates for Heating Customers
Minnesota homeowners who heat with natural gas qualify for significant rebates on insulation and air sealing work:
- Air Sealing: Up to 40% of project cost, rebates reaching $600-$750
- Attic Insulation: Up to 40% of project cost, rebates up to $1,200-$1,300
- Wall Insulation: Rebates up to $1,500 for qualifying upgrades
- Rim Joist Insulation: $125-$425, depending on scope and combination with other improvements
Rebate amounts vary by provider and project specifications. We'll identify exactly which rebates apply to your situation during your assessment.
Federal Tax Credits for Energy-Efficient Home Improvements
Beyond utility rebates, qualifying insulation upgrades earn federal tax credits through December 31, 2025:
- Insulation & Air Sealing Materials: 30% of material costs, up to $1,200 annually
- Home Energy Audits: 30% credit up to $150
- Heat Pumps & Biomass Stoves: Up to $2,000 per year
The credit has no lifetime dollar limit. You can claim the maximum annual credit every year you make eligible improvements through 2025.
Qualifying Insulation Services
Foam-Tek provides the insulation and air sealing services that qualify for these rebate programs:
Spray Foam Insulation
Closed-cell and open-cell spray foam deliver superior R-value per inch while sealing air leaks simultaneously. This dual action often qualifies for both insulation and air sealing rebates on a single project.
Attic Insulation & Air Sealing
Most Minnesota homes lose significant heat through inadequate attic insulation. We seal bypasses around plumbing stacks, electrical penetrations, and top plates before adding insulation to R-49 or higher standards. Projects must include pre- and post-blower door testing to qualify for rebates.
Wall Insulation
Uninsulated or under-insulated walls account for major heat loss in older Minnesota homes. Retrofit wall insulation qualifies for the highest rebate amounts. Homes must be improved from an insulation level of R-5 or less to R-11 or more to meet program requirements.
Rim Joist & Foundation Insulation
The rim joist area, where your floor meets the foundation, creates a thermal weak point in most homes. Spray foam rim joist insulation to R-20 minimum qualifies for add-on rebates when combined with other improvements.
