Get Paid to Keep Your House Cool This Summer Get Paid to Keep Your House Cool This SummerIn the warm days of summer, getting away from the heat can be a huge relief. It can also be expensive with highs in the upper 90s and low100s. Louisiana residents, however, can consider themselves lucky. There are local programs in place that will reimburse you for weatherizing your home. Additionally, there are several federal programs that offer 10% of costs spent improving home efficiency back in the form of tax credits. These programs literally pay you money for spending money!

Spray foam insulation can improve a home’s efficiency by up to 40% in most cases, and even more in severe instances. With an energy audit from Star Spray Foam Systems, a professional in the field of building science will be able to determine where your current cooling system is inefficient. Using this information, problem areas can be repaired, and an estimate of the home’s potential improvement can be made. Once applied, spray foam will make your air conditioner run much less, while keeping your home as cool as you want it to be. A 30% upgrade in efficiency qualifies you for a $2,000 rebate via the HERO Program, in Louisiana.

The rebate from HERO, coupled with the tax credits from the U.S. Government, can add up fast. Some people will be eligible for up to $12,000 in rebates and tax credits. For those of us who really love money, there’s even more you should know. When installed properly, spray foam insulation can shave off up to 50% of your electric bill. With so much money to be had, who could afford not to start saving?

When it comes to rebates and tax credits, there can also be some hassles, like the paperwork. With the energy audit from Star Spray Foam Systems, a professional with the Department of Natural Resources’ Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) designation, and Building Performance Institute (BPI) Science Certification will process all the rebates and tax incentives for you, at the state, federal and local levels. This means you won’t have to worry about doing any paperwork. Instead, you can focus on reaping the benefits of spray foam insulation.
