Cash For Caulkers

By Duct Cleaning Portland on July 31, 2010

I was presented this article and I thought was pretty interesting…
Cash for Caulkers is on the way. The bill has already been approved by the House of Representatives and today, July 28th, Senator Harry Reid will present the bill in the Senate.

This is great news for both homeowners and contractors. The bill provisions $6 billion for energy-efficient or “green” retrofits. It is expected to fund renovations for 3 million families, create 168,000 new jobs and save consumers $9.2 billion on energy bills over the next 10 years.

But in order to cash in on upcoming rebates, homeowners and contractors will need to do their homework. There are 13 types of retrofits eligible for funding and each has unique eligibility requirements and rebate amounts. Some are straightfoward and easy to understand. For example, homeowners can receive a $50 rebate for installing 5 or more storm windows or doors. The eligibility details for this retrofit are listed as:

“Must be installed on at least 5 existing doors or existing single-glazed windows. Must comply with any procedures that the Secretary of Energy may set for storm windows or doors and their installation.”



Others are more complex and difficult to understand. For example, to receive a rebate for replacing and sealing ductwork, homeowners must follow these guidelines:

“Sealing must be installed in accordance with BPI standards or other procedures approved by the Secretary of Energy. For duct replacement, you must replace and seal at least 50 percent of a distribution system of the home.”

In this case, homeowners should rely on the expertise of specialists like Better Air Northwest. To learn more about our services, visit our air duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning pages.

If you are interested in reading more about the bill, visit Estimating Software Advice. They have created an easy-to-read guide that lists the requirements and rebate details of the 13 types of retrofits. They also bundled similar retrofits into three packages to help those who just need to know how to get started.
