Save Money. Improve Comfort. Reduce Drafts.

OTEC offers residential air sealing rebates to help member-owners improve home comfort, reduce unwanted air leakage, and lower energy use. Air sealing helps keep conditioned air inside the home, supports more consistent indoor temperatures, and can make insulation and heating systems work more effectively.

Available Air Sealing Rebates

For all rebates, complete the online rebate application and upload the required invoice and supporting documentation. If your project does not match one of the options below, contact eprteam@otec.coop to discuss whether a custom project quote may be available.

Whole-House Air Sealing and Testing

Available for existing site-built single-family homes and existing manufactured homes.
Rebate is based on the measured reduction in air leakage from before and after blower door testing.
Before and after blower door tests must be completed by a qualified technician.

Available for existing site-built single-family homes.
Two prescriptive options may qualify: attic air sealing and crawlspace air sealing.

For whole-house air sealing, include pre- and post-sealing blower door results (contractor provides).
