Restoration Insulation partners with EnergyRight

If you’re a homeowner in the Memphis area looking to improve your home’s comfort and lower energy bills, you may have heard of EnergyRight® — a home energy program designed to help people make smart energy decisions and maximize savings. At Restoration Insulation, we’re proud to be connected with the EnergyRight initiative and equipped to help you take full advantage of the rebates and efficiency upgrades available through it.

But what exactly is EnergyRight, how does partnering with them benefit you, and what does this mean when it comes to attic insulation? Let’s break it down.

What Is EnergyRight?

EnergyRight® is an energy efficiency program developed through a partnership between the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and local power companies. Its goal is to support homeowners and businesses in lowering energy usage, improving comfort, and ultimately reducing monthly utility bills. Customers can access tools like rebates on home energy upgrades, educational resources, and energy assessments tailored to their specific needs.

EnergyRight offers a variety of money‑saving opportunities, including rebates on insulation, air sealing, HVAC tune‑ups, energy‑efficient appliances, and more. These rebates can add up quickly and help make energy‑saving home improvements more affordable.

Why Energy Efficiency Matters in Your Home

Before we dive into the partnership specifics, it’s worth emphasizing why energy efficiency is such a big deal for homeowners:

Lower Energy Bills

Upgrades like attic insulation and air sealing reduce heat transfer through your home’s envelope. In winter, less heat escapes — which means your heating system doesn’t have to work as hard. In summer, your home stays cooler with less demand on your air conditioner. That translates into real savings on monthly utility bills.

Enhanced Comfort

Efficient homes maintain more consistent temperatures and reduce drafts and cold spots. Proper insulation and air sealing can significantly improve indoor comfort for you and your family.

Reduced Environmental Impact

Using less energy mean fewer emissions and a smaller carbon footprint. Efficiency upgrades make your home greener and more sustainable.

What the EnergyRight Partnership Means for Insulation Projects

The EnergyRight program offers rebates and incentives to help homeowners cover part of the cost for energy‑saving upgrades — including attic insulation and air sealing.

Here’s how it works:

1. Rebate Eligibility Through a Certified Contractor

EnergyRight rebates for insulation and air sealing are available — but only when the work is performed by a member of the Quality Contractor Network (QCN). This means that your contractor must be vetted, licensed, insured, and meeting EnergyRight and local utility standards.

At Restoration Insulation, we meet those standards and can help guide you through the process from start to finish. When we install attic insulation or perform air sealing as part of an eligible energy upgrade, we can submit your rebate on your behalf, simplifying the process for you.

2. Rebates on Home Insulation & Air Sealing

EnergyRight offers rebates for several improvements that directly impact your home’s energy performance:

• Attic insulation rebates — homeowners may qualify for rebates of up to several hundred dollars when upgrading or adding insulation.

• Air sealing rebates — sealing gaps and leaks in your home’s envelope further increases energy savings and comfort.

• These rebates can reduce your out‑of‑pocket expenses and make professional upgrades more affordable.

• 

Why Professional Installation Matters

Insulation and air sealing work best when installed correctly. Poor installation can lead to gaps, uneven coverage, and diminished performance — and rebates typically require verification that the work met local standards.

At Restoration Insulation, we specialize in blown‑in fiberglass insulation — a highly effective option for attics that:

• Fills gaps and hard‑to‑reach places

• Maintains long‑term R‑value (resistance to heat flow)

• Helps reduce heat loss and improve thermal comfort across seasons

Blown‑in insulation is installed using specialized equipment to ensure full, even coverage across your attic floor. When combined with proper air sealing and ventilation, this method significantly enhances your home’s energy efficiency. Our team is trained to install these systems correctly — helping you maximize performance and qualify for relevant EnergyRight rebates.

How EnergyRight Rebates Help You Save

By taking advantage of EnergyRight rebates, homeowners can:

Slash Installation Costs

Rebates reduce the upfront cost of energy improvements like insulation and air sealing — making it easier to invest in long‑term efficiency.

Boost Home Energy Efficiency

Upgrades paired with rebates lead to measurable improvements in home performance and lower monthly energy bills.

Combine Rebates with Tax Credits for Bigger Savings

EnergyRight rebates can often be combined with federal tax credits and other incentives to amplify your total savings.

Enjoy Better Comfort Year‑Round

A more efficient home stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer — keeping you comfortable without overworking your heating and cooling systems.
