If the attic insulation in your home is less than R-16 (an index of insulation value), you may be eligible for the ceiling incentive.  Once it is recommended during your Home Energy Check, Progress Energy will pay part of the cost to upgrade your attic insulation to either R-19 or R-30. The level you choose will determine the amount Progress Energy pays. You'll receive a list of participating contractors to choose from so that you can have the insulation installed.

If your home has block wall construction you may be eligible for the wall insulation incentive.  Porous block walls are not very energy efficient allowing unwanted air and moisture into your home.  Once it is recommended during your Home Energy Check, Progress Energy will pay part of the costs towards injecting a foam material into the block wall area.
