Are you a San Antonio homeowner? Did you know that a significant amount of energy can escape through your roof, leading to increased energy bills and a less comfortable home environment? Fortunately, there are solutions available to address this issue, and in this blog, we’re going to explore one of the most effective and economical of all of them. Follow along as we explain how upgrading your home insulation can make a substantial difference in your energy consumption—and how you can save money on your installation by taking advantage of several little-known home rebates.
The “Escaping Energy Dilemma”: Why Attic Insulation Matters
Few people realize just how much energy can be lost through their roof. Inefficient or inadequate insulation in your attic can allow heat to escape during the winter and enter during the summer, resulting in excessive reliance on your heating and cooling systems, higher energy consumption, and, unfortunately, increased energy bills.
That's why home insulation, and attic insulation in particular, play a crucial role in maintaining energy efficiency and reducing energy waste. By improving your attic’s insulation, you can create a thermal barrier that minimizes heat transfer, allowing your home to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round.
How These Programs Work
Both the CPS and Energy Star programs discussed below are rebates. This means that these institutions will send you a check after you send them proof of having the attic insulation services performed. These programs are in no way free, but they allow you to enjoy savings once the services have been completed.
- With the CPS Home Energy Rebate program, CPS will send you up to .35 cents back per foot of insulation installed.
- With the Energy Star program, the federal government has a tax credit up to 30% of the insulation cost for a maximum of $1200. See your tax professional for details.

How You Can Save With CPS Energy
Here’s something else you might not know already: CPS Energy, a local utility provider, actually offers home energy rebates for residential customers who want to upgrade their attic insulation.
Through their program, CPS Energy incentivizes homeowners to install insulation with a higher R-value, a measure of your insulation's thermal resistance. This can help you save on your home’s new installation, as well as enjoy long-term savings on your energy bills by helping you use less energy to keep your home comfortable.
The Federal Rebate: More Ways To Save
The CPS Energy Rebate isn’t the only way that you can save on your home’s insulation. You can also take advantage of the Federal rebate program for energy-efficient home improvements to further reduce the costs of your insulation upgrade.
The Federal program, offered by the IRS, offers a 30% rebate on the purchase amount, up to $1,200, for eligible energy-efficient improvements—like home insulation upgrades that meet the program's requirements. By combining the CPS Energy rebate with the Federal rebate, you can maximize your savings and accelerate your return on investment.
