It was about 1k and the incentive level at the time was 75% covered by program so I only paid 25% of the total cost. Incentives have changed. I think right now only 50% of total cost is covered. If you want to be prepared by next winter, you should call for an assessment asap. The energy assessment is no cost.

Hello. Family of 3 here. Gas heat and gas hot water. I have 960sf ranch with a conditioned basement- so essentially I'm heating/cooling a 1920sf space. Insulation and air sealing was done in all my exterior walls, attic, and basement sills by RISE Engineering in 2021. The work is incentived by RIE so I only paid a portion of the total project cost.

My most recent electric bill came in at 89 and gas bill 139. I keep my tstat usually at 69/70.

My hvac system was recently upgraded to a high efficiency system. The HVAC guy told me changing your tstat temp is a waste of energy- just keep it at a constant temp between 68-70. Hope this helps.
