IDAHO POWER Maybe there are no bats in your belfry but do you know what’s up in your attic? Your energy use could be going through the roof in more ways than one. By upgrading your attic insulation you can help reduce the cost. And now, with Idaho Power’s Home Improvement Program, you can even make money: Idaho Power offers a cash incentive of 15 cents per-square-foot for the professional installation of attic insulation. First, you’ll need to choose an insulation contractor (Idaho Power advises customers to get at least two bids and be sure to check references and the Better Business Bureau). Caveats for the money-back program include: It must be for attic insulation, not wall or under-floor insulation. It must be for attic insulation installed over conditioned spaces—garages do not qualify. Insulation must be professionally installed. An incentive will be paid on added attic insulation up to R-50. New insulation must increase the R-value by R-10 or greater. This applies to both batt and blow-in insulation. Only existing, single-family Idaho Power residential homes qualify, and homes must have central air conditioning or be electrically heated. For program details, visit the Idaho Power Web site, idahopower.com/homeimprovement.
