Lower your heating and cooling costs by raising your ceiling insulation to energy-efficiency standards.
For long-term, low-maintenance energy savings, it’s hard to beat a ceiling insulation
upgrade. Over time, updated insulation will save your business money and will ensure
you’re using air conditioning and heating as efficiently as possible.
Industry standards identify your insulation’s R-value as a way to measure the heat
resistance of your insulation. If you have less than an R-12 ceiling insulation, you
could be a good candidate for a Progress Energy Florida, Inc. (PEF) insulation upgrade.
Incentives for PEF ceiling insulation upgrade: • When raising your insulation to a minimum of R-19, PEF pays $75, plus
5 cents per sq. ft. above 1,500 sq. ft.
• PEF will pay $100, plus 7 cents per sq. ft above 1,500 sq. ft. to raise your
insulation to a minimum of R-30.
Don’t let your money go to waste with outdated or inefficient insulation. A ceiling
insulation check should be your first step to lowering your monthly energy bill, so
call us for a Business Energy Check today.
