Tax Credits and Rebates for Increasing R-ValueGet your buildings insulated this year. There are tax credits as well as MidAmerican Energy re

bates that can truly cut costs. Springer Professional Home Services can do no-charge energy audits with absolutely no obligation.

Here is some information on the MidAmerican Energy rebates to current gas & electric customers:

If your building has less than an R-30 value you are eligible for a rebate. If you increase youbuildings R-Value to an R-20, the rebate is $.04 cents times the added R-Value, times the numbe

of square footage. For example: Your building currently has 2.8" of insulation or an R-10 ValueAdding 3" of insulation will give you an R-20 Value. Your building has 20,000 sq. ft. of attispace. You would get $.04 x 10 (added R-Value) x 20,000 (sq. ft.) = $8,000 rebate.

In order to receive the $.04 rebate, you MUST have an Energy Audit or currently be on the EnergAudit program through MidAmerican Energy. If you fail to get the audit, your rebate will be $.0

per square foot. Springer Professional Home Services would bid and complete the above examplfor $6500, meaning your insulation is FREE if you have had the audit. And, you'll save heatinand cooling costs to boot. Your rebate cannot exceed the cost of the project.

Contact David Campbell at Springer Pest Solutions for complete details.
