What a insulation costs in Rochester
Price depends on which areas you insulate (attic, walls, basement) and how much air sealing is needed. Ask each company for a price per area and the R-value you end up with, so quotes are easy to compare.
That could cut your cost by up to $12,000 if you qualify. Most rebates have rules (income, your current heating, a registered contractor, approval before work starts).
Rebates: our verified program data, checked monthly. Always confirm the exact amount for your home.
Talk to a home energy auditor first. Some utility programs want an audit before any work starts. See the home energy auditors we list.

Why insulation matters in Rochester
In Rochester, the average January low is -6°C (21°F), colder than 56% of the 123 cities we track. Sealing air leaks and topping up the attic usually pays back fastest here. Basement walls and rim joists are often the next biggest heat loss in older homes.
Most rebate programs pay only after an energy assessment, and some need one before the work too. Book it first.

- Ask for the R-value before and after for each area, and the material and depth they will install.
- Ask whether your rebate needs an energy assessment before and after the work, and who books it.
- Ask how they handle ventilation and any old insulation that could contain vermiculite (asbestos risk).
