If your attic is leaking air, your house is bleeding money. Period.
The good news is that 2026 brings serious utility-funded rebates for income-eligible homeowners in Maryland and Washington, DC, and attic upgrades are one of the highest-impact ways to qualify.
EDGE Energy has been doing this for 19 years. We do not guess. We do not sell fluff. We help homeowners lock in rebates, fix real problems, and lower bills for the long haul.
What Rebates Are Available in 2026
Maryland
Income-eligible homeowners may qualify for up to $15,000 through a combination of:
- Maryland Energy Assistance Program support
- Healthy Homes style improvements
- Utility-backed energy efficiency incentives
These funds commonly cover:
- Attic insulation upgrades
- Air sealing and bypass sealing
- Ventilation corrections
- Health and safety related efficiency fixes
Washington, DC
Eligible DC homeowners may qualify for up to $5,000 in utility incentives for attic and building envelope improvements.
No gimmicks. These are real programs with real money, but they require proper documentation, testing, and approved contractors.
That is where most people get stuck.
Why the Attic Is the First Place to Look
Your attic is usually the biggest source of energy loss in a home.
Heat escapes upward. Cold air leaks in. Moisture builds up. Comfort drops. Bills climb.
A proper attic evaluation looks at:
- Insulation levels and coverage
- Air leakage paths
- Duct and top-plate sealing
- Moisture and ventilation issues
If those problems exist, rebates are often available to fix them.

Who Typically Qualifies
You may be eligible if:
- Household income meets state or DC guidelines

- You own and occupy the property
- You want long-term energy savings, not a short-term patch
If you are not sure, that is normal. Most homeowners are not. We walk you through it.

- Up to $5,000 in DC
- Attic upgrades are one of the fastest ways to qualify
