Insulation Plus Chattanooga | TVA Quality Contractor Network Member
If your Chattanooga home’s attic insulation is below R-38, you could be losing hundreds of dollars every year in wasted energy — and right now, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is willing to give you $500 to fix it. Through the TVA EnergyRight® program, qualifying homeowners can receive a $500 cash rebate when they upgrade their attic insulation to a minimum of R-38. At Insulation Plus Chattanooga, we’re a proud member of the TVA Quality Contractor Network, which means we’re fully authorized to complete this work and handle the rebate submission on your behalf. The money goes straight to you — no hassle, no red tape.
What Is the TVA $500 Attic Insulation Rebate?
The TVA EnergyRight® program is a regional energy efficiency initiative designed to help Tennessee Valley homeowners reduce their energy consumption and lower their monthly utility bills. As part of this program, TVA is offering a limited-time $500 cash rebate for homeowners who upgrade their attic insulation to at least R-38 — the level recommended by the EPA and TVA for optimal thermal performance in our climate.
To qualify, the work must be completed by a vetted member of the TVA Quality Contractor Network. You can learn more about the program directly on the TVA EnergyRight Insulation & Air Sealing Rebate page. Insulation Plus Chattanooga is an approved QCN member — meaning we do the paperwork and you collect the check.
The EPA estimates that as many as 9 out of 10 homes are under-insulated. If your home was built before the late 1990s — or even more recently — there’s a strong chance your attic insulation is well below R-38. Whether you currently sit at R-11, R-19, or R-30, TVA will pay you $500 to bring it up to code. That’s money back in your pocket just for making a smart, lasting investment in your home.
How We Install Attic Insulation the Right Way
At Insulation Plus Chattanooga, we don’t just blow in insulation and call it a day. Our installation process is thorough, professional, and built to maximize both your energy savings and the longevity of the work. Here’s what a typical attic insulation upgrade with us looks like:
• Air Sealing First: Before a single inch of insulation is added, we seal the gaps. Attic bypasses — around recessed lights, electrical boxes, plumbing penetrations, and top plates — are among the biggest sources of energy loss in a home. We use professional-grade caulk and spray foam to seal these hidden leaks, stopping conditioned air from escaping into your attic 24/7. Air sealing alone can dramatically improve your home’s comfort and efficiency, and it also qualifies for an additional $300 TVA rebate.
• Attic Hatch & Door Insulation: Most homeowners overlook the attic access hatch entirely. Without an insulated cover, it’s essentially a thermal hole in your ceiling. We insulate and weatherstrip attic doors and pull-down stair covers to eliminate this common energy drain.
• Baffle Installation: Proper attic ventilation is just as important as insulation. We install rafter baffles (also called vent chutes) along the eaves to maintain clear airflow from soffit vents to the ridge. This prevents moisture buildup, protects your roof deck, and ensures your insulation performs as intended year-round.
• Blown-In Cellulose or Fiberglass Insulation: Once air sealing and baffles are in place, we bring your attic up to R-38 using blown-in cellulose or blown-in fiberglass insulation — whichever is best suited for your home. Both materials are excellent at filling irregular spaces, covering joists, and delivering consistent coverage across the entire attic floor. Our crews are trained to achieve proper depth and density throughout, ensuring you hit R-38 uniformly — not just in easy-to-reach spots.
Why Attic Insulation Pays for Itself
Chattanooga summers are brutal. Our winters aren’t exactly mild either. That means your HVAC system is running hard for a significant portion of the year — and if your attic isn’t properly insulated, a large portion of that energy is escaping straight through your roof. According to the EPA, proper insulation and air sealing can lower your energy bills by up to 15%. For many Chattanooga homeowners, that translates to real, measurable savings every single month.
Beyond the energy savings, a properly insulated attic also means more consistent temperatures room to room, less strain on your HVAC equipment, and improved indoor air quality. Add the $500 TVA rebate on top, and upgrading your attic insulation becomes one of the highest-return home improvements you can make.
