If any of this sounds familiar — the utility company will help you fix it.
You're losing money every month the utility could be helping you fix. The rebate dollars are sitting on the table — but the program pool resets and runs out.
Hot rooms & cold rooms
Bedrooms that never feel right. Heat trapped upstairs, cold pooling downstairs.
Drafts & leaks
Cool air sneaking past windows, doors, and gaps you can't see.
Top floor hottest in the house
Heat soaks into a poorly insulated attic and radiates back down all summer.
Utility bills climbing every year
Your HVAC works harder because the envelope of your house is leaking.
Every kind of insulation your home needs — funded by the utility.
The rebate program doesn't pick favorites. Attic, wall, floor, basement, draft sealing — if it makes your home more efficient, it qualifies.
Attic Insulation
The single highest-impact upgrade — and the line item the utility rebate covers most aggressively.
- Blown-in cellulose & fiberglass
- Dense-packed where R-value drops
- We add attic access if missing
- Air sealing the deck while we're up there
Air Sealing & Drafts
Stop conditioned air from leaking out around windows, walls, and penetrations.
Wall & Floor Insulation
Dense-pack assemblies for older homes. Floor insulation for crawlspaces.
Spray Foam Where Needed
Closed-cell spray foam in rim joists, bands, and tight spots. Energy Star products.
Blown-In & Batt
We carry the right product for the right cavity. No one-size-fits-all installs.
Cooler regions show heat escaping. Warmer regions show heat trapped. The picture tells us exactly where the rebate dollars go.
Your Audit Is the Gateway to the Rebate.
SMECO won't release rebate dollars without a documented home energy audit. We bring the thermal imaging cameras, run the utility bill analysis, and make the case to SMECO for you.
- Thermal imaging scan of every wall, ceiling, and crawlspace
- Utility bill analysis against weather and square footage
- Written scope of work + rebate paperwork — we handle it
- No-pressure walkthrough — you decide if and when to install
Unlike BGE, Pepco, and Delmarva, your SMECO home energy analysis is 100% free — there is no $100 audit fee.
Four steps. No utility runaround. Audit to install in two weeks for most homes.

Rebate Paperwork — We Handle It

Installed in a Day
Most homes wrap up in a single day. Crew leaves the house cleaner than they found it.
The rebate is only half the savings.
The other half shows up every month on your utility bill — for the next 20+ years.
Average homeowner cut in heating + cooling costs after a proper insulation upgrade.
Most homes' insulation install is wrapped up in a single day.
Years installing rebate-funded insulation across PA and MD.
The same people who answer the phone are the ones doing the audit.
Family-owned. Locally based. The folks below are the ones who'll be in your attic with thermal cameras, and who'll file your rebate paperwork with the utility.
We're rated five stars across the homes that matter most.
“We got 75% off our attic insulation through Empower MD. York Home Performance handled everything with the utility — we just signed the paperwork. Our upstairs is finally comfortable in August.”
“Top floor was 85° while the basement was 65°. Their thermal scan found three spots the old contractor missed. The rebate covered most of it. Wish we'd called sooner.”
“Crew was in and out in a day. The savings on our utility bill the next month told us everything we needed to know.”
Why You Can't Wait.
The rebate dollars are real. The catch is they're finite. Every season homeowners learn this the hard way — after the funds are gone.
Free Analysis Slots Are First-Come.
Because the SMECO analysis is free, demand is high and the calendar fills fast. The rebate pool is also capped annually through EmPOWER Maryland.
Every Month You Delay Costs You.
A poorly insulated home leaks heating and cooling dollars 12 months a year. Every utility bill that lands while you wait is money you can't get back.
Audit Slots Fill First.
Calendars fill weeks out as homeowners race for the rebate. The longer you wait, the further out your install pushes — and the closer the program gets to its annual cap.
The questions homeowners ask before claiming the rebate.
Claim your audit before the utility funds run out.
Every program year, the rebate pool drains. Every winter, homeowners realize they missed the window. Don't be one of them.
