Serving Nampa and nearby communities.

A lot of older Nampa homes were never properly insulated to begin with, and guessing at the worst heat-loss spots wastes money on foam in the wrong places. We see this most in in-town homes built before modern energy codes, where the attic might have a few inches of settled fiberglass and the crawlspace has none at all. An audit tells us exactly where the house is losing heat before we quote a single square foot of foam.

Nampa Spray Foam Insulation runs a home energy audit before recommending any insulation work, then flags which Idaho Power or Intermountain Gas programs might apply to the upgrade. This isn't a sales pitch dressed up as an inspection. The report comes with real numbers: where the leaks are, how much insulation is actually in the walls and attic right now, and what adding foam in specific spots would likely do for comfort and bills.

Rebate Program Notes

Idaho Power and Intermountain Gas have both run efficiency incentive programs for homeowners making insulation upgrades, but requirements change year to year and we don't lock in specifics on a page like this. What we can tell you is that most of these programs want documentation of the before-and-after condition: insulation depth, R-value installed, and sometimes a contractor invoice showing the work scope.

That's part of why we build the audit findings into a written report instead of a verbal walkthrough. If you're planning to apply for a rebate, having that paper trail from day one saves a lot of back-and-forth later.

FAQs

Energy Audit And Rebate Assistance FAQs

Does the energy audit cost extra?

Audits are often bundled into the free estimate process when insulation work follows. Ask when scheduling to confirm for your situation.

Are there real rebates through Idaho Power for insulation upgrades?

Idaho Power and Intermountain Gas have run efficiency incentive programs in the past. Eligibility and amounts change, so we check current program details at the time of your audit.

What does the audit actually find that I couldn't see myself?

Thermal imaging and blower door testing catch air leaks and missing insulation that aren't visible just by looking, especially in wall cavities and attic corners.

How soon can insulation work start after the audit?

Once the report and recommendation are ready, scheduling the actual foam work typically happens within a week or two depending on your calendar.

Can an online calculator replace an actual audit?

Calculators estimate based on averages. A thermal scan and blower door test find your home's actual leak points.

Do I need to be home during the audit?

Someone needs to provide access to the attic, crawlspace, and any rooms being checked, and it helps to walk through problem areas together.
