Rocky Mountain Power & Dixie Power Insulation Rebates: What Southern Utah Homeowners Can Actually Get in 2026

Rebate information for home insulation changes over time, and a lot of what circulates online — including on some contractor websites — is vague, outdated, or simply invented. If you're planning an insulation project anywhere from St. George to Cedar City, here's the current, honest picture: what's actually confirmed, what isn't, and what to verify before you count on a specific number.

Rocky Mountain Power's wattsmart Home insulation rebate — the real, confirmed program

For eligible Rocky Mountain Power customers — this covers St. George, Washington City, Santa Clara, Hurricane, and Ivins, subject to verifying your specific address — the wattsmart Home program offers real, dollar-amount insulation rebates: roughly $0.10 per square foot for attic insulation (electric heat or cooling), $0.65 per square foot for wall insulation (electric heat) or $0.25 per square foot (electric cooling), and $0.65 per square foot for floor insulation (electric heat) or $0.10 per square foot (electric cooling).

• Eligibility requires an existing single-family home, at least 10 years old, not manufactured housing.
• Electric heat or central cooling must serve at least 80% of the conditioned area.
• The finished project must reach R-49 (attic), R-30 (floor), and R-13 (wall) minimums.
• Submission is required within 180 days of project completion via Rocky Mountain Power's online portal.
• Approved rebates are typically paid within 14 business days.

Dixie Power: an honest answer, not an invented rebate

Dixie Power is a member-owned electric cooperative serving rural St. George-area communities and much of Iron County, including Cedar City and Enoch. As of this writing, we have not confirmed a dedicated insulation rebate from Dixie Power. They do offer confirmed member rebates for smart thermostats (up to $150 per unit, up to two) and Level 2 EV chargers (up to $300), both requiring enrollment in their Time of Day Optional Rate. We tell every Dixie Power customer this plainly rather than promising something that may not exist — and we'll update this guidance the moment that changes.

Federal programs worth asking about

The Home Owner Managing Energy Savings (HOMES) and High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate (HEEHR) programs, funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, both cover insulation and air sealing and are rolling out to Utah homeowners via Utah Clean Energy and the state energy office. HEEHR can cover up to 100% of costs (capped at $14,000 per home) for households under 80% of area median income. Because program administration and funding availability shift, we frame this as "ask about it" during your assessment rather than a guaranteed number.

How to make sure your project actually qualifies

A few practical steps protect you here. First, confirm which utility actually serves your specific address — Southern Utah's overlapping service territories make this genuinely easy to get wrong. Second, ask any contractor to show you where their rebate claims come from rather than taking a marketing number at face value. Third, keep documentation of your home's insulation condition before and after the work — most rebate programs require this, and we build it into every project from the start.

The honest bottom line for 2026

If you're an eligible Rocky Mountain Power customer in St. George, Washington City, Santa Clara, Hurricane, or Ivins, the wattsmart Home program is real, current, and worth applying for. If you're a Dixie Power member in a rural St. George-area community, Cedar City, or Enoch, we won't promise you an insulation rebate that isn't confirmed — but we will ask about federal weatherization programs on your behalf. We build every quote around current, verified program information, not outdated marketing claims. Call 844-967-5247 to get started.
