What stacks on top for Xcel Energy customers
Under HEAR's published caps, air sealing shares the $1,600 insulation/air-sealing/ventilation allowance for income-qualified households.
Save Energy MN has not launched and its amounts are provisional. HEAR cannot pay retroactively; timing the project matters if your household is income-qualified. Published planned caps for this measure: HEAR up to $1,600.
Air sealing belongs before mechanical upgrades for the same reason as insulation: it shrinks the load, qualifies for envelope rebates now, and feeds the whole-home savings that HOMES will pay on later. Blower-door test documentation is worth keeping for any future HOMES claim.

Get a air sealing estimate from a contractor who knows the rebates
Free to you — one licensed Minnesota contractor gets your request and quotes the project with the rebate stack applied. Participating contractors pay to receive estimate requests; that never changes your price.
Get one email the day the $14,000 rebates launch
Save Energy Minnesota has no launch date, and starting work early can forfeit the money — HEAR can't pay retroactively, and the state can't guarantee earlier HOMES projects will qualify. We watch the Commerce page so you don't have to — you'll know the day it goes live, with your tier and the official link. We never sell your email.
