  1. Insulate your attic for instant savings of up to 20%* off on your heating and cooling energy bills.

  2. Save your receipts.

  3. Claim a 30% tax credit** on your 2010 tax return.

Insulating your attic with Owens Corning insulation qualifies you for a tax credit for 30% of the cost of materials for qualifying insulation projects throughout 2010, up to a maximum of $1,500.
