Services can include insulation, air sealing, and HVAC repair or replacement through local administering agencies. Current Illinois material lists a maximum of $20,000 per eligible home for energy-related work plus up to $4,000 for health and safety measures; actual services depend on assessment, eligibility, and funding.
