Attic insulation in Kansas City
Kansas City straddles a state line, and so do its rebates. Evergy publishes a separate 2026 rebate chart for Kansas customers, with its own rates for ceiling insulation and air sealing.1
Kansas side
Evergy Kansas: $0.15 per sq ft for ceiling insulation to R-38, up to $500.1

If you're an Evergy customer in Kansas
| 2026 Evergy Kansas measure | Rebate | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Ceiling insulation, R-38 | $0.15 per sq ft | $500 |
| Air sealing | $0.04 per sq ft | $300 |
| Rim/band joist insulation (min. 50 linear ft) | — | $50 |
| Audit credit | — | $250 |
Valid for measures installed on or after January 1, 2026; maximums apply per measure through December 31, 2027.1 Not every Kansas-side home is on Evergy electric; if yours isn't, this chart doesn't apply.
If you're on the Missouri side
We couldn't verify a current (2026) Evergy Missouri insulation rebate amount, so we don't list one. Ask Evergy or an Evergy-authorized contractor what's available now. (Evergy's own Missouri chart that we found covers 2024 only.3) If Spire is your gas utility, its Missouri tariff, effective October 24, 2025, lists $0.40 per sq ft, up to $750, for reaching at least R-38; confirm with Spire.4

Choosing an attic insulation contractor in Kansas City

We list ZIPs that make up a substantial share of each community, so edge ZIPs that barely touch a town are left out, and some ZIPs span two towns.7 Not on the list?
