The Hidden Key to Rebates: How Soffits and Fascia Can Qualify
If you’re planning to replace your aluminum soffits, fascia, or eavestroughs, there's something you should know: while there are no standalone rebates for these items, their cost can often be included as part of a larger, eligible renovation project.
Major incentive programs are designed to fund work that delivers measurable energy savings. 22 While replacing trim alone doesn’t qualify, the work can become eligible if it's essential for completing a larger energy retrofit.
Here are two ways your trim replacement could be funded:
As Part of an Insulation Upgrade: If you're adding attic insulation (a highly rebated project), you may need to replace your soffits with properly vented models to meet building codes and ensure performance. In this case, the trim work is a necessary part of the insulation project.
As Part of an Air Sealing Project: If the junction between your roof and walls is a major source of heat loss, it needs to be sealed. If your soffits and fascia must be removed and replaced to do this work correctly, their cost could be covered under the "air sealing" category of your rebate application.
The strategy is to bundle your exterior trim work with a major energy upgrade.
