Rebates are step one
Once you know what Florida pays, here's the rest of the path: what order to do the work in, and what belongs on a fair quote.
What order to do it in
Envelope first, equipment second — how to sequence a retrofit to your budget and your rebates' deadlines.
How to read a quote
What belongs on a heat pump or insulation quote, and the red flags that mean keep shopping.
What attic insulation costs
Per-square-foot prices by material, and why this is the work rebate programs subsidize hardest.

Anna Paulina Luna On Climate & Energy: Where the Candidates Stand
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the Republican running to represent Florida's 13th Congressional District, has a voting record that touches on several programs homeowners use for energy upgrades. She voted for the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act, which would eliminate the federal high-efficiency electric home rebate program (HEAR), a training program for energy efficiency contractors, and a grant program that helps states update building energy codes. She also voted for a bill that would weaken appliance efficiency standards and another that repeals energy efficiency requirements for federal buildings. Luna opposes offshore wind development off Florida's coast and has pushed for a federal report on wind energy's downsides. She rejects the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change and has received $128,078 in fossil fuel industry donations, the third-highest amount among Florida's congressional delegation, according to the Center for American Progress. She favors expanding oil and gas production, including restoring leases and reviving the Keystone XL pipeline, and has voted to prioritize fossil fuel power projects over renewable ones in grid planning. She does support nuclear power as a clean baseload source. On electric vehicles, she has voted to roll back tax credits for EVs and charging infrastructure and has sponsored legislation blocking stricter tailpipe emissions rules. Her campaign materials do not address energy affordability specifically. If any of these federal programs or rebates currently factor into your own upgrade plans, it's worth watching how this race and related legislation develop.
Byron Donalds On Climate & Energy: Where the Candidates Stand
Byron Donalds, the Republican candidate for Florida governor, has a record that touches several issues homeowners care about around energy costs and upgrades. He has called wind and solar an "energy fantasy" and favors nuclear power instead, including smaller nuclear reactors to power data centers. In Congress, he voted for a bill that would block the Department of Energy from setting new efficiency standards for home appliances, and he has supported fossil fuel power projects over renewable ones in federal energy rules. On utility bills, Donalds has opposed a proposal from his opponent, David Jolly, to cap the guaranteed profit margin utilities earn on new infrastructure, arguing that caps lead to worse grid service. Tracking by the nonprofit CLEO Institute shows he has received $1.79 million in campaign contributions from Florida's major power utilities, the second-highest amount among state officials. He has also worked with Florida Democrats to push for the state's full share of federal home energy assistance funds for low-income and senior households struggling with utility costs. Donalds supports more data centers in Florida, backed in part by $5 million from data center developers, and favors pairing them with small nuclear reactors and closed-loop water systems. He does not see a strong link between climate change and extreme weather. For homeowners, his positions suggest less federal pressure for appliance efficiency rules and a preference for nuclear and gas power over rooftop solar and wind as the state's energy future.
David Jolly On Climate & Energy: Where the Candidates Stand
David Jolly, the Democratic candidate for Florida governor, is campaigning on expanding renewable energy and lowering utility bills. He wants to require public utilities to add more solar and wind power to the grid and says this would cut dependence on imported natural gas, which currently supplies about three-quarters of Florida's electricity. He also wants to appoint regulators to the Public Service Commission, the state body that oversees utility rates, who would push companies toward cleaner power sources. On costs, Jolly has proposed capping the "return on equity" utilities are allowed to collect from customers — essentially a guaranteed profit margin built into rates — at the national average, around 9.7%. This comes after regulators approved a $6.9 billion rate increase for Florida Power & Light with a 10.95% return on equity. Jolly argues that adding more in-state solar and battery storage would also protect homeowners from price swings tied to out-of-state gas supplies. He accepts mainstream climate science, pointing to projections of 22 to 26 inches of sea level rise on Florida's Gulf Coast by 2050 and rising hurricane intensity. Jolly has also called for an immediate statewide pause on new data center construction, citing strain on water supplies, the power grid, and local communities. None of this amounts to a specific program homeowners can use yet — it's a campaign platform ahead of the November 3 election, where Florida's governor's race could shape future utility regulation and clean energy policy.
