If you think you may want to get one of the energy audits through your utility you're looking at a 2 month or so waiting list, so its better to call sooner than later. :)
We're going to have cellulose insulation blown in the walls/attic floor and will have some foam sheets in the crawlspace roof. We chose it because its a recycled material (paper), isn't carcenogenic (like fiberglass), and for the same thickness is a better insulator than fiberglass. They'll also use a spray foam around the perimeter of the foundation at any spot where there are things coming into the house and resulting gaps (pipes, wires, windows, etc).
The rebate for National Grid is 75% of your cost up to $2000, so since our cost is $8k, we'll max out the $2k. The Keyspan rebate differs (if your gas comes from them instead). The utility websites have a lot of good information about their programs that you can probably find if you poke around a bit. :)
