Local know-how

What matters for insulation in Gwinnett County

01

One climate zone, many permit offices

All of Gwinnett is climate zone 3A, so the insulation minimums are the same countywide. Permits are not: unincorporated areas use Gwinnett County Planning & Development, and incorporated cities may run their own process.

02

The energy code affidavit

Gwinnett County requires a residential compliance affidavit for the Georgia State Energy Code, listing insulation R-values, before it issues a permit for a new home or addition.

03

Homes built from the 1980s to the 2010s

Lilburn and Norcross skew to the late 1980s, Buford and Duluth to the mid-1990s, Sugar Hill and Suwanee to the early 2000s and Grayson to the 2010s. The older the home, the more air sealing matters.

04

Utilities and rebates

Gwinnett homes are served by Georgia Power or one of the area EMCs. Georgia Power customers can use the Home Energy Improvement Program, and Jackson EMC runs its own insulation rebate for members.
