Duct Leak Repair Rebate

Lower your bill and improve the comfort of your home or business

Duct leaks cause a significant increase in air-conditioning energy use. Leaks in joints between ductwork and around air-handler cabinets allow expensive conditioned air to escape into attics. Leaky ductwork makes heating and cooling systems work longer and harder to maintain comfort in a home. Leaks can also cause negative pressure in the house which can allow moisture and, in some instances, carbon monoxide to enter into the home.

Rebate Offer

Residential: Up to 50 percent of cost of repairs up to $375. Additional $40 if paired with Central A/C Maintenance Rebate.

Small Business: Up to 50 percent of cost of repairs up to $375.
