Stop energy waste. Insulate your ducts and you could start lowering your energy bills today.

Heating and cooling can account for more than half of your home's energy consumption, but you could be losing as much as 30 percent of that energy through poorly insulated ducts. When energy is lost through duct surfaces heating and central air conditioning equipment have to work harder to make up for the loss. As a result, you're spending more to keep your home comfortable.

When you add or increase the amount of duct insulation in your home you will increase the efficiency of your entire system – saving you money and ensuring consistent air temperature and comfort in every room.

To be eligible for an incentive, ductwork will need to be sealed and insulated by a participating or qualified HVAC program trade ally
