Leaks in your home's central duct system can cause energy loss. Now there's a way to check for those leaks with state-of-the-art equipment. If recommended during a Home Energy Check, your home duct system can be inspected and, if leaks are found, you have the option to have them repaired. Duct repairs can result in significant savings in heating and cooling costs. Best of all, Progress Energy pays a portion of the test and repair costs.

How Do I Qualify?

1. Complete a Home Energy Check to determine if your home qualifies.  
2. Have centrally ducted electric cooling and electric heat in your home
3. Have a participating Progress Energy duct repair contractor perform work

The Duct Test procedure is simple, safe and can be completed in about one hour. Once the Duct Test is complete, you will receive a written report that includes helpful diagrams outlining problem areas and an estimate of the repair costs. If you proceed with the repairs, the duct test technician can schedule the repairs at your convenience.
