Duct Sealing

Are you paying to heat your home or your crawl space? If your ducts are leaky, you might be doing both. Our duct sealing program can help you find and fix leaky ducts.

If your ducts are leaky, sealing them will cut energy waste, improve air quality, and lower your energy bills, and you can earn a PUD rebate for the project. Learn more by reading our Duct Sealing Information Flyer (PDF).

Eligible Customers

All PUD customers with forced-air electric furnaces or heat pump systems are eligible.
Your home may be a site-built dwelling or a manufactured home.
Duct sealing projects that are completed by a Performance Tested Comfort Systems (PTCS) Certified Residential Air Distribution Systems Technician will qualify for this rebate.

About Duct Sealing

Your air ducts are one of the most important systems in your home, and if the ducts are poorly sealed they are likely to leak. In homes with forced-air heating and cooling systems, ducts are used to distribute conditioned air throughout the house. In a typical home, however, about 20 to 30% of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts.

Duct Sealing Incentives

Quality Assurance – PTCS technicians have been trained to identify duct system problems and ways to fix them.

Rebates – We offer rebates to customers who have their duct systems sealed and certified by a PTCS Certified Technician. Rebate amounts are $250 for site-built homes with electric heat, and $200 for manufactured homes with electric heat.
