What you can't see could be costing you money

The SRP Duct Test and Repair Rebate Program can help you identify those hard-to-see places in your home where energy may be escaping.

It's great to relax with a glass of iced tea, but how about relaxing and saving money?

If there are rooms in your house that you can't keep comfortable, the culprit may be leaky ducts. Ducts carry air from the central heating or cooling system to each part of your home. In a typical house, about 20% of the air that moves through the duct system is lost because of improper duct installation. Sealing up leaks can save you $200 or more in annual energy costs and improve indoor comfort.

SRP can help with our rebate program that offers up to $75 toward duct testing and up to $175 for qualified duct repairs.

Testing and repair costs

For a typical home, testing can range from $100 to $450 and repairs normally cost $300 to $1,000. Houses and equipment can vary; therefore, actual costs may be higher or lower. In the example below, we've calculated an average customer's out-of-pocket costs (including the SRP rebate) for testing and repair services.
