Attic Insulation Upgrade -
Insulation upgrades are easy & they pay off for years to come. Over time, insulation tends to settle, becoming thinner and less effective at keeping house at optimum temperatures. Improving your insulation is an easy, cost-effective home improvement that pays off in greater comfort and lower energy bills. The correct amount and type of insulation allows your air conditioner to run less and keep the cool air from escaping. Improved insulation means less effort for your heating and cooling system. Heating and cooling account for almost half of your total energy bill.
-
Duke Energy’s qualified contractors check your attic insulation levels and can make any recommended repairs.

HVAC Replacement Rebate -
Heating and cooling account for almost half of the average total energy bill. Upgrade your system to help lower your bill and gain reliable comfort and peace of mind. Heat pump manufacturers use two rating systems to measure how effectively a unit heats or cools – the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) and Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF). The higher the numbers, the better the unit will perform lowering energy use.
