Important! Rocky Mountain Power's planned changes to the incentives and equipment qualifications associated with our energy efficiency program have been approved and are effective August 20, 2012.

Seal and insulate your ducts and you could start lowering your energy bills today. Often concealed in walls and between floors, your home's ducts are easy to overlook. Poorly sealed ducts can leak heated or cooled air, reducing your system's efficiency by as much as 20 percent and unnecessarily increasing your electricity bill. With sealed and insulated ducts, you can make your home more comfortable and save money on your electricity bill.

Energy Saving Benefits

  • Increase the efficiency of your heating and cooling system by up to 20 percent

Environmental Benefits

  • Promote clean air by using less electricity to maintain a comfortable home
  • Avoid harmful greenhouse gas emissions through reduced electricity use

Getting Started

Prior to starting a project, find a contractor using the Idaho Participating and Program Qualified Contractors list. Note that select incentives must be completed by a Participating Contractor. Review the Incentive Application with your contractor to determine eligibility requirements, incentive qualifications and review the list of required documents to submit for an incentive.

Incentive Application and required documents must be received within 90 days of the purchase or completed installation. Incentive checks are issued within 45 days of receipt of the completed and approved Incentive Application. Incentives are not to exceed the purchase price of the equipment or service. Equipment and service work may be inspected for compliance. Incentives are subject to tariff approval and may change with 45 days notice. Additional terms and conditions may apply.
