APS Duct Testing and Repair Rebate Program


The APS Duct Test and Repair Program offers rebates up to $250 for APS customers to have a Building Performance Institute (BPI) Certified Contractor test and repair air leaks in their heating/cooling duct system.

How You Can Benefit

If you are like most homeowners, as long as your cooling and heating system is keeping you comfortable, you usually don't give it much thought. But what you don't see could be costing you a lot of money each year. Most duct systems are installed in attics or building cavities where they are rarely seen or inspected. The results of a recent APS study on duct leakage found:

  1. BulletAs much as 33 percent of a heating/cooling system's airflow could be leaking through the ducts, causing a loss of comfort and cooling capacity.

  2. BulletThe impact is most severe in ducts installed in attics where temperatures can exceed 140 degrees in the summer.

  3. BulletOn average, almost 15 percent of cooling energy is wasted due to duct leakage. While there will always be some duct leakage, homes with properly sealed ducts can often have leakage reduced to 3 to 5 percent.

By having a BPI Certified Contractor test your duct system and repair leaks, you'll use energy more efficiently, save money every month, and make your home more comfortable. Using energy more efficiently also reduces greenhouse gases and helps preserve our environment.
