Duke Energy is expanding its Home Energy Improvement rebate program to assist Florida customers in reducing energy usage and costs during the summer months. Eligible participants can now earn up to $3,850 in rebates after completing a free online home energy check, more than double the previous year's potential savings of $1,700.
The program offers a free Home Energy Check, available online, by phone, or in person. This assessment provides a detailed report on past and current energy usage along with expert recommendations for improvements aimed at increasing home efficiency. Customers have 24 months to implement eligible recommended measures following the completion of the check.
For single-family homes, rebates include up to $1,000 for HVAC replacement, up to $800 for energy-efficient windows and attic insulation upgrades (instant rebate), up to $450 for duct testing and repair (instant rebate), and up to $800 for a heat pump (hybrid) water heater—a new rebate offering.
Manufactured homes and multifamily properties can benefit from rebates such as up to $600 back on HVAC replacement. Manufactured homes may receive up to $450 back with duct test and repair (new instant rebate), while multifamily properties can get up to $350 back on upgrading attic insulation (new instant rebate).
Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida state president, stated: “Our expanded home energy improvement rebate program is designed to help our customers make their homes more comfortable and energy efficient. Through our free energy assessments and expanded rebate programs, customers can make lasting impacts that will save energy, add value to their home and lower their bill.”
The Home Energy Check program is accessible to all residential customers who have not undergone an assessment within the last two years. This includes renters and apartment dwellers. The initiative aims to provide customers with advice on saving energy while offering incentives that enhance sustainability, comfort, and savings.
