Advanced duct sealing rebate

October Windstorm

We understand the stress and disruption that power outages can cause and we appreciate your patience as we work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

Crews have made excellent progress, and we expect the majority of customers to have power restored overnight. There will be some customers, mostly in Pierce and Thurston Counties, where it will take longer to restore power. Areas of focus in Thurston County include Boston Harbor, Pattison and Black Lake, downtown and southeast Lacey. In Pierce County, crews are patrolling lines serving Carbonado and Wilkeson, removing downed trees and restoring power. Crews are also working in the Rhodes Lake area, where damage is still considerable.

The outages that are likely to remain into tomorrow will affect smaller, more localized, groups of customers. These take time to repair as crews go from site to site to make repairs and restore power. Crews will continue to work around the clock until power is restored to all customers.

We are also watching the weather forecast and the potential for strong winds tonight in East King and Pierce counties. High winds could increase the number of outages or might delay current restoration efforts if conditions are not safe for our crews to continue to work for a period of time.

What is advanced duct sealing?

Advanced duct sealing is a non-toxic, non-invasive method of coating the inside of your home’s vents and ductwork with a water-based, organic product that seals cracks and holes. By preventing air from escaping before it reaches your living spaces, you can improve the performance of your heating and cooling systems and lower your monthly bill.

Advanced duct sealing is safe and frequently used to improve building efficiency in hospitals, schools, businesses, military facilities and more.

What’s the process?

Advanced duct sealing typically takes less than one day to complete, and the process is simple:

Schedule a preliminary appointment with a certified PSE Trade Ally who will inspect your home and HVAC equipment to determine whether advanced duct sealing is right for you.
If you move forward, your contractor will block open vents and registers throughout your home to pressurize your heating system. Then they’ll block off internal components of your HVAC equipment for protection.
The sealant will then be distributed throughout your home’s duct system. While monitoring the sealing process, your contractor can show you real-time results.
Upon completion, you’ll be provided with a before-and-after analysis showing your home’s air leakage reduction.

How you qualify

You must use a PSE Trade Ally who is Aeroseal-certified to complete the installation. You may not use an out-of-network contractor.
The customer receives the rebate through the contractor as an instant rebate at the point of sale. PSE does not pay advanced duct sealing rebates directly to the customer.
You must be a PSE residential customer, AND either:

Use PSE electricity for your home’s primary heating through ductwork OR
Use PSE natural gas for your home’s primary heating through ductwork

PSE powered heating must be delivered through the ductwork that needs sealing.
For dual fuel hybrid systems (heat pump with natural gas furnace), the heat pump is considered your primary heating source.
You must live in a single-family home (four units or less).
Your home’s ductwork pre-leakage must be ≥200 CFM at 50 pascals or the equivalent (≥125 CFM at 25 pascals); this pre-leakage test will be completed by your Aeroseal-certified PSE Trade Ally.
