The thing most pages get wrong

Duke's own pages give three different windows for the Home Energy Check: before the work or within the past 24 months (the prerequisites page), before installation or within six months after (the heat pump page's questions), and within 12 months after an emergency replacement (the same page, higher up). Book the check before any work starts.

Income-qualified customers

Duke funds the state's weatherization agencies to serve its customers under 200% of the 2026 federal poverty guidelines: air sealing, insulation, lighting, and heating and cooling tune-ups and repairs, free, through the local agency.
