Overview

Good Cents means great value. Today's home contains twice as many electrical outlets and consumes twice the power of a comparable 1950s model. That's a lot of energy.

The GoodCents program is the oldest and largest energy-efficient home certification program in the country. It was developed in 1976 to encourage builders to construct energy-efficient homes. Since that time, more than 750,000 GoodCents homes have been built across the country. And that number continues to grow by 60,000 a year. GoodCents Homes make good sense for everyone: The builder, the realtor, the homeowner, and the utility provider.

The incentive is available to all Duncan Power residential customers.

• Efficiency ratings must be verified by the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) directory. The manufacturer's tested rating will be used for larger systems not found in ARI.
• A complete residential energy audit must be accomplished before payment can be made or credited.
• All installations must be inspected and approved by City of Duncan Code Enforcement inspectors prior to payment or credit.
