Comfort SEAL
If you rely upon a heating or cooling system that uses ductwork, increase your comfort and save energy by enlisting the help of EWEB's Comfort SEAL specialists. This EWEB program focuses on sealing leaks in your home's ducts. This program is available for site-built and manufactured homes.

Eligibility requirements
You must be an EWEB electric customer with electric forced air heat, a heat pump, or central air conditioning. The ductwork must be located outside of the heated space—in a crawl space or attic. Non-electric systems are given a referral to state-certified duct contractors. For gas furnaces, see www.energytrust.org/residential/hes/ and click on “furnaces.”
