GoodCents means great value.
Today's home contains twice as many electrical outlets and consumes twice the power of a
comparable 1950's 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.
Why buy or build a GoodCents home?
Your home is the biggest investment you'll ever make. So you want to do it right, but who
to trust? And where do you find information about the ways to save on heating, cooling,
and efficient appliances? GoodCents will help with all of that. Here's how:
Greater value.
GoodCents homebuilders are certified through the local utility; so you know your home
is well built and energy efficient. So you can buy or build a home with peace of mind. And
when you sell your GoodCents home, it's more marketable. That's value.
Reduced energy bills.
Tighter windows and doors, better insulation, more efficient heating and cooling... those
all mean lower energy bills. GoodCents certified products and services mean you'll be
saving money month after month.
A high efficiency heat pump is the heart of the GoodCents
program.
Duncan Power will make a cash payment or credit to the utility account of residential
customers who install high-efficiency electric heat pumps.

before payment can be made or credited.

of Duncan Code Enforcement inspectors prior to payment or credit.
Good Cents Rate
Certified Good Cents residences qualify for a lower

months and helps manage energy costs year-round
