If you live in Phoenix, you already know the summer heat can be relentless. But what you may not realize is that your home could be wasting hundreds of dollars a year in lost energy—especially if your ductwork leaks, your attic lacks proper insulation, or your home hasn’t been professionally evaluated for efficiency. Fortunately, with the right upgrades and guidance, you can stay cool and save money. At Advantage Home Performance, we specialize in duct sealing, attic insulation, and whole-home efficiency improvements. As a certified SRP Trade Ally, we not only help Phoenix homeowners improve comfort—we help them tap into valuable energy rebates from Salt River Project (SRP).
Contact UsThe combination of extreme outdoor temperatures and poor construction practices has left many Phoenix homes vulnerable to energy loss. In fact, studies show that up to 30% of cooled air is lost through duct leaks before it ever reaches your living space. Combine that with under-insulated attics, aging HVAC systems, and high solar exposure—and you’ve got a recipe for discomfort and inflated utility bills.
Even newer homes aren’t immune. Without a professional audit, most homeowners don’t realize how much energy their homes are losing. That’s where we come in.
Duct sealing involves identifying and closing the leaks in your home’s air distribution system. Most Arizona homes have ductwork that runs through hot attics or cramped crawlspaces—areas where leaks are common and costly.
At Advantage Home Performance, we use pressure testing to find leaks, then seal them with high-grade mastic. This not only boosts system efficiency, but it improves airflow, reduces hot spots, and helps your AC cool more effectively.
As an SRP-certified contractor, we ensure your duct sealing project meets the standards required to qualify for available rebates. Learn More Here:
If your attic insulation isn’t keeping the heat out, your AC is fighting a losing battle. Phoenix attics routinely reach temperatures of 130°F or more, and poorly insulated spac es can let that heat radiate into your living areas.
We install blown-in fiberglass and cellulose insulation to recommended R-values (often R-38 or higher) to create a thermal barrier that blocks heat and reduces cooling demand. Proper attic insulation improves indoor comfort, lowers cooling bills, and is eligible for SRP rebates when installed by a qualified contractor.
A home energy audit is the first step in any smart upgrade plan. Using tools like blower doors, infrared cameras, and duct blasters, we measure exactly where your home is leaking air and losing energy.
Our audits are comprehensive: we assess attic insulation, duct layout, air leakage, and even pressure imbalances caused by closed interior doors. This gives you a prioritized list of upgrades to tackle first—often starting with duct sealing and attic insulation.
SRP offers generous rebates to help homeowners make energy-efficient improvements. As of now, these include:
– Up to $400 for duct sealing
– Up to $600 for attic insulation
– Up to $100 for smart thermostats
To qualify, work must be performed by an SRP Trade Ally such as Advantage Home Performance and meet specific efficiency benchmarks. We handle all the paperwork, testing, and reporting for you.

We don’t just perform isolated fixes—we take a building science approach to every project. Our team is certified by the Building Performance Institute (BPI), and we combine duct sealing, insulation, and HVAC diagnostics into an integrated upgrade path.
Whether your goal is to stay cooler, cut your utility bills, or qualify for the 25C federal tax credit (up to $1,200 annually), we can help. And we back it all with professional installation, test-out documentation, and clear communication every step of the way.
We stand behind the performance of our installations with our exclusive Utility Bill Guarantee Program. When you upgrade your HVAC system through our performance path, we’ll provide a written guarantee on your utility bills. If your energy costs don’t meet the targeted efficiency benchmarks, we’ll make it right. It’s another way we ensure that our customers receive real-world, measurable results from their investment.
