ABLES
A home energy efficiency expert from Precise Building Performance conducts a whole-home energy audit. The audit tests your home's ability to seal in heat and air, checks for potential duct leakage and ensures an adequate amount of attic insulation. Members will receive a detailed report on site along with information on steps they can take to expand their home's efficiency.

WHAT DOES THE HOME ENERGY CONSULTATION PROGRAM OFFER?
RE
ince 2017, OEC has helped over 450 members find ways to cut their energy costs and save money through the Home Energy Consultation program — a free energy audit program offered to qualifying members. As part of our mission to improve our members' quality of life through the safe delivery of highly reliable, reasonably priced electric service, innovative energy programs and exceptional member service, we want to help you find savings on your energy bill this year. It's part of the premium service you receive as an OEC member.
Western Farmers Electric Cooperative (WFEC), OEC's wholesale generation and transmission power provider, has an impressive renewable portfolio that includes wind, hydro and — recently added — solar. OEC's Solar Garden, located at Interstate 35 and Highway 77 in Norman, began producing power in February 2017, and Tuttle's 40-acre Solar Farm began operation in March 2017. As more solar facilities come online, expect to see it added to WFEC's generation report, increasing the already robust mix of renewable energy sources.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM? The Home Energy Consultation program is available only to residential members living in single-family houses and larger. However, members living in mobile homes are welcome to enroll and will receive helpful resources including specific ways they can cut energy costs. This information can also be viewed at www.okcoop.org.
Data collected from Western Farmers Electric Cooperative reflects generation during October 2018.
