eals on Wheels of Norman and Aging Services, Inc. received sizable grants following the Aug. 4 OEC Foundation, Inc.’s Operation Round Up® meeting. “Since 1996, OEC has provided meal scholarships for Meals on Wheels (MOW) clients who cannot afford to pay for their meals,” said Lynn Haynes, MOW (executive director. “The help is greatly appreciated and allows MOW to continue to serve nutritious meals to the ill, disabled and elderly based on need and not on the ability to pay.” The Foundation granted $9,000 to MOW, which will cover the cost of 2,894 meals. Aging Services, Inc. received a $5,000 grant to purchase a steamer oven in its kitchen. The organization fears state budget cuts could potentially prohibit it from feeding approximately 500 senior adults in Cleveland County each day. Grady County Sheriff ’s Office received $3,000 for body armor. “The body armor our deputies are currently wearing has passed its expiration date by several years,” said Lt. Tim Spratt. “Due to the social
climate becoming more negative towards law enforcement, we feel the safety of our deputies is a priority.” Pink Fire Department also received a $3,000 grant, which will be used for extrication equipment. The department serves several miles of high traffic roadways, many of which are undergoing construction. This means an increase in the number and severity of automobile accidents. The Newcastle Education Foundation’s Fill the Bus program benefitted from a $2,000 grant, and several individuals and families were awarded assistance with items such as dentures and a stove. These grants are made possible thanks to OEC members who elect to round up their electric bills to the nearest dollar each month – an average of $6 per year. The accumulated change is granted to organizations, individuals and families in OEC’s service area via the Operation Round Up program. Grant recipients are not required to be OEC members, and grants may not be issued for utility bills, rent or mortgage payments. The next meeting is Oct. 6. Applications – organizational and
individual/family – are available at www.okcoop.org/ORU and must be submitted by Sept. 26 for consideration. Contact Tory Tedder-Loffland, OEC’s education and outreach coordinator, at 217-6726 or ORU@okcoop.org if you have questions about the application process.

Pros and cons of heat pump water heaters By Tom Tate
A
major consumer of electricity in today’s home is the water heater. Because of how electric water heaters work, using electric resistance elements, these units max out in efficiency at about 96 percent. As the government and industry seek ways to reduce energy use and the resulting carbon emissions, they have turned their attention to the electric water heater. After a lengthy study, the Department of Energy issued rules governing the efficiency of electric water heaters that went into effect in 2015. The rules resulted in a jump in efficiency requirements for larger residential electric water heaters. Enter the heat pump water heater (HPWH). Heat pumps have been in use for general home heating and cooling since their invention in the 1940s by Robert C. Webber . When the oil embargo of the 1970s brought the need for improved efficiency to the forefront, heat pumps became an important source of increased energy efficiency in the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) arena. Heat pumps operate by using compressors, refrigerant, heat exchangers and the difference in outside air temperature versus indoor temps to produce heating and cooling for homes and businesses. These units
HPWH will provide greater yearround savings in moderate climates. Like any new application of a technology, the HPWH will benefit from steady improvements over time. They are undeniably more efficient than electric resistance water heaters and will pay for themselves in a reasonable amount of time (2-3 years or so). However, they may not be the right choice in every situation and climate. If your water heater is over 10 years old, you should be looking at a replacement anyway to avoid the risk of water damage should the tank fail. Take the time to weigh the pros and cons of the HPWH as a replacement and, if it is right for you, it is a choice that will pay dividends on your budget and in contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions.

historically have been most successful in areas with moderate winter temperatures, although advances in technology are making use in colder climates more feasible. So, how does a HPWH function and what are its advantages and disadvantages? In short, the HPWH absorbs heat from the surrounding air using it to heat water within the tank. Because the HPWH uses heat pump technology, it can be up to 2.5 times more efficient than a traditional resistance electric water heater. This means it will cost you less to produce hot water for your home and reduce carbon emissions. The following table details the key advantages and disadvantages of the HPWH. As with heat pumps for general space conditioning, the

“I am very grateful our board of trustees understands the need for electricity education and gives us the resources we need to go into our area schools and make a difference for our students, teachers and struggling school systems,” said TedderLoffland.
Get Charged! Tedder-Loffland has carefully researched state curriculum requirements to ensure Get Charged! – a science-based electricity program for upper elementary and middle school-aged students – meets state education requirements. “Get Charged! promotes the learning of electricity through science experiments,” said Tedder-Loffland. “To begin, we focused the program in fourth grade turning a circuit into a telegraph line. It was a great success and I’m excited now to expand the program into other grades.” Get Charged! also includes electrical safety videos and learning about conductors and insulators. “My students were still talking about Morse Code on the last day of school,” said Ashley Robertson, a fourth grade teacher at Blanchard Intermediate School. “It was
learning made memorable.” Get Charged! can be tailored to any audience in a variety of settings.
Do Watts Wise Do Watts Wise – an electrical safety program for first through fourth graders – teaches the importance of staying safe around electricity. Students watch several video clips and answer questions in a fun, interactive presentation. During the presentation, students get to handle actual safety gear used by linemen. The star of the show, Hot Dog Harry, and his marshmallow head and hands demonstrates what can happen when people get too close to a power line. Do Watts Wise is designed to last about 45 minutes, but can be customized to fit a variety of schedules. It can also be tailored for outdoor events such as school fairs and safety programs.
YouthPower Energy Camp
Leadership Summit Leadership Summit is an energetic and motivating day-long leadership program held in the atmospheric boathouse district in downtown Oklahoma City. Two students are chosen to represent OEC among students from other Oklahoma electric co-ops. Each student receives a $250 scholarship and a chance to win an additional $1,000 scholarship. At the conclusion of the training, the students and their parents are treated to a tour and dinner in Bricktown followed by a sporting event. Leadership Summit is open to high school sophomores, juniors and seniors.
Youth Tour Youth Tour, OEC’s best known and most anticipated youth program,
is a week-long, all-expenses-paid educational trip to Washington, D.C. OEC annually sponsors four delegates – all juniors – from high schools within its service area. The students travel with the Oklahoma delegation (70+ students) to our nation’s capital where they tour historic sites and national landmarks, meet Oklahoma’s Congressional delegation and more. Youth Tour is a multi-step program. First, interested students must submit a multimedia presentation over an energy related topic. Judges then narrow the field to eight finalists, who must attend a half-day speech workshop led by an expert in the field. Finally, the finalists and their families attend a banquet, where they present their research. Judges select four students to go to Washington, D.C. on Youth Tour and the other four are awarded coveted spots at the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy at Goddard Youth Camp in south central Oklahoma. Both events occur mid-June. If you have any questions about the educational opportunities of OEC L.E.A.R.N., contact Tory TedderLoffland at 217-6726 or tory@okcoop. org. Information is also available on the OEC L.E.A.R.N. Facebook page (facebook.com/OECYouth). Visit www.okcoop.org to download the complete youth programs guide.

Energy Camp – an action-packed, four-day adventure at Canyon Camp and Conference Center near Hinton – encourages eighth grade students to tap into their leadership potential while having fun, meeting new friends and learning about co-ops. Up to four eighth graders in OEC’s service area join 90 others from across Oklahoma at Energy Camp, held at the end of May. While there,
the campers form and manage their own soda and candy co-op. Campers divide into four “districts” – just like an electric co-op – and elect a board of directors, who then “hires” a general manager. In addition to the normal camp activities of swimming and hiking, campers enjoy climbing an electric pole, towering 60 feet over camp in a bucket truck and viewing a highvoltage demonstration. Information about 2017 Energy Camp will be posted at www.okcoop. org/EnergyCamp in early 2017.

Start autumn right: Commit to a DIY home energy audit
A
Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • September 2016
s summer comes to a close, Oklahoma temperatures can continue to soar. No matter the season, we are dedicated to helping you increase energy efficiency and save money. Whether your home is old or new, chances are you are spending more on energy costs than necessary. We want to continually find ways to educate you and help you increase your energy efficiency and keep money in your pocket. You don’t have to spend a lot of money (or any!) to do an energy assessment on your home. Armed with some basic knowledge and a little time, you can conduct a baseline energy audit of your home to identify where you are losing energy (and money). Use a checklist and take notes on problems you find as you walk through your home. Remember, the audit itself won’t save you money unless you act on your findings.
10
DIY 101 So, where to start? If your home has multiple levels, work from the top down. Begin in your attic or highest floor, and work your way down to the first floor or basement. 1. Insulation and air leaks (drafts) – According to the Department of Energy, improving your home’s insulation and sealing air leaks are the fastest and most cost-
effective ways to reduce energy waste and make the most of your energy dollars. Check to see whether there is sufficient insulation in the attic. Are openings containing piping, ductwork and chimney sealed? 2. Electronic devices – Inventory all of the electronic devices you have and how often you use them. Computers, printers, DVD players, phones and gaming consoles are notorious “vampire power” users – they drain energy even when not in use. If items can be turned off without disrupting your lifestyle, consider plugging them into a power strip that can be turned on and off (or put on a timer). 3. Lighting – Note where you still have incandescent lights. Can you replace them with CFL or LED upgrades? Do you have nightlights? If so, consider replacing them with LED nightlights. Are there places where you can install motion sensor lights in low use areas, such as a closet, porch or garage? 4. Thermostat/indoor temperature – Do you have a programmable thermostat? When was the last time it was programmed? Is the date and time correct? If they are
not, this could throw off the automatic settings. Is it set so the temperature is higher during the day and/or times when no one is home and at night when people are sleeping? Consider raising the temperature a few degrees (78 degrees is our recommendation in the summer, 68 degrees in the winter). 5. Appliances and cleaning – Appliances are large energy users, and if yours are more than 10 years old, they are likely not as energy efficient as today’s options. How and when you use them also make a difference. Do you wash your clothes in hot water, or can you use cold water instead? Do you use your washer, dryer or dishwasher during the day? Consider running them at night, during off-peak times. Does your hot water heater have a blanket? If not, consider insulating it. Make sure your dryer vent isn’t blocked – this will not only save energy, it may also prevent a fire. [4902400700]
EVALUATION Once you have completed the audit, take a look at the findings. Prioritize actions that you can take based on your time and budget, weighing where you can get the most
impact for your investment. Increasing your home’s energy efficiency will make your family comfortable while saving you money.
UTILIZE OEC’S TOOLS We offer several tools to assist you in your DIY energy audit. First, www.TogetherWeSave.com highlights areas of potential savings in its virtual home tour. Download the MyUsage mobile app and link it to your electric account to see daily and hourly meter readings in helpful graphs that show your home’s peak usage times. From there, pinpoint specific actions your family can take to reduce those numbers and watch the dollars you save add up. You can also download the Energy Audit Handbook for helpful checklists and a walk-through guide. It can be found at www.okcoop.org.

The differences between overhead and underground power lines By Tom Tate
T
Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • September 2016
here are two methods of installing the power lines that carry electricity to your home, overhead and underground. OEC members sometimes ask why we
14
use one versus the other, or more to the point, why all power lines are not installed using the underground construction method. Isn’t one method better than the other? These are great questions, and the answer is that each method has its place. Overhead line construction starts with the setting of utility poles. Poles can be set in nearly any type of terrain, even rocky. In the case of heavy rock, special equipment is used to augur out the hole. If placement occurs in boggy or wet terrain, many techniques are available to set poles securely. Once the poles are in place, wires can be strung and then equipment — like transformers, fuses and reclosers — are installed. Power can now flow. Underground line construction requires digging a trench that is deep enough to keep the lines well away from surface activities. Where the terrain is extremely rocky, underground lines may not be an option. Next, wires are laid in the trench directly or placed in conduits for protection. The trench is filled in, and the surface is restored to its original condition. Padmount transformers and additional equipment are installed as needed,
now the system is ready to deliver electricity. Take a look at some the advantages and disadvantages of each construction method in the graphic on the left. Determining if power lines should be overhead or underground boils down to what is best for the situation. Underground lines might be ideal in situations where there is a desire to keep the poles and wires out of sight, such as a residential neighborhood, park or historical area. There are many cities and towns that construct only underground lines for a variety of reasons. Overhead systems work well when appearance is not a major concern. Examples include extremely long line distances across country, where the voltages are higher than the limitations set for underground lines. The ultimate mix of underground and overhead construction used by OEC provides you, our members, with the highest possible quality of service at the lowest possible price. Cost, appearance, reliability, maintenance and future upgrades will drive which is the better approach, overhead or underground.
