f you're ready to reduce your home energy bill— and realize an immediate


payback for your efforts— sign up now for Choctaw Electric's new Home Efficiency Partners Program. The program involves a team of energy professionals from Western Farmers Electric Cooperative, Choctaw Electric Cooperative (CEC) and Precise Building Performance working with co-op members to make their homes more efficient. Precise Building Performance is a private business focused on improving energy efficiency in homes.


What Does the Home Energy Efficiency Partnership Offer?


CEC members who enroll receive a free whole-home energy audit conducted by a professional energy efficiency expert from Precise Building Performance. The audit tests your home's ability to seal in heat and air, checks for potential duct leakage, and assesses your attic insulation.


Participating co-op members receive a detailed report of their audit on-site, along with projected costs of suggested energy-saving upgrades and their estimated return-on-investment. Members may select to make one or more improvements based on their budget or do nothing.


The decision is up to you, but further participation nets big benefits: Qualifying members who choose to make upgrades receive a rebate of $1 per watt of estimated savings, with a maximum rebate value of $1,000. The rebate is applied to the cost of the project, with special financing options available from CEC to cover retrofit costs. Another bonus: You can rest easier knowing your home improvements are performed by a licensed professional contractor.


Who is Eligible to Participate in the Program?
