Guidelines for 2012 CVEC Rebate Program There are several changes from the
2011 Rebate Program. Because the purpose of the program is to provide fi- nancial incentive to members to assist in the cost of new and energy efficient heat and air equipment, the new guidelines are as follows:
Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) Rebate (Desuperheater required). CVEC and WFEC will provide $650.00 per ton. Minimum specifications required on closed loop systems are 18.5 EER & 3.6 COP or greater. Open Loop Systems require n 20.2 EER & 4.0 COP or greater. CVEC and WFEC will provide $525.00 per ton for Ground Source Heat Pumps that meet a lower efficiency requirement. (Desuperheater required.) Minimum specifications required on closed loop systems is 16.1 EER & 3.3 COP or greater. Open Loop Sysems require 18.2 EER & 3.6 COP or greater. Your Ground Source Heat Pump dealer will be able to quote your system based on these minimum specifications.
Ground Source Heat Pumps installed without a Desuperheater will only qualify for rebates of $225.00 & $375.00 per ton with the same minimum specifications. Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) Rebate provides $112.50 per ton for all approved systems. The specifications are minimum SEER of 16, minimum EER of 13.4, and a minimum HSPF of 8.5. The backup /Supplemental heat can be Natural Gas or Propane. CVEC will also provide a rebate for minimally efficient ASHP systems of 14 SEER & 15 SEER units at $100.00 per ton.
Information Required to Receive Rebate For retrofit and replacement or for new systems, an application form must be submitted by the consumer applying for the rebate. A copy of the invoice from the Contractor for the installed equipment is required. The Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) Reference Certificate is also required. (This is supplied by the Contractor/Installer) The SEER or EER of replaced equip- ment. If the information is not known, the approximate year unit was installed is required. The physical location of the installed unit is required as well as Signature of applicant and Contrac- tor/Installer of equipment verifying equipment minimum specifications. How do you receive your rebate?
Upon receiving all required paperwork from the member, we will arrange to inspect and verify all equipment. Once the inspection and verification is complete, Canadian Valley Electric will issue a check payable to the CVEC member.
Questions? You may contact your local contractor for estimates on installation of qualified equipment. They will provide estimates based on the minimum requirements we provide. You may go to to our Website at
www.canadianvalley.org and download an application and guidelines, or contact us at Canadian Valley and we’ll send the information to you.

Using gas? Get CO alarms
If your home has a fireplace or any gas appliances, you should install car- bon monoxide alarms in or near every bedroom.
The CO alarm will react when it
senses that carbon monoxide levels in your house are too high, usually because an appliance is malfunctioning. CO alarms do not detect gas leaks. Here are eight tips for ensuring your CO alarm works when you need it: 1. Replace your alarms every five
years. Most warranties cover only five years. 2. Replace your batteries at least once a year or when the device starts making a “chirping” sound. That’s usu- ally a symptom of a low battery. 3. Test the alarm regularly by pressing the “test” button and holding it down for 20 seconds. 4. Locate CO alarms at least 10 feet away from sources of humidity like showers and bathrooms, where steam can cause them to overreact. 5. Place a CO alarm on every
level of the house and at the top of the basement stairs, even if there are no bedrooms on those floors. 6. Do not put a CO alarm in the garage, kitchen or the room with your gas furnace. 7. If your alarm goes off too often,
it probably means it’s too close to a fireplace or a gas furnace or stove. It also could mean that your gas appli- ances are not burning the fuel com- pletely. If you see a yellow or orange pilot light, that could be the case. Call a plumber to check it out.
In order to help members better understand their monthly statements CVEC annually publishes its rate schedule. These schedules are on file with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Consumers are divided into classes based on the size and consumption of the service. The following is a summery of each class and the rate charged.
