Energy Audits:
Thorough examination of a residence that reveals where energy efficiency weaknesses exist, are offered to Farmers’ Electric Members at a discounted price. Members may also take advantage of the Cooperative’s Incentive Program, which returns up to $500 back to the Member.
A Blower Door energy audit is a complete audit of the home. A walk-through survey and the use of a blower door will locate areas in the home where there is air infiltration. A computer report is generated for the member to providing specific recommendations for improving the efficiency of the home. If weather conditions are adequate, a thermal imaging camera can be used to locate areas in the house where heat is being lost.
The energy audit is offered to Members for $125. However, half of any expenses the Member incurs completing the recommendations will be reimbursed up to a maximum refund of $500.
