Tri-County Electric Cooperative wants to help provide a home energy audit and recommend weatherization measures. A professional auditor will perform a blower door test on a member’s home. The auditor will depressurize the home. During the test, the auditor will find energy and weatherization measures and make recommendations to the homeowner. The auditor must be approved by TCEC. Upon completion of the energy audit, an incentive of up to 50% of the cost, with a cap of $500, will be paid for any corrective actions taken.
Corrective measures include such items as external labor and materials for insulation, building shell sealing, and interior duct sealing/insulation. Energy Audits are free to members.
