Residential Products & Services available to MEC members:
Conservation has never been more critical. By making simple adjustments, members can significantly reduce their energy bills and enjoy long-term savings.
Appliances - ENERGY STAR® is the symbol for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR qualified appliances use less energy than conventional products. MEC proudly promotes ENERGY STAR and offers incentives for qualifying appliances.
Smart Thermostat - Midstate is offering a Google Nest Thermostat for FREE! The Google Nest Thermostat is ENERGY STAR certified, meaning it efficiently controls your home’s heating and cooling system and can save an average of 10% to 12% on heating bills and 15% on cooling bills.
Heat Pumps - Incentives may be available to members who install a qualifying heat pump. Today’s electric heat pumps offer clean, safe, reliable comfort all year long, and are by far the most efficient heating and cooling systems available.
Heat Pump Water Heaters - Heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) use electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. Therefore, they can be two to three times more energy efficient than conventional electric resistance water heaters. To move the heat, heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse. There are incentives available for qualifying Heat Pump Water Heaters.
Duct Sealing - An OSU Extension Energy Services study has concluded that duct sealing can cut the cost of heating and cooling by an average of 30%.
Windows/Doors - Incentives are available for MEC members who install qualifying energy efficient windows and doors. To qualify, electric heat must be the primary heating source for the home. A pre-inspection is required to verify eligibility.
Insulation - Incentives are available for homeowners retrofitting their homes. Residential members with electric heat as their primary heating system qualify for the program.
Manufactured Homes - ENERGY STAR® incentives are available for new electrically heated manufactured homes built to NEEM/ENERGY STAR specifications.
