CO-OP ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS
The Co-op Energy Efficiency Program consists of a loan and rebate program to help our member-owners manage the cost of installing energy-efficient improvements in their homes. While there is value in practicing no-cost and low-cost measures, more extensive energy efficiency improvements obviously make a bigger impact on your power bill. The process begins with a free audit by our energy auditor to target efficiency opportunities and decide what upgrades you can make. Along with these recommendations, she will outline the program options that best fit your individual needs. Contact our energy auditor today by calling 1.888.349.4332 or by e-mail at pr@dixie.coop
