Efficiency Rebate Program for Residential Consumers
OEC is committed to helping you make your home the most efficient it can be. To that end we offer rebates for installation of energy efficient heat pumps and water heaters. Before purchasing and/or installing a heat pump OEC recommends members:
- Select an Energy Star rated product
- Get at least three bids before contracting the work
- Verify their heat & air company is qualified to install heat pumps
- Rebate claim must be made within 6 months of installation
OEC may require copies of the sales slip or work order to be submitted with the standard rebate request. The form may be viewed and printed by clicking on the link below or call our office at (405) 321-2024 to have one mailed to you.
