Many of our members received a message yesterday that stated they had a late bill, when in fact they did not. We do apologize for this inconvenience but you can ignore this messaging!
OEC sponsors a Heat Pump Rebate Program in order to encourage the installation of clean air-source and ground-source heat pump systems. Heat pump systems are the most efficient heating systems available so they will save you money over the long term and they reduce carbon emissions because they are powered by OEC electricity. If you are interested in installing a heat pump, your vendor will need to prepare an application which is linked below and we will provide the rebate if the project complies with our requirements after it is completely installed and operational. OEC provides up to $5,000 toward the costs of either an air source or ground source system. If the heat pump will not be the primary and exclusive source of heat for the premises, OEC will only provide a 50% rebate.
Geothermal heat pumps (GHPs), sometimes referred to as GeoExchange, earth-coupled, ground-source, or water-source heat pumps, have been in use since the late 1940s. They use the relatively constant temperature of the earth as the exchange medium instead of the outside air temperature so they are the most efficient method available to heat a residence.
Please contact Otsego Electric Cooperative, Inc. when planning your project to verify the availability of funds. Otsego Electric is a not-for-profit electric cooperative and has a limited annual budget for qualifying projects.
