Attic Insulation Upgrades:  Duke Energy offers a rebate up to $800 to homeowners who need insulation upgrades. Insulation keeps your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Without proper insulation, the hot or cold air outside can seep into your living space, causing your air conditioner or heater to work harder than it should to keep your home comfortable. This can lead to higher-than-expected energy bills.

Together, co-op members will learn about solar energy and leverage their numbers to get competitive  pricing and quality solar installations.  After a competitive bidding process facilitated by SUN, a group of volunteers from the co-op will select a solar company to complete the co-op's installations.
