Chamber Communications 2019-10-04T16:16:20-07:00 What do I do if my power goes out? McMinnville Water and Light is committed to providing safe and reliable energy, but unfortunately, power outages do occur. If your power goes out, here are some helpful tips to follow: Don’t call 911 to ask about the power outage. Call MWL at 503-472-6158 to report any problems. Shut-off your electronic equipment such as computers, televisions, and microwaves. Leave one light on so you know when power is restored. Turn off any heat-producing electric equipment such as toaster ovens, electric stove tops, irons or hair curlers. Stay out of elevators – use the stairs instead. Use extreme caution, especially on roads without working traffic signals. Use flashlights instead of candles to minimize fire hazards. Keep your refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to prevent food spoilage. Shut-off any electronic equipment that was operating when the power went off. Shut-off major electric appliances as well. This will help to stabilize the electric system when power is restored. How much of the power I consume is “Clean and Green”? Chamber Communications 2019-10-04T16:02:37-07:00 How much of the power I consume is “Clean and Green”? 97% of MW&L’s purchased power comes from RENEWABLE sources, mainly hydro generated by the Columbia River Hydro System. What conservation rebates are available to make my home/business more energy efficient? Chamber Communications 2019-10-04T16:01:23-07:00 What conservation rebates are available to make my home/business more energy efficient? McMinnville Water & Light offers a variety of incentives to help make your home more energy efficient. Below you will find a list of conservation measures for your home and current rebate amounts. To qualify for incentives, your home must be electrically heated, and all projects must be pre-approved. If you have gas heat, you can contact the Energy Trust of Oregon (energytrust.org or 1-866-368-7878). Or consider upgrading your gas furnace by adding a heat pump, which would then qualify you for MW&L incentives. Insulation: Signs of an under-insulated home include: cold floors, drafty and cool walls in the winter, as well as hot ceilings in the summer. Current rebates average about 30% of project costs. Windows: MW&L offers $2 per sq. ft. to replace existing single pane windows, single pane with storms, or double pane metal. New windows must have a u-value of 0.30 or lower (0.35 for patio doors), and must be installed in a heated space. Doors: $30 incentive for every Energy Star qualified single entry door in site built and manufactured homes. Duct Sealing: Duct systems are notoriously leaky, dumping the hot/cold air under your home or in your attic (the national average is 30%) instead of in your living space. The current rebate for manufactured homes is $150 and site-built homes $190. Ductless Heat Pumps: Want a heat pump and A/C without ducts? MW&L is currently offering between $600 and $900 for homes with existing zonal heat (permanently installed baseboard, ceiling or wall heat or a forced air electric furnace). Ducted Heat Pumps: Many things effect how efficiently your new ducted heat pump will work, an important one is to have it tested to MW&L “PTCS” specifications, which will qualify for a rebate between $200 and $1200.
