| If
I choose to participate in the loan program, I understand
that:
1. Insulation measures,
appliances, windows and heating and cooling equipment
must be installed to the specifications set by the District.
These measures must be inspected and approved by the
District before payment.
2. The residence to be
improved has electricity as its primary
source of heat. I do not have
natural gas, propane, oil or kerosene heating equipment.
I do not have a ducted wood furnace. Only those portions
of a residence that are used as a heated living space
and are electrically heated are eligible (i.e. garages
are not eligible.)
3. I hereby indemnify
the Franklin PUD from any demands for damage of any
kind that result from the installation of the conservation
measure(s).
4. The District will loan the amount of the bid
up to $7,000 for a single-family residence. For
a multi-family building the District will loan the amount
of the bid up to $10,000.
5. Any structural
defects in the residence (examples: dry rot, leaky roof,
leaky water pipes, etc.) must be repaired prior to the
installation of any District approved measures. Corrections
of such defects are not a part of the District's program.
6. To obtain acceptable
efficiency results from a heat pump upgrade the Franklin
PUD strongly recommends that the home first be fully
weatherized. Weatherizing
the home can be included in the loan. Fully weatherized
means the following:
 |
Attic insulation
- average of at least 8” inches deep. |
|
Floors over
crawl spaces - at least 6” inches of
insulation. |
|
Accessible
open wall cavities - fully insulated. |
 |
Windows -
double or triple pane windows needed.
(Click

|
Ductwork -
to have at least 2 inches of insulation in unheated
areas. If not, they must be sealed and insulated
to program specifications. |
|
Door weather-stripping
and threshold - must be effective. |
|
Air Sealing
- good caulking or weather-stripping and
other air sealing. |
Please consult with the Franklin PUD
Energy Services staff to ensure that a heat pump is the
best option for your home. Energy Services can help you
line up your weatherization options in a logical progression
that makes the best possible economic sense.
7. Participating
contractors normally install the conservation measures.
If I install the conservation measures
without using an approved contractor, the loan will be
based on the value of the materials only (no labor costs),
and the conservation measures must still pass the final
inspection.
8. I, or a representative
which I appoint, will need to be present when District
inspections are conducted and I will provide access to
the District to verify compliance with specifications.
9. The District does not
contract with contractors to do individual installations.
10. The District shall not be liable to the owner for
the acts or omissions of the participating contractors
or other independent contractors.
Contractors participating in the program shall not be
considered officers, agents, or employees of the District.
11. If insulation
is installed in my walls, I hereby authorize the installer
to drill holes between every stud framing member, blow
loose fill insulation into the cavities and fit wooden
plugs in the hole. The wooden
plugs shall be driven flush or with a recess. The recess
will be filled and sealed with a primer. If holes cannot
be drilled through existing siding, the siding may be
removed (if possible); the holes drilled and siding replaced.
I will pay the cost of removing and replacement of siding
outside the program.
12. Electrical usage data
for this residence may be used by the District for evaluation
purposes and released to the public as long as the property
is not specifically identified.
13. The actual energy savings are unpredictable due to
many variables.
14. The district is not responsible for the proper installation
of any conservation measure. This
is the responsibility of the contractor(s).
15. The District cannot recommend or endorse any individual
contractors.
16. I understand that I cannot get a 3% (three percent
APR) loan and a rebate on the same residence
for the same measure.
17. Rebate agreements must be signed by the customer
and a Franklin PUD representative before funds are reserved
to satisfy rebate amount. Download
