What are the OG&E attic insulation program rules?
OG&E's program is for residential customers who own or rent a permanent-foundation single-family home. Insulation must sit between conditioned living space and an unconditioned attic. Existing insulation must be less than 8 inches deep or R-23, and finished insulation must reach at least 13 inches or R-38.
Who must install the insulation to qualify?
OG&E requires a professional insulation company to install the material. The work must follow the manufacturer's specifications and state and local codes. Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance, and look for SPFA Professional Certification.
What insulation levels does Oklahoma code require?
