Why is my Tulsa room drafty?

A drafty room usually means heat is escaping through the attic or wall openings. ENERGY STAR pairs attic insulation with air sealing as the standard fix, because insulation alone doesn't stop air leaks. Sealing plus added insulation reduces heat loss and improves comfort.

Do Tulsa rebates cover drafty room insulation?

Yes. OG&E offers up to $500 in rebates for attic insulation upgrades. PSO offers a $100 bonus rebate in October for its attic insulation program when paired with ENERGY STAR Rule Your Attic! participation. Check the ENERGY STAR Rebate Finder with your ZIP code before starting.

Tulsa rebate requirements for attic insulation

PSO requires existing insulation of R-22 or less, a finished level of R-38 or better, and central HVAC or a heat pump. OG&E requires existing insulation under 8 inches deep or R-23, a finish of at least 13 inches or R-38, and professional installation between living space and the attic.

Who can install insulation in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma City's rules require anyone installing insulation to hold an insulation license and a $5,000 bond, and no one may install poured, batt, or blown insulation without a license. OG&E requires installation by a professional insulation company meeting manufacturer specs and state and local codes. Ask any pro for proof of license and insurance.

What building codes apply in Tulsa?

Oklahoma uses the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code with state-specific amendments, effective November 13, 2022. Insulation work must meet state and local codes. Your contractor should confirm current requirements before installing.
