Broken Arrow, OK: what's different here
Broken Arrow is in Tulsa County, about 15 miles and roughly 18 minutes from Tulsa via the Broken Arrow Expressway (OK-51). The city follows the 2018 International Residential and Building Code amendments, with the 2006 IECC used where referenced. Most of Oklahoma, including this area, falls in IECC Climate Zone 3A. Local rebate programs through PSO can offset insulation upgrade costs.

Which building codes apply in Broken Arrow?
Broken Arrow has adopted the 2018 International Residential Code and International Building Code amendments, plus the 2020 National Electric Code.

AEP/Public Service Company of Oklahoma offers $1,600 for home insulation and sealing through the HEEHRP program. PSO also offers up to $5,000 off the total invoice when three or more upgrades are completed at once, and insulation is a qualifying measure.

Broken Arrow sits in IECC Climate Zone 3A, like most of Oklahoma including Tulsa.

Ask your contractor which R-values apply to your project.
What to do next
- Measure your metal building's square footage so you can compare the $1.50 to $5.00 per-square-foot range against your quote.
- Ask the pro for proof of insurance and confirm which R-values apply under Broken Arrow's adopted 2018 code amendments and the 2006 IECC.
- Check the PSO HEEHRP program details to see if your project qualifies for the $1,600 insulation rebate or up to $5,000 for bundling three or more upgrades.
- Request an itemized quote separating foam type, R-value, and labor, since a standard Tulsa-area project runs about 14.8 labor hours.
