  • SAFETY DURING AN OUTAGE | Inland Power

    SAFETY DURING A POWER OUTAGE At Inland Power & Light, we strive to maintain high quality, reliable energy. However, there are circumstances beyond our reasonable control, such as storms, flood and equipment failure, which can cause a power outage to occur. When interruptions of electrical service do occur, we will make every effort to restore your power as quickly as possible. WHAT TO DO Stay 50 feet away from downed power lines and broken utility poles. Do not attempt to remove trees or branches that may be in or near power lines! Check the fuses or breakers in your main electric panel. Notify Inland Power immediately! If a family member is on a life support system, have previous arrangement made for possible transport to a location where their needs can be met. ITEMS YOU MAY FIND USEFUL IN THE EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE Cell Phone Flashlight with fresh batteries Blankets and warm clothing Portable radio with fresh batteries FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is a supplier outage? The electricity Inland Power distributes to members is purchased from Bonneville Power Administration and is provided through BPA and Avista transmission lines. Sometimes, situations arise that cause Inland Power to lose service from these suppliers. Although not a direct result of damage to Inland Power’s lines, these situations still cause outages. Inland Power works closely with its power suppliers to minimize these occurrences. What is a pole-top fire? Pole-top fires can occur when moisture in the air combines with dust and dirt built up on power lines or insulators (used to attach lines to wooden poles) and creates a path by which electricity can travel from lines to the wooden pole or cross arm they are attached to. This is known as “tracking.” When this happens, the pole or cross arm can heat up and catch fire. The fire damage or the resulting short circuit can cause an outage, as poles damaged by fire usually need to be replaced, or the line may need to be repaired.

  • INSULATION | Inland Power

    INSULATION IMPROVE THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME & REDUCE ENERGY COSTS WITH PROPER INSULATION Did you know insulation plays an important role in how your home uses energy? It's also one of the main players in heating and cooling costs. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates homeowners can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs by air sealing their homes and adding insulation to attics, floors above crawl spaces and accessible basement rim joists (Energy Star ). Most people associate insulation with fuzzy rolls of pink stuff and a recognizable cartoon character, but what is it? Insulation is a classification of materials that are used to reduce heat transfer from the inside and outside of a building. Most commonly, insulation is used in attics, ceilings, walls, floors and crawl spaces to help maintain more constant, comfortable temperatures in your home. For qualified upgrades, Inland Power will pay a rebate of $0.75 per square foot of new insulation. See below for the application and program requirements. CLICK HERE TO BEGIN YOUR SAVINGS! Insulation Application Please make sure you review all requirements for rebates for making your purchase and install. TYPES OF INSULATION Batts (or rolls) are the most common and available form of insulation, and are often referred to as blanket insulation. Benefits: Flexible fiberglass batts are manufactured in the right size to fit between wall joists, studs and under floors, and can be easily cut by hand and installed. Foam board and rigid foam insulation sheets are available in various lengths, widths and densities, and can be used almost anywhere in your home. Benefits: Can perform up to two times greater than other insulation types with the same thickness and can be purchased at your local home improvement store. Loose fill or blow-in is made of small particles of different materials that can be blown into areas. Benefits: Can be blown into areas that may be hard to reach or where it is difficult to apply other types of insulation. Commonly used materials for loose-fill or blow-in are: Cellulose: recycled newsprint. Fiberglass: comprises 40%-60% recycled glass Mineral wool: 75% post-industrial recycled content Spray foam insulation is a liquid mixture that can be sprayed, injected or poured into place to insulate and reduce air leakage. Benefits: Conforms to the space where it is applied and is very effective at sealing small cavities and cracks. Some types can have a higher R-value than traditional batt and roll insulation. WHAT IS R-VALUE? Insulation resistance value, commonly known as R-value, is the capacity or measure of the insulation materials to resist heat transfer from one side of an object to another. The higher the R-value of the materials, the more effective it is at insulating the area. R-value can be dependent on the type of material or the thickness used. AIR SEALING Along with insulation, air sealing is another important and cost-effective way to increase comfort throughout your home. Air leakage and improperly installed insulation can waste 20% or more of the energy used to heat or cool a home (Energy Star ). Properly sealing the gaps and cracks in your home will: Reduce indoor pollutants and control moisture. Mitigate air leakage through gaps and cracks found in your home. Help your heating and cooling equipment work more efficiently. CAULK Caulk can be used to fill cracks, gaps, or joints that are less than a quarter inch wide and allow air to escape from your home. These compounds come in various materials, including silicone, latex and polyurethane foam, and are made for specific areas and purposes. To seal gaps around working windows and doors, use weather stripping, which is typically made of vinyl, rubber or poly foam. Weather stripping can be attached to existing windows and doors to reduce drafts, increase comfort and reduce noise. Listed below are suggested Insulation contractors who have achieved Gold Star status with Inland. This means they have completed 2+ home installations in a given year for Inland Power & Light consumers. Inland Power cannot recommend any one company and recommends doing your due diligence; make sure to get more than one estimate, inform contractor of intent to claim Inland's rebate prior to installation, and ask about warranty details.

  • CA$H BACK | Inland Power

    CA $ H BACK OVERVIEW Unlike investor-owned utilities that generate profits on behalf of shareholders, nonprofit electric cooperatives return any profits earned to their members in the form of capital credits. Each year the board evaluates the financial condition of your cooperative to determine whether a refund is warranted. These funds provided by our members are an important source of financing. They help pay for equipment and system maintenance and upgrades to provide you with safe, reliable and quality service you expect. By using these funds, we can avoid borrowing from other lenders. Over the past 12 years, Inland has returned $16 million in capital credits to our members while maintaining some of the lowest rates in the country, as well as high service levels. Being a good financial steward of our members’ money is a top priority for the cooperative. Click the video below to learn how our CA $ H BACK program works!!

  • LIGHTING TIPS | Inland Power

    TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY WITH LED LIGHTING HOW TO LOWER ENERGY COSTS WITH LED LIGHTING Compared to incandescent bulbs, LEDs not only perform better, they also last longer—and they use less energy, too. Check out some energy-saving tips below! BENEFITS OF LED LIGHTING Less electricity. LEDs use up to 80 percent less electricity to produce the same amount of light as their traditional incandescent counterparts. Safety. LED lights are cool to the touch, which helps reduce fire risk. Older incandescent bulbs waste about 90 percent of their electricity to heat and convert only 10 percent to visible light. The excess heat can lead to an increased fire risk. Longevity. LEDs can last up to 10 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. Since they don't contain delicate filaments of glass, they can withstand light impact without breaking. Variety. There are colors, shapes, and sizes available for indoor and outdoor use. Some are even dimmable. Weatherproof. LED lights function just as well outdoors as they do indoors. They are constructed in such a way that they are impervious to moisture, heat, and cold. ENERGY-SAVING LIGHTING TIPS Lighting in your home can account for up to 20 percent of your monthly electricity bill. The good news? Lighting is something you can control easily and affordably. Turn out the lights when you leave a room. Illuminate just your task, and turn out lights elsewhere in the house. Use three-way fluorescent bulbs to provide variation of brightness for different tasks. Use timers when on vacation. Use lighter colored lamp shades to enhance light output. Choose solar-powered or daylight sensor security lighting.

  • RIGHT OF WAY CLEARING | Inland Power

    RIGHT OF WAY CLEARING Reliable energy is something you expect, which is why Inland Power must continually safeguard the integrity of our electrical system. Trees and limbs that grow into or fall on power lines can cause outages, fires and serious accidents. Tree roots can damage underground lines, too. Both situations are a hazard to people and property and may interrupt essential community services. Our vegetation management program aims to reduce tree-related power outages. Inland takes a systematic approach to proactively patrol, trim, and remove trees to mitigate fire risk and support reliably: Trim trees on a scheduled basis Remove risk or dead trees adjacent to right-of-ways When the situation requires, Inland Power will mow rights-of-way to ensure areas are clear of excess vegetation and trees.
