 If you're building a house, small choices in the design process can lead to long-term energy savings and value. And Red Lake Electric Cooperative is there to help. Here are five things to do to get the most electric efficiency out of your dream home. First, set up a meeting with your co-op to discuss electric technology options and programs.
