North Arkansas Electric Cooperative (NAEC), a Touchstone Energy Cooperative, serves approximately 35,000 member accounts in seven different counties. The coop provides low interest rates for energy efficiency improvements in the home through the EECL Loan Program.
Up to $20,000 is available for air or water source heat pumps, energy efficient lighting, energy star doors, energy star windows, high efficiency water heaters, and additional weatherization measures.

Applications for additional funds above $20,000 may be presented and considered for approval by board committee which meets monthly. Minimum loan amounts are set at $1,000.
