Home Energy Squad helps Oakdale residents save money and reduce their energy usage!

Help us reduce our community’s energy use and save money on your utility bills. The City of Oakdale is now offering a rebate to cover half the cost for a Home Energy Squad visit for a limited number of residents. 

Home Energy Squad offers two types of visits: the Energy Saver visit for newer homes and the Energy Planner visit for older homes. Thanks to the City rebate, residents with Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy accounts can receive the Energy Saver visit for only $35 (normally $70) and the Energy Planner visit for only $50 (normally $100).
