FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Where can I buy energy saving light bulbs?
We sell them for a $1.00 a piece – best price anywhere and they really do work! Place them in areas where lighting is on more frequently; living room, kitchen, hallways…..
Does my refrigerator use a lot of energy?
Yes, refrigerators use a lot of energy. If you have more than one and it is not completely stocked, it is probably costing you more money to run than you are saving by “stocking up” on items. Try unplugging it and powering it up again when needed – a party, or when completely full.
Does my dehumidifier use a lot of energy?
Dehumidifiers use a lot of energy as well. Run for a few hours a day and certainly turn off when unnecessary.
Does my air conditioner use a lot of energy?
Air conditioners – use a lot of energy – use fans when possible and monitor how long they are on.
Should I have a Programmable Thermometer installed?
Programmable Thermometers help in many ways. You can set the temperature and time for it to increase and decrease. This helps in the winter when a lot of consumers turn their heat down at night, or before they leave for work.

On a billing note:
What is a budget plan and how do I get on one?
A budget plan is a set dollar amount to be paid every month no matter what your current charges are. It is based on your monthly average and is revaluated twice a year for any adjustments needed. Your account must be current in order to participate in this program. It is particularly useful for customers when calculating their personal budget. It can be extremely valuable for consumers who use electric heat where their bill highly fluctuates between their winter and summer usage.
