Heat Wave Brings Increased Energy Usage

Temperatures reaching 100 degrees in spring is luckily not something we see each year. But a heat wave in June brought us several record-setting heat days.

Unfortunately, when the temperature goes up, so does the amount of energy used in your home. The largest energy user in most homes is the HVAC unit. And with several days in triple-digit temperatures, those HVAC units were running more and more to keep homes cool. (95460001)

There are several steps you can take to lower your energy usage, which will help lower your energy bill. For simple energy tips that you can apply in your home, visit tri-countyemc.com/energy-saving-tips.cms 

In addition, you can take the surprise out of your monthly billing statement by enrolling in levelized billing. Each month, you will pay an average of the past eleven month’s bills plus the current month. Your usage will fluctuate a few dollars each month, but there is no periodic “true up” adjustment. To qualify for levelized billing , accounts must have a good credit history and must be at least twelve months old. This service is available for owned residences. Learn more at tri-countyemc.com/levelized-billing.cms.

If you have any questions regarding your account, our Customer Service Representatives are available by calling 1.866.254.8100.
