Reduce My Bill

There are many steps that can be taken to reduce overall consumption of electricity. Some examples include converting to LED lights, purchasing energy star appliances and permanent heat sources rather than space heaters.

Use electricity at off-peak times. This could mean delaying the dishwasher or clothes dryer a few hours (many have the functionality built in). In many cases, timers and programmable thermostats can help in making this a hassle-free adjustment. Make sure to sign up for our peak alerts as they will help you identify the highest probability for peak events. Load control is also an option.

Avoid times when all major electrical loads in your home are running simultaneously. If you’d rather not have to think about this, hardware is available that can be installed in your home that will manage this for you (based on parameters that you establish).

Help the co-op keep costs down by enrolling in programs like paperless billing and autopay. Proactively report anything you see that may cause an outage (a tree branch above a power line, a pole that is leaning significantly…)
