LEC offers options that help members conserve during extreme temperatures

Laurens Electric Cooperative exists solely to serve its members. Since any profits above operating costs are returned members in the form of Capital Credit checks, Laurens Electric never benefits when our members use more power or have higher bills. That’s why we’ve offered many different ways to save energy and reduce heating and cooling costs.

One such program is called AveragePay. If your electric bill varies widely from month to month, this budget plan spreads payments throughout the year. Average pay makes your electric bill predictable by using a rolling average of your present month’s bill and eleven previous months’ bills, plus your current balance. With AveragePay there is never any sign-up fee or monthly service charge, but you must have been a member of the co-op for at least a year to apply.

Energy-use myths exposed

Myth: Leaving a light on uses less energy than turning it off and on several times.

Truth: Leaving an incandescent light on uses more energy than turning it on and off as needed. If you're using a compact fluorescent light, it should be left on if it will be needed again within 15 minutes. Switching CFLs on and off frequently shortens their lives.
