Energy Wise Unmetered Air Conditioning Program – 10%
savings
Save money while staying cool during the summer
months. This program is free to join and you will receive a 10% discount on all energy usage billed to the main meter on statements dated June through September each year. Program requirements and details.
- The 10% discount applies to your statements on your main meter dated during the
months of June-September.
- MVEC installs an energy management switch (free of charge) on your
home near your central air conditioner.
- During peak electricity usage, the switch cycles your central air
conditioner on and off. The furnace fan continues to circulate cool
air in your home.
- By having your air conditioner cycled this helps to control the energy
demand and helps the cooperative save on wholesale power costs.
- Your monthly savings will appear on your electric statement each month
under “Energy Wise Savings this Month.”
- Participation in this program automatically carries forward every
year.
- To participate you must have a residential service with MVEC. Window
or through-the-wall air conditioners (plug in units) are not eligible
unless they are hard wired into the home’s electric service panel.
- Members who rent their home must have the home owner’s written
permission to join.
- Members with small businesses or more than one central air conditioner
will receive a $9/month bill credit on statements dated during the months
of June – September of every year. You must use a minimum of 200
kWh each month to qualify for the bill credit.
- Members must participate for a minimum of one year.

Electric Water Heating Programs
Energy Wise Unmetered Electric Water Heating Program - Save Up to $72!
This free Energy Wise program helps reduce energy costs associated with running an electric water heater and you will save $72 annually. That means less energy use, lower operating costs and a cleaner environment for all of us.
Program requirements and details
- Members receive a $6.00 bill credit each month on their electric
bill.
- MVEC installs an energy management switch (free of charge). The water
heater is controlled only during peak electricity usage times through
this switch.
- Members must use a 200 kWh minimum each month to qualify for this
program.
- Participation in this program carries forward every year.
- Once MVEC receives the sign up form we will contact you to set up
an appointment to install the energy management switch. This procedure
takes about 1½ hours and MVEC will need to have access to the
water heater.
- Members who rent their home must have the home owner’s written
permission to join this program.
- Members must participate for a minimum of one year.
- MVEC members are not permitted to receive the monthly Energy Wise
credit for their Unmetered Electric Water Heating Program when their
electric water heater is not operating 24/7/365 in any out-building
at their service location. If MVEC finds this type of situation in the
field the member will be notified by mail that such water heaters do
not qualify for the Energy Wise Unmetered Water Heating program and
therefore their Energy Wise credit will be removed from their monthly
billing statement.

Members need to be aware that successful participation in the Energy Wise water heating program depends on having the correct size of water heater for your home and size of family. To confirm your agreement with this policy, please print out, sign and return this form.
