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.

• 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.
