Carroll White REMC is beginning the process of changing out the demand response units associated with our water heater and air conditioner program. Some members may remember this as the load management switches from years ago.

Due to changes in technology and communications, we are beginning the process of replacing these nearly 4,000 units on the system. For those who have purchased a water heater in the past five to seven years and have been told a unit will be installed at some point, this is the time.

Members should anticipate a call from our Energy Advisor, Quinton Randle, to schedule this appointment. Randle will first focus on the areas of our newest substations. Those substations are the Jackson sub near Idaville, the Freedom sub near Delphi and the Andersons, and near Bringhurst. 

The process of changing out all of the units will take a few years, so this will be an ongoing project. In order for members to continue to receive the free maintenance on the water heaters, you will need to have this device changed out.

Any questions, please contact Quinton Randle at 800-844-7161 or by email at qrandle@cwremc.coop.
