At Clark County REMC, we know every dollar matters. Beginning with February bills, a 2.9% rate adjustment will take effect to help maintain the safe, reliable service you depend on. For the average home, this amounts to approximately $5 per month. Here are some practical steps you can take today to lower your energy use — and your bill:

Adjust your thermostat: Lower it a few degrees in winter and raise it slightly in summer. Each degree can make a difference.

Unplug devices that aren’t in use: Chargers, TVs, and computers can still draw power even when turned off.

Switch to LED bulbs: They use up to 75% less energy and last much longer.

Seal leaks and insulate: Keep warm air in and cold air out with caulking, weatherstripping, and insulation.

Utilize smart power strips and programmable thermostats to better manage your energy use automatically.

Visit WhyElectrify.com to use interactive energy calculators that show how your appliances and habits impact your bill.

Together, we can make small changes that add up to big savings — and keep our homes comfortable, efficient, and affordable.
