Member Services

    Times change, and business's continue to change and grow to meet the needs of its customers.  Sullivan County Rural Electric Cooperative is no different.   The primary objective for Sullivan County REC  has been the same since it was first incorporated...to provide the most reliable service at the lowest price possible.
    The needs of our members has changed over time to where members are interested in security lights, water heaters,  time of use meters...even load control.
    On the right are links to some of the services currently available to cooperative members.


Energy Audits

    A free energy audit is available from the cooperative for those consumers with high electrical usage or for those wishing to make changes and improvements in their home. 
    We will be glad to help you make informed decisions concerning insulation levels, weather-stripping, home heating and water heating.  Contact our office if you would like more information about this service.


Security Lighting

    The cooperative offers a security light program as an additional service to members.  For a monthly fee, the cooperative will install and maintain the outdoor lighting equipment on a treated pole at a location mutually agreeable to both the cooperative and the consumer.  The lighting equipment shall be electrically connected so that the power for operation of the light does not pass through the member's meter.

Time-of-Use Billing

    Time-of-Use Billing is available for those who can lower their usage during on-peak demand times.  The On-Peak Period shall be those weekday hours from June 1 through September 30th beginning at 1:00 p.m. and ending at 6:00 p.m., excluding Independence Day and Labor Day.  For the usage months of October through May, the Shoulder Peak Period shall be those weekday hours from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., excluding Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and Memorial Day.  All other hours shall be considered the Off-Peak Period.  The On-Peak Energy shall be the kilowatt hours recorded during the On-Peak Period.  The Off-Peak Energy shall be the kilowatt hours recorded during the Off-Peak Period.


Electric Thermal Storage

    Electric heat is a clean and efficient way of heating your home.  In order to make electric heat more economical, the cooperative has developed an Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) program consisting of a special rate schedule.
    The ETS units heat bricks during off-peak times and the savings in demand charges can then be passed along to you by way of a special rate.


Load Management

    Save $24 per year by allowing the cooperative to install a load control receiver on your water heater.  The load management system shuts off water heaters and ETS units during a few peak times per month in order to avoid expensive demand charges.
    You should never realize your water heater is being controlled.
    The system works very well and saves thousands and thousands of dollars each year.  These savings help hold down your rates.  Many consumers have signed up for this program.  We ask that you consider joining this valuable program to help hold down the cost of power and your electric bill.

Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb Drop Off


    Within a few years you will no longer be able to purchase the old traditional incandescent light bulbs we all grew up on.  To help cut down on green house effects, and to help save energy the United States (and the world) are turning to compact fluorescent lights (CFL's).

    Of course one of the biggest questions is how to dispose of them once they no longer work.  To help customers dispose of their CFL"s, Sullivan County REC has a drop off box located in our office.  So, if you have one, ten, or more, simply drop them off at our office located on Route 87 just outside of Forksville.
