Top of PageYou 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. GenerLink SAFE: GenerLink eliminates
