May 2018

This Month’s Issue:

As all of us homeowners know all too well, there’s always something new on the project list. In this issue, we’re offering up some options for that list that could go far in helping your house use energy more efficiently (and trimming monthly bills). If you’re hungry for more, reach out to your local electric co-op — they have an energy expert at the ready to talk through other ways to get your home in top form.
