South River EMC is looking out for you in a number of ways.

We offer Outage Texting. Text #out to 000530 or 888.338.5530 to report an outage.

You can also text #status to get an update, as well as receiving a text when power has been restored, less time on the phone overall. You can take control of your energy use using SmartView. The usage monitoring program updates daily to show your energy use and daily temperature highs and lows.

Members enrolled in SmartView, often become more aware of energy use patterns.

We offer Smart Alerts, for those who like reminders and notifications. You can select which alerts you receive, including: 2-day due date reminder; cutoff notification; payment receipt; special messages; severe weather alerts; and usage updates. Alerts are available via phone or email.

The South River EMC app, a new addition, is an even easier way to access your account and pay your bill, and it can be downloaded from the Apple or Google store.

The SmartEnergy Profile helps you see how energy is used in your home, based on size, appliances and temperatures and can help you see how an Energy Star refrigerator could affect your bill.

Our Advise Guys are on hand to answer questions about solar information, as well as rebates and efficiency concerns.

Members can participate in Connect to Save, a program where your thermostat is adjusted minimally during times of high electric use. It's a savings for everyone.

Watt Watchers is a -time-of-use program where you use less electricity during the busiest energy use times to help lessen the electric load.
