High Energy Alert

Did you receive a High Usage text? If so, we’ve noticed a recent increase in your electricity consumption, which may be linked to the extreme temperatures we’ve been experiencing. To monitor your usage, please visit your Online Portal or use our Central EMC app.

A sudden spike in usage could indicate an issue with one of your home systems. We suggest checking your heat pump and water heater to ensure they are functioning properly. You may also want to inspect for any possible leaking pipes, which can contribute to increased energy consumption. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit from one of our Energy Advisors, please call us at 919-774-4900.

Close this window for more energy efficiency tips and to learn more about why your bill goes up in the winter months.
