SUMMER SAVING TIPS

Hot temperatures outside often mean higher energy consumption inside your home. When it comes to keeping your electric bill low, small actions lead to big energy savings. Try some of our top energy saving tips:

Keep your thermostat as high as comfortable. Experts recommend 78º in the summer.

Close your blinds and curtains to keep the sun from heating up your home during the day.

Clean or replace HVAC filters monthly.

Make sure all seals are intact like weather stripping around doors and caulking around windows. cobbemc.com/save

POWERING YOU TODAY AND TOMORROW

Our team is focused on bringing you value and savings through innovation and continual improvement. Every day, we work around-the-clock to power your homes and businesses with the most advanced technology — all while keeping electric rates as affordable as possible and delivering value beyond electricity.

TOGETHER WE SAVE

At a time when Americans’ electric bills are going up all around the country — in some places by as much as 40 percent — our focus remains on keeping rates affordable for you. In 2021 Cobb EMC protected members from $10 million in rising wholesale power costs with diligent internal cost controls and the help of dividends received from Gas South, our wholly owned subsidiary.

Gas South helps Cobb EMC remain financially strong, which helps to keep electric rates low and reliability solid. Our electric rates are among the top five lowest in Georgia, according to the Public Service Commission*. We are always working for you — our members.

DELIVERING VALUE

When you receive power from Cobb EMC, you are a member of our cooperative. Member benefits include educational seminars and events, valuable discounts through our Co-op Connections program, and seasonal energy saving rebates.

BRIGHTENING OUR COMMUNITY

We’re working hard to make our community a wonderful place to work and live. Cobb EMC partners with 150 schools across our five-county service area to provide STEM and literacy activities. We also sponsored more than $700,000 in scholarships for 225 local students. cobbemc.com/community

RELIABLE POWER

We are continually working to strengthen our smart grid technology and system infrastructure to provide reliable power to our members. Cobb EMC is ranked 1st in the nation for restoring outages quickly, and 2nd for providing reliable power according to the IEEE. cobbemc.com/reliable

*Based on total electric bill amounts of 1000 kWh.
