In this episode of Co-op Conversations with DEMCO, host David Latona sits down with Ashley Carradine, DEMCO’s Energy Services Coordinator, to talk about easy ways members can reduce their electric use—especially during the hot summer months—without giving up comfort or control.

Ashley explains how much energy typical household appliances use and where you can make the biggest impact. From laundry habits and ceiling fan tricks to tips for managing pool pumps and smart thermostats, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you take control of your energy bill.

You’ll also learn about DEMCO’s Levelized Billing program, which can help you avoid seasonal bill spikes by spreading your usage costs more evenly across the year.
