The typical U.S. family spends about $1,900 a year on home utility bills. Unfortunately, a large portion of that energy is wasted. For more information on how to conserve energy and save money, contact your member cooperative today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707080325-7RT176XALKWIND1KJA9V/iStock-912000730_wash.jpg Energy Efficiency - Shade outside air conditioning units A/C units shaded by trees or other means work more efficiently and use up to 10% less electricity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1551110822790-0EVECMLPJNCL6P5B7FGW/grass-meadow-sunshine-9056_wash.png Energy Efficiency - Keep debris and high grass away These obstacles block the airflow to the unit. Blockage makes the condenser work harder and run longer. It’s also a good idea to clean your A/C’s condenser coils at the beginning of the season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707366416-9E8TGNKE69AOIKNDR3A8/iStock-544116866_wash.jpg Energy Efficiency - Don’t close vents in unused rooms If you have central air-conditioning, closing vents in unused rooms could increase the pressure and cause leaks in your ducts. This does not apply to homes or apartments with window units where closing off unused rooms will reduce cooling costs and increase comfort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707197608-3AAOKY8OV4HG3ZTDQ4V5/iStock-1126511296_wash.jpg Energy Efficiency - Clean or replace filters at least once a month. Dirty filters make your system work harder and run longer than necessary. They also encourage the build-up of mold and mildew, making cleaning more difficult. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707258339-SQ28DMZ28YQXQC9PVC71/iStock-912425338_wash.jpg Energy Efficiency - Set your thermostat to savings Setting your thermostat to 78° in the summer and 68° in the winter will help you save. Each degree cooler or warmer will increase your energy use by 6 to 8%. Setting your thermostat at 72 in the summer could increase energy use by up to 40%. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707473579-YOPCLE29ES02TQFDCW8R/iStock-962003550_wash.jpg Energy Efficiency - Consider an upgrade to high efficiency New high efficiency air conditioners and heat pumps use up to 40% less electricity than older models for the same amount of running time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553706960174-B5HWGVS5O59OX5J80BHN/iStock-912425338.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707080325-7RT176XALKWIND1KJA9V/iStock-912000730_wash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1551110822790-0EVECMLPJNCL6P5B7FGW/grass-meadow-sunshine-9056_wash.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707366416-9E8TGNKE69AOIKNDR3A8/iStock-544116866_wash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707197608-3AAOKY8OV4HG3ZTDQ4V5/iStock-1126511296_wash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707258339-SQ28DMZ28YQXQC9PVC71/iStock-912425338_wash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707473579-YOPCLE29ES02TQFDCW8R/iStock-962003550_wash.jpg https://www.etec.coop/renewable-resources daily 0.75 2025-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1551109999174-FKQEYYL4I8ZIJ13W45IC/grass-meadow-sunshine-9056.jpg Renewable Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1551110313995-1ZK0EFKW2C2RDMSKUHW3/grant-wind-farm-copy-web.png Renewable Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707596427-T4BCYLVPO8B8EKNR5XQO/iStock-157524977_LR.jpg Renewable Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1551110080304-C8GEOXW32D0M9XBZ0VBH/DSC00819.JPG Renewable Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1551110313995-1ZK0EFKW2C2RDMSKUHW3/grant-wind-farm-copy-web.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553707596427-T4BCYLVPO8B8EKNR5XQO/iStock-157524977_LR.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1551110080304-C8GEOXW32D0M9XBZ0VBH/DSC00819.JPG https://www.etec.coop/member-coops daily 0.75 2025-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1560182783893-JLL3VXLYTENW0H0USAG6/iStock-1074131116.jpg Member Co-ops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1550680080047-FMGEL35YDS44PJHCA27R/service-territory Member Co-ops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1550680347710-SK8PPAK22ENTG28XV442/service-territory-legend.png Member Co-ops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c48ac7129711455c39a231a/1553706358320-AAEH8NIAEG2AXWDUXMW6/iStock-890887012.jpg Member Co-ops - Co-ops in Texas Currently in Texas, there are 75 different electric co-ops serving more than 4,200,000 member-owners.
