When it comes to electricity, we rarely think twice when we flip on a light switch, brew coffee in the morning, charge our phones or adjust the thermostat. We simply expect the power to be there, and that’s how it should be because you are a member of Lake Country Power.
Many families across our local communities are feeling the impact of rising costs for everyday expenses. And because of that, LCP understands that every household is carefully considering where each dollar goes.
The average U.S. residential electric bill is about $150 a month or roughly $5 a day. It's about the cost of a specialty coffee, yet electricity powers nearly every moment of our daily lives. In fact, many typical purchases cost more than a day's worth of electricity. A fast-food meal averages about $9, a movie ticket can cost around $13.
For about $5 a day, your refrigerator keeps food fresh around the clock. Your heating and cooling system helps keep your family comfortable through the seasons. When you think about everything electricity makes possible, it’s one of the greatest values in the average household budget.
If you’re looking for ways to lower your energy use, Lake Country Power is here to help. Whether you need efficiency advice from our energy advisors, information about co-op rebates and efficiency programs or answers to questions about your monthly bill, the cooperative team is always available.
Thank you for being a Lake Country Power member and trusting the co-op to power your home and your life.
