Cool Returns
Save Energy! Get $100!
Over the past 20 years, the percentage of homes with
air conditioning has nearly doubled for Ohio’s electric
cooperatives. This means more electricity is needed
during the summer, which can create times of high
demand. Electric companies must provide enough
electricity for these times. But at what cost?
The Cool Returns program helps control demand and
future energy prices — but only if you participate.
What is Cool Returns?
This energy management program allows you to help reduce energy use when demand for energy
is at its highest, generally on extremely hot and
humid summer days.
Brief, periodic cycling of the central air conditioning
system can reduce the demand for electricity during
this time. And that can help keep your energy costs
down.
