Powering smart summer choices
Summer brings sunshine, celebrations and a chance to slow down—or speed up—depending on how you spend the season. At Southeastern Indiana REMC, we know that smarter choices now can lead to safer homes, lower bills and more peace of mind in the months ahead.
That’s why this issue of REMC Connect is packed with ideas to help you power through the season with confidence. You’ll find energy-saving insights straight from our CEO in the Ask the CEO column, tips for spotting hidden power hogs using tools like the WhyElectrify.com appliance calculator, and guidance for managing your home while you’re away—thanks to your SEI Fiber connection.
Our feature stories invite you to cut the cord and explore the world of streaming, with a hands-on Streaming 101 class for members ready to ditch cable or satellite. Plus, we’re offering up practical ways to stay cool and safe during heat waves and holiday fun—like our firework and electrical safety reminders for the Fourth of July.
And because summer is also about community and celebration, we’re shining a spotlight on members and employees who help power our cooperative spirit, sharing patriotic recipes in The Co-op Kitchen, and featuring Picture This photo submissions that capture the joy of Stars, Stripes and Summertime.
No matter where summer takes you—on the road, in the backyard or offline for a digital detox—we’re here to help you make choices that keep your home efficient, connected and safe.
Here’s to smart habits, strong connections and a summer full of bright moments.
