Rarely, if ever, will your air-conditioner run continuously, even on the hottest days. On peak electric days, about 10 to 20 days each summer, No Sweat uses smart technology to briefly stagger air-conditioning run times of participating customers. If you and your neighbor  participate in No Sweat, while your air-conditioner or heat pump is running, your neighbor’s system may be paused. The maximum time any system can be paused at one time is just seven minutes. And the indoor blower will still operate, keeping cool air circulating. Most customers will never notice that the program has been activated. After all, it’s No Sweat. It’s cheaper to conserve energy than to build new power plants. By participating in No Sweat, you will help avoid the need for new electric generation, meaning direct savings for Tri-County EMC. And the cooperative way means returning the savings to you. For each year you participate, you’ll receive a $25 bill credit and the satisfaction of knowing you are making an impact on our environment.
