Contrary to many investor-owned electric utilities, electric cooperatives like Farmers Electric want to help you save money by maximizing the efficiency of your home, appliances and other electronics. That’s because we are not in the business of making a profit. Anything above and beyond our operating costs are given back to our members as capital credits.
If it’s time to replace your water heater, upgrade your old appliances, or maximize the efficiency of your home, make sure to check out the incentives Farmers offers and save!
