Home Energy Suite:
Northeastern REMC is proud to provide our members with energy resources like the Home Energy Suite. We hope that you find this tool insightful. A wealth of information is available when you use this suite. It can help you reduce your energy usage thus lowering your monthly energy bill.

The Home Energy Suite Library is specific to home energy systems and it has home, appliance, and lighting calculators that will provide you with tons of information about how energy is used in your home. If you're looking for fun, check out our Kids Korner - a delightful and educational site that will teach children all they ever wanted to know about energy!

Home Energy Calculator:
This calculator will provide you with estimates of energy use costs based on your inputs for your home. The annual and monthly results are to provide a base for comparison purposes only.

Appliance Calculator
With the appliance calculator all you need to do is select which types of appliances you use on a typical day. The calculator will give you estimates of how much energy your appliances are using. In addition, you will also see how much your appliances are costing to operate (estimated annual cost).

Note: *Appliances such as microwaves, VCR’s, and televisions continue to use energy when they are turned off. These “phantom” loads are included in this calculator. Appliance Energy-Use Calculators can only compute approximate energy-use values.

Lighting Calculator
Would you like to see how much money you can save on your electric bill per month or per year just by switching to CFLs? Click on the lighting calculator link. It's easy to use and will provide you with estimates of your current approximate energy use costs based on your input.

If you have recently completed certain energy efficient upgrades to your home or business you might be able to receive credit on your 2006 and 2007 tax returns.
