Reminders:

• Time-of-use electric rates begin in June and end on Sept. 30. The peak hours are from 3 p.m.-8 p.m. each weekday. Weekends and holidays are excluded from peak hours.
  
  
• If you are using electricity for the production of poultry and for use in irrigation of crops, the usage is exempt from sales tax. You must fill out an exemption form to comply. Contact us for more information: (229) 268-2671.
  
  
• Middle Georgia EMC’s Annual Meeting of Members will be held on July 11 at the Dooly Campground. The official notice will be in the July edition of this magazine. No special mail-out notice will be provided this year.
  
  
• Summer residential rates began in May and will continue through October. The summer rate is a little higher than in the winter; however, it is still below average in the state, according to the Georgia Public Service Commission survey. Log on to www.psc.state.ga.us, under “Electric—Residential Rate Surveys” for a comparison.
  
  
• Rebates for conversion of gas heat to electric heat pump continue, even through the summer. You can get $150 per ton of horsepower capacity and $250 per water heater conversion from gas to electric. So far, 78 homes have received these rebates.
  
  
• Middle Georgia EMC provides 24-hour dispatching in case of power outages. Unless numerous calls are coming in during a major outage, you will contact a “live” person instead of an automated service when you call.
