HEAT RATE PROGRAM DETAILS

How to participate in McLean Electric Cooperative’s heat rate program:
• 240-volt electrical heating circuit systems on a sub-meter (separate meter to measure electric heat usage) qualify, such as baseboard and cove heat, wall units, boilers, electric furnaces, and unit heaters.
• Member-owners must purchase the meter socket and pick it up at MEC’s Garrison office with either the member-owner or electrician installing it. It will be billed separately from their monthly statement.
• Meter sockets must be installed outside so the meter can be accessible by MEC line crews, if needed, for servicing. Contact MEC when the socket installation is complete so that MEC meter technicians can verify the proper installation and install the meter.
• Sub-metered heat usage qualifies for the discounted heat rate, although there is a $3 monthly sub-meter base charge.
• Because the discount applies from Oct. 1 through April 30, other heat usage during the year is billed the standard residential kWh rate.
