You're Part of
Something Special
Greetings!

October leads us into the holidays, and it's also a month where communities reconnect after scattering for the summer season. Whether it's through trick or treat nights, homecomings, or other events, neighbors are coming together.

October is also National Cooperative Month, and as a member of Consolidated Cooperative you're part of a very special community. Want to know more? Click on the photo and watch a new video from the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.

Best wishes,
Your Team at Consolidated Cooperative
Four Reasons for Leaving Your HVAC's Fan on Auto

There are two schools of thought when it comes to the fan on your HVAC unit.

Turn it on and forget it, or set the fan on “AUTO” so that it runs only when the unit kicks on.

If Norbert, our spokesmodel, has her way, she would prefer to avoid a continual flow of air (too drafty!) and ditch the sweater. She votes for keeping the fan on "AUTO."

Note: Norbert's "pet parents" are Dan and Shelley Bunyard. Dan is a Systems Administrator in the Information Systems department at the co-op. Norbert lived with the Bunyards for a year before they found out that he was a she; hence, her name. According to Dan, Norbert has a larger-than-life personality.
 
Rebates for Saving
Energy and Money

One of the questions we're often asked is why Consolidated promotes rebates for energy efficient products. After all, the service we provide is energy, so why on earth would we encourage people to use less of it?

The answer’s easy: As a not-for-profit cooperative, our sole mission is to offer products and services that enhance our members' quality of life.

Create a Coffee Bar this Fall
Looking for a fun way to entertain family and friends this fall and during the holidays?

Consolidated Cooperative’s Chief Human Resources Officer Pam Hawk, who enjoys a reputation as a wonderful hostess, started a coffee bar tradition in a small nook at her home. Pam is headed for retirement this coming January, and we have a feeling her family and friends will be stopping by often for a good cup of coffee.
