Dear Valued RMLD Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to read the February edition of the RMLD Current.
New England weather continues to show its characteristic unpredictability, as February brought both record cold and record warm temperatures. Our line crew was out responding to calls during the historic cold snap, braving dangerous sub-zero temperatures to restore power to our customers. Rain, shine, sub-zero windchills, record warmth, or heavy wind, we're always ready and equipped to be at your service.
We're growing our team at RMLD, and we're pleased to announce that welcomed four new employees in February. We still have some additional openings, so please check them out or send to someone you know who might be interested.
Read on to see some of our additional monthly highlights. As always, thank you for being an RMLD customer.
With Thanks,
General Manager Greg Phipps and the RMLD Team

Jump Start Spring Cleaning with a New Air Purifier |
Although it's still winter, it's not too early to think about spring cleaning. You can have an air purifier do some of the hard work for you! So how do air purifiers work? An air purifier uses a fan to pull air from your environment. The air goes through a filter that captures dust, mites, allergens, smoke, mold, and other microscopic particles. In turn, it emits pure air back into your home, so you’re breathing healthier air.
A true HEPA filter is best: When you choose a purifier with a true HEPA filter, you know it will capture 99.97 percent of small particles.
In addition to Energy Star air purifiers being 10 percent off, they're also eligible for a $40 rebate from RMLD. What are you waiting for? It's time to clear the air!

Heating Assistance Is Available from the Massachusetts Good Neighbor Energy Fund |
RMLD, a proud sponsor of the Massachusetts Good Neighbor Energy Fund, is reminding households impacted by inflation or other crises and in need of home energy assistance to apply to the Fund by visiting their local Salvation Army Corps Community Center. If unsure of where the nearest Community Center is located, please visit www.magoodneighbor.org.
The Massachusetts Good Neighbor Energy Fund, administered by The Salvation Army, is often the last resort for families who are in temporary financial difficulty and do not qualify for federal and state fuel assistance programs such as LIHEAP. The Fund’s grants are paid directly to the energy provider for households whose gross income falls between 60 and 80 percent of the state’s median income levels.
