Products and Services

The diversity of DEMCO products and services are designed to help our members, but also improves the overall efficiency of our entire operation. Improving operational efficiency helps us provide safe, reliable and affordable electricity to all of our members, as our mission statement describes.

StrikeSafe - For only $7.49 per month, StrikeSafe provides surge protection for your home at the electric meter, telephone, and cable connections-safeguarding your home from excessive and unsafe voltage levels. These protectors connect to the points-of-entrance to your home and provide a limited product warranty from the manufacturer for damage claims.

Although StrikeSafe is not a "force-field" protecting the home from a direct or nearby lightning strike, it provides the best protection from voltage caused by lightning strikes and power surges from entering your home through the electric meter, telephone and cable line. Although StrikeSafe cannot protect you from everything Mother Nature has to offer, it provides an excellent first line of defense.

Load Management - The Load Management Terminal (LMT) is a service available to DEMCO member, which provides the member and cooperative the ability to work together in keeping electric rates affordable.

The LMT provides the customer a $5 per A/C unit savings on the monthly electric bill, while allowing DEMCO the ability to cycle the A/C compressor during peak utility usage. By allowing the cooperative to cycle the A/C unit, DEMCO can save costly electric purchases for the entire membership by reducing the peak demand for power during the hot summer months, subsequently reducing the wholesale purchase price of electricity. This is one of the key reasons why DEMCO has some of the lowest electric rates in the Gulf South region.

Touchstone Energy® Home - The Touchstone Energy® Home features a program designed to make your home energy efficient while providing an opportunity to qualify for a rebate up-to .10 cents per square foot of living area. These construction guidelines and equipment recommendations are described later in the Touchstone PDF FILE

Technically, the use of these features mean that a home's energy requirements for heating and cooling can be reduced by as much as 40 percent over a conventional constructed home while maintaining and even improving comfort levels.

Security Lighting - A DEMCO security light can enhance your nightlife activities and offer security for your property year-round. Visit the residential section of the website to learn more about the low-cost security lights that are available to all DEMCO members.
