A greener future
It’s the greening of the electric grid. Today, more than 20% of the power you receive from Connexus Energy comes from renewable energy. That number continues to climb as more solar, wind, and other renewables are added to today’s power portfolio. If you want 100% renewable energy at your home or business, we have programs to help you achieve your green goals. Visit us at connexusenergy.com for more information.
Welcome back bees
It’s a sweet sign of spring as Connexus welcomes back the bees to our community solar garden. Our successful partnership with Bolton Bees continues. If you are interested in touring our bee apiary, we will be hosting a free event for our members during Pollinator Week in June. If you are a SolarWise subscriber, your free jar of honey will once again be available later this fall. Watch for more details on our website.
Why Wi-Fi thermostats?
If you’re still wondering what makes Wi-Fi thermostats special from ordinary thermostats, here are three reasons that may help you make the switch.
- Control from anywhere. A Wi-Fi thermostat can help you control your home temperature from anywhere. It makes your life very easy.
- Smart device compatibility. Use your laptop, pc, tablet, phone, etc., to control your thermostat. You’re already familiar with those devices, and the applications for the Wi-Fi thermostats are very user-friendly.
- More savings. Wi-Fi thermostats give you more control which ultimately results in more energy savings. With Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostats, an average family can save around $110 per year on their energy bills.
There is still time to get in on our FREE Wi-Fi thermostat offer, as well as a special discount offer on the Lyric Round. Get all the details.
Sign up for outage alerts
We know power outages can be disruptive. Our team works hard to prevent them, but they can still happen now and again. That is why we offer text and email alerts to let you know when your power is out and when you can expect it to be restored. Before you sign up, you first need to register your account online.
We all pay for energy theft
Stealing electricity is dangerous, against the law, and ultimately costs all our members. It is illegal to tamper with electric service or reconnect it. Protect yourself and others by reporting anyone tapping into a line, bypassing a meter, or tampering with equipment to our Member Services at 763.323.2650. You will remain anonymous and any information you report will be confidential.
Why we ask for your SSN
When you call to get any information about your Connexus Energy account, we ask for your social security number. Specifically, we use the last four digits for identification. If you are the primary account holder, you must make special arrangements for others, including your spouse, to access your account information. These requirements are in place to protect you from identity theft.
