In a recent interview with one of our member-owners, we gained valuable insights into how technology can empower member-owners to manage their energy consumption effectively. Here’s a glimpse into our conversation:
We started by discussing what prompted Ms. Margie to download the Go RC & Fybe app. She revealed that her son encouraged her to use it after she expressed concerns about her high energy bills. "I didn't know y'all had an app," she admitted, but once she started using it, checking her usage became a daily ritual. "I look at it every morning," she shared. This routine helps her track her energy usage patterns closely. She appreciates how the app provides a clear, visual representation of her energy consumption, making it easier to identify peaks and lows throughout the day.
When asked what advice she would give others struggling with high energy bills, she didn't hesitate: "I would ask them if they had the app." She passionately describes how monitoring daily usage not only saves money but also empowers her to make informed decisions about her energy habits. Her enthusiasm for understanding her energy usage was evident. "I just want to try to save money," she explained. From observing spikes to adjusting her thermostat settings based on app insights, she is determined to improve her consumption.
Despite having newer appliances, finding and addressing the reason for the increase in her bills was crucial to her. Reflecting on troubleshooting, she shared how she suspected her water heater or air conditioning unit initially but later remembered that she also had a pump running on a 30-amp breaker outside. Cutting the breaker off and being able to see the change in her usage helped identify that pump as the culprit.
"I'm gonna keep right on digging until I can find some other ways to save," she stated. Her dedication to mastering her energy usage exemplifies how member-owner education and smart technology can work hand in hand to achieve sustainability goals.
Our conversation with Ms. Margie underscored the transformative impact of the Go RC & Fybe app in empowering member-owners to take control of their energy usage. Alongside monitoring energy consumption, the app offers full account management capabilities. Whether you're monitoring usage, making payments, or accessing your bill breakdown, everything is conveniently available at your fingertips through the Go RC & Fybe app.
If you're looking to optimize your energy consumption, downloading the Go RC & Fybe app could be your next step towards savings and sustainable energy management.
