Home, sweet home

Your service often comes from local people who are York Electric members. Here, Purchasing Agent Phil Leake plays with his children (from left) Mason, Harper and Sayla in the aftermath of Winter Storm Diego. “Working hard ahead of time, planning and gathering the materials needed to make repairs after a storm gets the lights back quickly for our members—my family included,” Leake says.

There is something special about being at home, feeling safe, and taking it easy. Home is a sanctuary where families come together, and the American dream comes true. Your cooperative helps make your house a home by keeping your lights on and toes warm and by dedicating ourselves to serving you and our communities. That’s the value of your membership.

You may remember last year we focused on providing you with a frictionless service experience. This year, we are starting a member comfort initiative that will bring that same comfort of home to you in each aspect of service. The feelings you get from being in the comfort of your own home, the ease of access to make your day-to-day lives easier and the family atmosphere are the essence of the cooperative difference. Your Cooperative’s value goes beyond reliable service–it’s community-minded, locally owned and operated, and provides peace of mind that we are looking out for you.

This year, we will continue focusing on communication, keeping you up-to-date on cooperative news, improvements to your service and new tools to increase your awareness of your energy use. Look for “Member Comfort” news briefs in the magazine and on social media, along with tutorials on electrical safety, service reliability and saving energy. For example, we are working to continue improving outage notifications to include estimated times of restoration and improved online experiences so that you can take care of your account from the convenience of your phone.

We look forward to serving you and are excited for the additional service perks that will become part of your valued membership. Sit back, enjoy the ride and look for a comfortable 2019.
