November 2023

Your Touchstone Energy Cooperative

🦃 We're Thankful for YOU

November is the beginning of the holiday season—as we celebrate Thanksgiving—as well as the month when winter often descends upon our state.

To begin the season safely, read this month’s articles on storing leftovers after your holiday celebrations, protecting your home and family if you turn on portable heaters and the danger of overloading circuits.

Please call us if you have questions about portable heaters or electrical circuits, or have other electrical safety (or energy efficiency) concerns.
