  On a regular basis I pass by an EREC building in Santa Rosa County… One day I noticed a sign that said “help yourself free mulch”… i’m always for free stuff! But I also noticed that the sign promoted being green. And I’ve always had an interest in protecting the earth… Maybe it was because I was raised in church and learned that that was one of the first jobs God gave people. Even so, I think this is a good statement for an electric company to make and support. Also I think that reflects well on the community. It always bothers me to see plastic bags full of leaves on the side of the road in front of houses. I wish I could do more to recycle limbs in my yard… But it is not real practical for many of us who live in town. It is really nice when a community cooperative assist us in doing something really good not only for now but for the future!

  Erec is totally customer oriented. They do a very good job . After hurricane Sally our power was restored within three days. Two days before my friend who lives in Pensacola. Great people!

  Update: ever since we have been charged the Solar Recovery fee, reliable service has fallen as we have had more small outages on sunny days, where there is really no apparent weather reason. These glitches are NOT good for electronics. I have replaced numerous surge protectors with EREC's service in the last 6 years, than I had to when I was stationed in various parts of the US and the World during my 37 years in the Navy! We went Solar to help power the grid, and to help defray the cost of electric, all with federal and state incentives. EREC and POWERSOUTH became so greedy, they now charge ONLY solar power owners a Solar Recovery Fee. This discrimination has been forwarded to the BBB, and to State and Federal representatives. There are about 65 customers who are solar owners in this EREC area, and we are the only ones being discriminated with this Solar Recovery Fee. This action only discourages people from going solar, even though their website states otherwise. Furthermore, reliable electric service has significantly declined since being charged the Solar Recovery Fee as we experienced more power interruptions on sunny days…..
