Speaker 1 (00:03):
Your opinions are welcome to here fifty five KRC the
talk station.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
All right back at it we go at home with
Gary Sullivan. And as I spoke for the last couple
of weeks, there's been different energy providers that have come
out with well forecast and reality of electric rates going
up and up. And you know, I've heard fifteen, I've
(00:29):
heard twenty, I've heard thirty percent.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
So I thought i'd reach out.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
My expert. He is with TVA and Scott Harold. Welcome
that home with Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
How you doing.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I'm doing great this morning. Gary, It's beautiful, the sun
is shining, and I'm happy to be here to speak
with you.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Well, very good.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I think every homeowner is going like, what, nothing's inexpensive?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Right now? I get all that. Tell me a little
little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The TVA. We all read and learned all about the TVA.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Just give me a little background of what that is.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
And you know, while you're chatting with me, I guess
this is a good place to start.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, I'd be glad to talk to you. TVA, of course,
is the Tennessee Valley Authority and we provide electricity to
one hundred and fifty three local power companies and we
serve around ten million people across seven states. We also
serve you know, large industrial customers and some federal installations
(01:35):
as well. We are a federal agency, but we don't
get taxpayer funding, and all of our revenue comes from
the cell of electricity.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So at TVA, we really focus on three major things,
and that's the environment, energy, and economic development. So yes,
we manage the flood control and navigation and land management
for the Tennessee River system. And we assist our local
power companies and regional governments with economic development efforts. And
(02:10):
as I said, with energy, we're making sure that we
can supply enough energy for all of the residents and
businesses as well as providing them with energy efficiency and
energy saving tips.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Bengo.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And that's where we're at. And I read some of
the data if folks sent me in you know, old
appliances and you know, some energy hogs. So I'm going
to kind of just turn it over to you and
say help us out. We're kind of all in it together.
You are into conserving energy even though you're selling energy.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You know, I mean we have a you know, we.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Have a a high demand and limited supplies, and you know,
how do we save energy in our homes? We all
hear insulation and all that. Give me some tips for
this summer what we need to focus on.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Be glad to Gary. Yeah, there's several things that anybody
in your listening area can do to help save some
energy and hopefully lower from their utility costs by doing so.
And there are some things you can do that are
what I like to call low cost or no cost tips, like,
for example, turn your ceiling fans on and since it's summertime,
(03:30):
let's make sure they rotate counterclockwise and moving air in
the room helps that air to feel cooler. In some
cases it could feel as much as four degrees cooler.
So what that means is is you could actually turn
your thermostat on your heating and air system down or
I'm sorry, summer, let's go up with that so you
(03:51):
don't have to cool it as low as you think
you need to where you've got air circulating.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Absolutely things you can Other things you can do is
your blinds or your curtains on your south facing windows,
close them.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
When you get around mid day towards the end of
the day, and that helps block some of that solar
energy coming in to your house, warming it up. Another
thing that you could do as well as just make
sure that all of your doors are closed. And when
your door is closed, if you can look around it
and see daylight, that means the seal around that door
(04:29):
isn't doing what it's supposed to do, and so replacing
that weather stripping seal can help keep that cool air
in during the summer and that hot air out.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Scott.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Even controlling the humidity inside your home makes a big
difference in comfort.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Correct, it does?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yes, Okay, so one day add that around what fifty
five percent in the summertime.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Ideal that's fifty five anywhere really from fifty five up
to seventy and I guess that sort of It also
depends on where you are in the country. That range
is typically a good safe range for humidity.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Okay, all right. I talked briefly about older appliances.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I think there's a lot of people listening that have
a thirty year old refrigerator sitting in the garage.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I assume that's an energy hog.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yes, it very much can be an energy hog. What
we recommend is that if you are needing to replace
your main refrigerator in your house. The best thing to
do is to recycle that refrigerator, or if whomever you're
buying that new refrigerator from, can they haul away your
old one. Because it's very easy to say, hey, I'll
(05:44):
take my old one, move it to the garage or
some other area in my house and use it for
a backup. But it's very inefficient and it's not going
to save you the money you think you're going to
save once you get that new one.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
It's tall goodn't agree with you more. How about our
air conditioning systems. I know I talk about this often.
Everybody's offering will give you a tune up. It's eighty
nine dollars and then we'll be your best friend. And
so there's a business angle of that, but there's also
an efficiency angle. Tell us about the importance of having
(06:22):
that air conditioner air handler cleaned up, tuned up going
into the season.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'd be glad to gary. You you're heating an air
system is your largest consumer of electricity in your home,
and so it's very important to keep that air filter
changed regularly. It's best to change it once a month.
Some places you can purchase filters where you can go
as long as about two months without replacing it. But
(06:51):
that's the number one thing that people need to do
is keep that air filter changed regularly. Second thing I
always recommend is getting it tuned up at minimum once
a year. Down here in the Southeast with the TVA,
we recommend having your system tuned up twice a year,
and that way it's an optimal operation for the summer
(07:13):
season and it's an it's in its best operating conditions
for the winter as well.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Scott a little bit here too.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I want to just tell people, you know, those folks
that are looking to tune it up, they're looking to
be a partner when you need it in their conditioning.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
They're not offering that to scam you.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And I always tell people if you got bad news
they find something that's wrong with the unit, go have
another inspection if you'd like, and you know, keep it
above board. But they're offering you a good price to
come in and look at the unit and tune it up.
In a lot of cases, will give you discounts on
(07:56):
parts down the road, move you to like a VIP
list in the middle winter if the thing would break down.
So there's many benefits in having that air handler and
air conditioner tuned up. It's very advantageous to do that.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I couldn't agree with you more and yes, it is
as recommended. By getting it regularly serviced, you catch those
problems early before it becomes an emergency changeout system. And
in our area, we offer rebates through our quality contractor network,
so when they come out to do a tune up,
(08:36):
you potentially qualify for a rebate on the cost of
that tune up. What I would recommend to your listeners
is go check with their local utility providers and see
just exactly if a rebate is offered in their area. Sure,
and that helps go a long way to help, you know,
minimize the impact of your pocketbook as well as maximize
(08:57):
the lifespan efficiency of your heating.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
And air system.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Is you know, if it comes to the point where
it needs to be replaced, whether you know, the compressor
of the A C. Whatever, are there generally rebates on
that now, do you know?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Or does it very you know different areas of the country.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Different areas of the country are going to offer different things, okay,
but generally there should be in most areas something that
the utility company or the HVAC contractor could offer in
terms of assistance, whether that may be like an our area,
for example, we offer rebates for the installations of new
(09:40):
heating and air systems, and there's also potential financing assistance available.
And so all I would say is to all of
your listeners, go out, check it out, go to their
website or give them a call, see what your options are.
And you're exactly right. Go out and do a little
bit of research and make sure you're getting the best
(10:01):
deal for what you need.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Sure you know.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
One of the things too, is we look at a
house and it's more than just the inside of the house.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Planning a tree blocks radiant energy.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And I know that seems real simple, but it too
comes into play, and so I encourage people to even
do that.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Now, one last question, I just read this.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
With the AI and everything that's going on is driving
up the demand dramatically for electricity, and how's the TVA
planning their growth?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
And what I read is that true.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
We are always planning for load growth, and so whether
it be the latest technology like AI, or it be
like in the past it was data centers. So we
are constantly monitoring the movement into the valley, which whether
it be businesses or residential homes and reevaluating our generation
(11:03):
fleet to make sure we can stay up and meet
that demand.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Do you have a website with some of these tips
on Scott that we can send my listeners to.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Absolutely if they would go to energyright dot com. That's
all one word energy r I, G H T right
dot com. So then click in for the home and
they'll be just a lot of information there in terms
of what they could potentially do in terms of next
steps for energy saving tips, okay, energy rebates and any
(11:38):
other things in between.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
That very good because as I said earlier, we are
all in this together. And conservation certainly the key insulation
certainly helps a lot. I always say insulation and ventilation.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yes, that's exactly right. The ventilation making sure that everything's
cleaned out so that the air can flow through as
easily as possible, keeping your systems tuned up. Insulation, making
sure you have enough because over time that blown in
insulation can settle. That's just the way that it's designed
(12:17):
to be. And so nothing wrong with having somebody come
in and take a look and just see do you
have enough, and if not, add a.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Little extra top it off.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Also about yes, top it off.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Go ahead. I'm sorry does say.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
You are absolutely right as well about planting trees outside.
My recommendation on this. When you go to plant a tree,
do your research on what side of the house north,
southeast or west would best fit the type of tree
you want to plant, and make sure you plant it
far enough away that it doesn't grow its roots under
your foundation and that you know, potentially work against blowing
(12:56):
all the leaves into the gutter system. So in the
fall and winter you don't have a nice dam.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Right, but a big tree far enough away from the
home sure can block some sun. And it's like you
don't I said last week, you don't pitch your tent
in the middle of a ball field or a field.
You pitch it in the woods.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Hey, Scott, thanks so much for joining us today. I
certainly appreciate your time, and I'm sure you're all working
hard at the TVA.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Always working hard to make sure we can provide power
to our customers in the valley.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Thank you have a great day.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
You do the same.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Thank you all right, So a couple of tips there for.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You and we are all working together, we all are
working hard, we're all trying to save some money. I
guess if I looked at my home based on what
he just said, do have a little refrigerator in the
garage which does not need to be there, and especially now,
there's very little in it and we don't need it.
If it's not there, we're not going to use it.
(13:59):
That would be a big consumer. The other thing is
I've added installation of the house, but probably need to
have that inspected too. Think about what your needs are. Well, continue,
We got Donna, Kathy, Teresa. If you'd like to join us,
do so. At Home with Gary Sullivan.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
You and we are all working together, we all are
working hard, we're all trying to save some money. I
guess if I looked at my home based on what
he just said, do have a little refrigerator in the
garage which does not need to be there, and especially now,
there's very little in it and we don't need it.
If it's not there, we're not going to use it.

That would be a big consumer. The other thing is
I've added installation of the house, but probably need to
have that inspected too. Think about what your needs are. Well, continue,
