  • The Affordable Connectivity Program

    The Affordable Connectivity Program is an Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program benefit program that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more. If your household is eligible, you can receive:

    •  Up to a $30/month discount on your broadband service and associated equipment rentals.

    The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.

  • Eligible BEC members can make upgrades to their home or business to save energy and money with this BEC program. The program offers zero down, low interest financing for up to 10 years for eligible energy improvements including upgrading or replacing your HVAC and/or furnace, windows, doors, insulation, water heater, pool, spa and well pumps, and more. There is no credit check and the financing is tied to the meter, not the member.

    As part of the program, participating members receive an in-depth energy audit of their home or business and energy monitoring software to save on their electric bill. They also receive recommended energy efficiency upgrades to improve the comfort of their home or business. Members can even finance a solar power system, battery storage and EV charging infrastructure through the program.

     
  • The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps keep families safe and healthy through initiatives that assist families with energy costs through federally funded assistance in managing costs associated with home energy bills, energy crises, weatherization and energy-related minor home repairs.
