"We live better because of the many
ways electricity works for us"
Says the Eugene Netardus family of El Campo.
From their hi-fi to the heat pump, the Eugene Netardus family wouldn't part
with a single one of their 48 electric appliances.
"When we think of the many, many ways our appliances work for us, we
really appreciate the big value we get from electric service," Mrs. Netardus says.
"Our electric heat pump gets the most use," Mr. Netardus says, "heating our
entire home in the winter and cooling it in the summer. We've lived in our
all-electric home for two years and are really sold on its advantages."
Mrs. Netardus says her electric dishwasher alone saves her many hours every
week. So do the washer and dryer. "The wonderful thing is that I can be doing
something else while the dishes and clothes are washing," she points out.
Like thousands of other CPL customers, the Netardus family lives better by
making generous and effective use of modern electric service — today's biggest
value.
