Blue Ridge Mountain EMC may be your Power Company, Internet, and even TV

When it comes to utilities in Murphy, NC, or any other place for that matter, hardly anything is more important than having power to your home. Blue Ridge Mountain Electric Membership Corporation, or as most people call it, Blue Ridge EMC, is likely one of the largest power companies in our area. They serve not only Cherokee County, but also a large area in Northeast Georgia.

BREMC LogoSince we have a total of four power companies that serve our area, The location of your home dictates which company you choose. There’s a very good likelihood that BREMC may be your power company since they serve the largest geographic area. However, you will want to verify that.

When you call to set up service, you will need both the address of the property and the meter number on the home. They will not set up your service without the meter number, so ensure you do have it.

Since they distribute power courtesy of the TVA that is generated via hydroelectric dam, their rates are typically very affordable.

If you are fortunate enough to live in an area where they provide Internet, you will love their service! They offer fiber-optic Internet and also some direct point-to-point Internet. They can easily accommodate speeds of 20+ megabytes per second. You do have to check availability for this because it is only available in select locations.

Also if you have fiber optic service available at your home, they can provide TV service AND home telephone in addition to your internet! With packages varying, they start around $99 per month for all 3 services. If fiber optic is not available at your house, than you’ll want to go with our traditional land line phone company.

In the event of a power outage, they are very responsive! They have a wonderful crew that gets out and gets power operating as quickly as possible. They really are good folks.

Clogged Dryer Vents and Grates are Dangerous!

As part of the home buying process here in Murphy, NC, we highly recommend having a home inspection completed on your new home. You want to ensure what you’re buying is what you expect it to be and make you aware of any repairs needing to be completed right away.

Clogged Dryer VentWe just had a home inspection completed and it came back very good. However, the home inspector found the plastic grate that covers the exterior Dryer Vents was completely clogged! You can see the picture, it’s kind of gross, but more importantly, hugely dangerous! Not only does this cause the dryer to take longer and use more energy to be able to dry your clothes, it’s a big fire hazard. The heat from the dryer can literally set your house on fire.

That being said, the home inspector highly recommends these plastic grates be completely taken off of your exterior dryer vent. He said it offers little to no protection from rodents or bugs. The flap that covers the hole when the dryer is off is much better and safer to use alone.

So BE SAFE, take it off, and most importantly, get a home inspection when you buy your new home! Don’t know a good inspector, fear not! We have several we recommend who are wonderful at their job and help ensure your safety.

Whether it’s checking dryer vents or finding trusted inspectors, we’re here to guide your safe home journey. Connect with us at Murphy NC Real Estate.
