Warns Against Products Claiming Big “Energy Efficiency”
Savings
Buyer Beware! On the market today are a number of products promising
huge savings on energy bills. Remember the old adage, “If it sounds too
good to be true, it probably is.”

to an Electric Heat Pump

Maintenance or Mayhem:
Good Rights-of-Way Can Prevent Outages
There is no way to keep Mother Nature from doing as she pleases, as proven by
the ice storm that paralyzed a large portion of Kentucky in January and
February. However, South Kentucky RECC can work now to minimize the effects of
another ice storm, a thunderstorm, a tornado, or even high winds.
Concerned about Energy
Costs?
Most people are. As a not-for-profit distributor of electricity to more than
65,000 homes and businesses in south central Kentucky, South Kentucky RECC
shares those concerns. Our mission is to provide a comfortable living and
working environment for our members at the most affordable cost. But we’re
finding it to be one of the most challenging years we’ve faced since our
cooperative was formed in 1938.
Be Prepared For Ice
Storms
Some areas of the country have already felt the blasts of winter wind,
precipitation and fluctuating temperatures that can result in severe freezing
rain, sleet and ice storms. A heavy build-up of ice on power lines can cause
wires to snap and utility poles to topple. Falling ice-laden trees or limbs can
bring down power lines, cause outages, and threaten life and property.
When Winter Winds
Blow
If forecasts are to be believed, then the winter of 2009 may be one of the
coldest that the South Kentucky RECC area has suffered in several years. What
can the homeowners of South Kentucky RECC do to save energy this winter?
Making Service
Simple
South Kentucky RECC’s members expect professional and prompt service, and
they want to do business at their convenience. In an effort to be able to
assist members right at the moment they need it, we are installing a new
state-of-the-art system specifically for this purpose.
Helping Our
Communities Grow
When you think of an electric cooperative, you don’t necessarily think of
community growth, unless you are speaking of poles and wires to a new
subdivision. However, several years ago, SKRECC leaders decided the time had
come for the co-op to take a more proactive approach in an effort to help each
of its communities grow.
