Dual Fuel Heating Program: The Energy Cooperative has a program available for Licking Rural Electric members, which will enable you to heat your home more economically and receive a rebate. The dual fuel heating system consists of two separate sources of heat. The primary source is the electric heat pump and the secondary source is a gas or fuel oil furnace. When you install a dual fuel system, you may be eligible to receive a one time $599.00 rebate. Please contact The Energy Cooperative prior to installation for details regarding installation, inspection, and necessary forms. You may also visit our website at theenergycoop.com for more information or contact Ms. Billie Chapman at (800) 255-6815 ext. 1235 with questions.
May is National Electrical Safety Month: Look Up and Around You. Always be aware of the location of power lines, particularly when using long metal tools like ladders, pool skimmers and pruning poles, or when installing rooftop antennas and satellite dishes or doing roof repair work. Never go into an electric substation for any reason. Electric substations contain high-voltage equipment, which can kill you. Never rescue a pet that goes inside a substation. Call The Energy Cooperative for assistance. Make sure everyone who works on a farm knows the location of power lines and keeps farm equipment at least 10 feet away from them. This minimum 10 foot distance is a 360-degree rule: below, to the side and above lines.
Gas Leaks: Natural gas cannot be seen and normally doesn’t have an odor, but gas leaks may still be detected by one of the following indications on or near the pipeline right of way: A blowing or hissing sound, dust blowing from a hole in the ground, continuous bubbling in one spot in wet or flooded areas, dead vegetation, abnormally dry or hardened soil, a gaseous or hydrocarbon odor, fire apparently coming from the ground or burning above the ground.
If you suspect a gas leak: Shut down and abandon any equipment being used in or near the area, avoid open flame or other sources of ignition, do not start any motor vehicles or electrical equipment, evacuate and prevent unsuspecting people from entering. Call 1-800-255-6815 immediately so the leak can be verified and necessary corrective measures taken.
