We’ve all heard the phrase, “We’re here to serve you,” countless times. These words may sound generic, but to us at your local electric cooperative, they mean everything.
K.C. Electric Association was created to serve our community. Back in the day, neighbors banded together and formed our co-op for the common good. In our case, it was the only way the community could bring electricity to the rural areas where there was none. In doing so, K.C. Electric helped the community thrive. That mission-focused heritage is the golden thread that is woven throughout our history.
Today, we continue to power the community. While our focus has remained steady on providing reliable energy to our members, today’s energy landscape and consumer expectations are far different than they were decades ago. That’s why we adapt to keep pace with changing technology, evolving needs, and new expectations.
Serving as your trusted energy advisor means we want to help you save energy and money, and provide advice and information on a broad range of energy topics. For example, if you’re looking for ways to save energy, visit us online at kcelectric.coop for energy-saving tips and ideas to increase the energy efficiency of your home or business. Consider calling our member services team to identify ways you can save energy at your home or business. Understanding how your home or business uses energy can help determine the best ways to modify energy use and thereby keep more money in your wallet.
If you’re considering a rooftop solar installation, we are happy to give you an unbiased view of the pros and cons. Investing in a solar power system is a major decision. It is important to fully understand the costs, responsibilities, and potential energy savings. Unlike a solar company that has one objective — to sell their products and services — we will look at the total energy picture and help you determine the best options for your home. We urge you to perform your due diligence and we’re here to help you through that process.
In a similar vein, we recognize that many members are considering electric vehicle options. K.C. Electric can provide information about EV charging and electrical requirements so you can make informed decisions about EVs. We can provide a candid assessment of residential and business charging requirements for all types of EVs.
K.C. Electric offers generous rebates on a wide range of outdoor power equipment such as electric lawn and riding mowers, electric snow blowers, chainsaws, trimmers, leaf blowers, and more.
So, the next time you hear us at K.C. Electric say “We’re here to serve you,” we hope you know that we mean it. Service is deeply ingrained in who we are. As we evolve with the changing times, we’ll continue to develop additional ways to serve you and provide more options to help power your life.
David Churchwell is the General Manager of K.C. Electric Association. KC Electric’s mission is to provide our members with safe, reliable service at the lowest cost, while maintaining an environmentally responsible, accountable, and sustainable operation now and in the future.
