Ever wonder how much energy your appliances use? An electric clothes dryer requires a lot of power to run. This one requires 5,000 watts to operate – or 5 kilowatts. Shifting your drying time can make a big difference on your bill during peak times in the summer.

Big thanks to Girard linemen Adam Koons and Lewis Merrell for making it possible for Heartland to participate in GirardPublicLibrary's Ag Day event for the third year in a row. The pair manned the high-voltage safety demo trailer we share with 4 Rivers Electric Cooperative, Inc.

April showers bring… potential electrical hazards. Never use electrical appliances near water. If you see a downed power line, stay away and report it immediately!

Let’s talk energy! Energy tells us how much electricity was used over time, and it’s measured in kilowatt-hours. Power (kW) x Time (in hours) = Energy (kWh).

Get ready for summer! Starting in June, the Peak Charge will be in effect. This charge encourages members to conserve during peak times when wholesale electricity costs are highest.

⚡ Learn to manually open your powered garage door during a power outage. Look for the emergency release cord and review your owner’s manual for instructions. Teach other drivers and older kids in your family how in case of emergencies. #PowerOutage #SafeElectricity

🚸 School’s back! Slow down in school zones, neighborhoods — and on gravel roads where buses stop and dust can hide kids. Let’s keep them safe! 🚍

🔥Planning a fall bonfire? Keep them away from overhead power lines, poles and utility equipment. Sparks can travel farther than you think! #SafeElectricity

It’s National Pumpkin Day! We don’t power the pumpkins (that’s all sunshine and soil), but we’re proud to power the farms, families, and porches where they grow, glow, and make fall feel like home. 🍂
