Why Electric Co-ops Replace Utility Poles

By Abby Berry

Y

ou probably don’t pay much attention to the utility poles found throughout WFEC’s service territory, but did you know these tall structures are the backbone of our distribution network?

Strong, sturdy utility poles ensure a reliable electric system, which is why we routinely inspect the thousands of poles found on our lines. Throughout the year, our crews and sometimes, contractors, check poles for decay caused by exposure to the elements. They know which poles are oldest and conduct inspections through a rotational process. Typically, a standard wooden distribution pole is expected to last more than 50 years.

Occasionally, poles need to be replaced for other reasons besides decay and old age. Weather disasters, power line relocation and car crashes are potential causes for immediate replacement. 65317002 Here is a quick breakdown of how crews replace a utility pole: When a pole needs to be replaced, crews will start the process by digging a hole, typically next to the pole being replaced. The depth of the hole must be 15 percent of the new pole’s height. Next, the new pole must be fitted with bolts, cross arms, insulators, ground wires and arm braces – all of the necessary parts for delivering safe and reliable electricity. Then, crews safely detach the power lines from the old pole. The new pole is then raised and guided carefully into position, and the lines are attached, leaving the new pole to do its job.

So, the next time you come across a WFEC crew replacing a pole, use caution and know that this process ensures a more reliable electric system for you, our members.

Is your unit too big?

Why is an oversized system problematic for the average homeowner?

Heating and cooling account for more than half of the energy used in a typical U.S. home. So, if your HVAC unit is too big, it means that it may be “short cycling,” or constantly turning off and on. When the unit runs in short bursts, it will not run long enough to eliminate all of the humidity in your home. If you are in a warmer climate and rely on air conditioning mode, like us, it could mean a short-cycling system leaves more moisture in the air, making your home feel sticky and warm. This can also lead to the growth of mold and mildew. Heating and cooling in short bursts results in uneven temperatures and hot or cold spots in your home. Lastly, the unit’s parts wear down prematurely.

We are Kubota.

To size right, choose an energy professional So, how can you ensure that you get the right size HVAC system for your home? There are several factors to consider, but it all starts with choosing an energy expert. WFEC or a licensed HVAC contractor can help you determine the correct size by conducting a Manual-J load calculation.

Together, we can find the HVAC system that’s a perfect fit for your home.

WFEC also offers a Heat Pump Rebate program for the purchase of qualifying HVAC systems. For more information about rebates, contact the Energy Services Department by calling 800.342.7400.

When the “rule of thumb” doesn’t work

W

hen it comes to your home’s HVAC system, are you suffering from the Goldilocks Syndrome? Perhaps your system is too big or too small – or maybe it’s just right. A Department of Energy study shows that most HVAC systems don’t run as efficiently as they could because they are not installed correctly or they are the wrong size. This translates to not having the comfort level you are seeking and over-paying on your utility bills – all the more reason to determine the right size system for your home. 31240001 “Over-sizing is common in commercial as well as residential applications because contractors use the rule-of-thumb sizing – a load calculation based on square footage,” said Terry Townsend, President of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

Unfortunately, this type of simple calculation is outdated, which could cost you money.

When the “rule of thumb” doesn’t work

W

hen it comes to your home’s HVAC system, are you suffering from the Goldilocks Syndrome? Perhaps your system is too big or too small – or maybe it’s just right. A Department of Energy study shows that most HVAC systems don’t run as efficiently as they could because they are not installed correctly or they are the wrong size. This translates to not having the comfort level you are seeking and over-paying on your utility bills – all the more reason to determine the right size system for your home. 31240001 “Over-sizing is common in commercial as well as residential applications because contractors use the rule-of-thumb sizing – a load calculation based on square footage,” said Terry Townsend, President of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

Unfortunately, this type of simple calculation is outdated, which could cost you money.

Is your unit too big?

Why is an oversized system problematic for the average homeowner?

Heating and cooling account for more than half of the energy used in a typical U.S. home. So, if your HVAC unit is too big, it means that it may be “short cycling,” or constantly turning off and on. When the unit runs in short bursts, it will not run long enough to eliminate all of the humidity in your home. If you are in a warmer climate and rely on air conditioning mode, like us, it could mean a short-cycling system leaves more moisture in the air, making your home feel sticky and warm. This can also lead to the growth of mold and mildew. Heating and cooling in short bursts results in uneven temperatures and hot or cold spots in your home. Lastly, the unit’s parts wear down prematurely.

To size right, choose an energy professional So, how can you ensure that you get the right size HVAC system for your home? There are several factors to consider, but it all starts with choosing an energy expert. WFEC or a licensed HVAC contractor can help you determine the correct size by conducting a Manual-J load calculation.

Together, we can find the HVAC system that’s a perfect fit for your home.

WFEC also offers a Heat Pump Rebate program for the purchase of qualifying HVAC systems. For more information about rebates, contact the Energy Services Department by calling 800.342.7400.

Why Electric Co-ops Replace Utility Poles

By Abby Berry

Y

ou probably don’t pay much attention to the utility poles found throughout WFEC’s service territory, but did you know these tall structures are the backbone of our distribution network?

Strong, sturdy utility poles ensure a reliable electric system, which is why we routinely inspect the thousands of poles found on our lines. Throughout the year, our crews and sometimes, contractors, check poles for decay caused by exposure to the elements. They know which poles are oldest and conduct inspections through a rotational process. Typically, a standard wooden distribution pole is expected to last more than 50 years.

Occasionally, poles need to be replaced for other reasons besides decay and old age. Weather disasters, power line relocation and car crashes are potential causes for immediate replacement. 65317002 Here is a quick breakdown of how crews replace a utility pole: When a pole needs to be replaced, crews will start the process by digging a hole, typically next to the pole being replaced. The depth of the hole must be 15 percent of the new pole’s height. Next, the new pole must be fitted with bolts, cross arms, insulators, ground wires and arm braces – all of the necessary parts for delivering safe and reliable electricity. Then, crews safely detach the power lines from the old pole. The new pole is then raised and guided carefully into position, and the lines are attached, leaving the new pole to do its job.

So, the next time you come across a WFEC crew replacing a pole, use caution and know that this process ensures a more reliable electric system for you, our members.
