Atchison-Holt Electric Cooperative

EXTREME WEATHER ALERT FROM YOUR COOPERATIVE: Due to extreme and extended cold temperatures, our cooperative system and many utilities throughout the region continue to exceed all-time electricity demand. We are urging members to reduce their impact on the grid by reducing electricity use as much as possible. High power consumption levels across the grid have the potential to cause intermittent service disruptions. Taking steps to decrease your power usage at this time will he...lp while we navigate this extreme weather event. Tips to help reduce power usage: Extreme temperatures and the longer run times on HVAC units will mean higher utility bills. Turn down your thermostat a few degrees and use a blanket or warm clothing to help conserve and stay warm. Limit the use of larger appliances such as laundry or dishwashers. Use smaller kitchen appliances like toaster ovens, microwaves and slow cookers to make meals, rather than relying on your range or oven. Be sure to turn off and unplug space heaters that you don't need to use. Be mindful of the amount of time you utilize a space heater and reduce, if possible. Keep fireplace dampers closed when not in use. Unplug/turn off unused electronics, chargers, and lights. Again, we appreciate your current and future efforts to serve members as we all manage through this historic week. See more

Our phones are not working this morning. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Attention Members in Flooded Areas: Services that were flooded and left on or we could not disconnect when the flood hit will be disconnected when we can physically drive to the service. This will allow members time to clean up and/or rebuild their service. Once your service has been cleared by an electrician, it is required you fill out the attached Flood Release Form. This form can also be found at www.ahec.coop. This is a safety precaution for all cooperative members and the general public. Flood damaged equipment is NOT safe and should be replaced. Previously, there were a few cases where the flood release form was signed, and no work had been completed after the service had been flooded. There is a $150 Trip Charge for these cases.
