The electricity used in your home does not stop unless you turn the main breaker off or request to have the meter physically disconnected by KEC. If neither of these measures is taken, refrigerators, freezers, furnaces, baseboards, and water heaters continue to operate.

In order to prevent your electric service from being unnecessarily disconnected during an extended absence, contact our member service department before you leave to make payment arrangements. We will help you figure out how much you would need to pre-pay on your account or we will get your authorization to charge a MasterCard or Visa on a monthly basis. It is also a good idea to leave a number with KEC where you can be located in case of an emergency.
