Kenergy’s Commitment to Zero Contacts
Safety culture takes a team. That’s why Kenergy has made the commitment to zero contacts along with our electrical cooperative friends across the nation. We are committed to eliminating serious injuries and fatalities due to electrical contact and continuing to keep safety our top priority.
A ‘commitment to zero contacts’ sticker was added above each door handle as one more reminder to our employees to be safe. Our members, coworkers, and families depend on it.
Air Conditioner and Fan Safety
With heat and humidity often overwhelming during Kentucky summers, air conditioners and fans are essential for staying cool and comfortable. Even though air conditioners are everyday appliances, it’s important to be aware of their potential hazards. Contact with electric current from air conditioners and fans causes a high number of electrocutions and injuries each year.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2010, air conditioners, fans and other related equipment caused 7,400 reported home fires with $207 million in direct property damage. Accidents in June, July and August accounted for nearly half of all air conditioner fires throughout the year.
When relying on air conditioners and fans to keep you cool, make sure you follow these five electrical safety tips:
- Select and install cooling equipment for safety and effectiveness.
- Hire a qualified, licensed electrician to install and service all electrical equipment in your home.
- Follow manufacturer’s instructions for all electric-powered equipment.
- Inspect and maintain equipment regularly for safety.
- Make sure equipment has label showing it has been approved by a recognized testing laboratory.
When checking the safety of your fans, ensure the guards are in place and secure. Fans less than 7 feet off the ground must have guards around them to stop people from touching the blades. And just like with other electrical appliances, check if the plugs and cord are in good condition. All electrical prongs should be in place, and the cord shouldn’t be frayed.
In addition to following these electrical safety tips, don’t forget to change your air conditioner’s filter and have a professional clean the air ducts to protect your family’s health. Mold can grow in the indoor section of an air conditioner and can cause respiratory problems if not cleaned properly.
If you have a window air conditioner in each room of your home, consider upgrading to a ductless mini-split system or a central air conditioner or installing new security measures. Window units and their accordion-like wings that block outside air can be pushed into the home, allowing intruders to enter. By installing an air conditioner bracket to the outside of the window unit or by adding sliding window locks to each side of the frame, your window air conditioner will be harder to move out of place. Ductless mini-split systems have a 3-inch hole connecting the outside and inside units’ refrigerant lines, leaving your windows locked and making it harder for unwanted guests to enter.
Phone Surveys Being Conducted in May
Please be aware that Kenergy will be utilizing Touchstone Energy Services to conduct member surveys. Calls will be placed from now until the end of May. These calls will be coming from 919 area codes and the call-takers will identify themselves as Data Decisions Group on behalf of Kenergy. No calls will be made on Sundays and calls during the week will end by 8:30pm. Your feedback on these surveys will help us continue to improve the services we provide you, our members.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Rationis enim perfectio est virtus; Stoici scilicet. Primum Theophrasti, Strato, physicum se voluit; Hoc etsi multimodis reprehendi potest, tamen accipio, quod dant. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Illi enim inter se dissentiunt. Roges enim Aristonem, bonane ei videantur haec: vacuitas doloris, divitiae, valitudo; Cur tantas regiones barbarorum pedibus obiit, tot maria transmisit?
Sunt autem, qui dicant foedus esse quoddam sapientium, ut ne minus amicos quam se ipsos diligant. Sed ille, ut dixi, vitiose. Est enim effectrix multarum et magnarum voluptatum. Etiam beatissimum? Esse enim, nisi eris, non potes. Quid, de quo nulla dissensio est?
Si alia sentit, inquam, alia loquitur, numquam intellegam quid sentiat; De hominibus dici non necesse est. Quae tamen a te agetur non melior, quam illae sunt, quas interdum optines.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Superiores tres erant, quae esse possent, quarum est una sola defensa, eaque vehementer. Quid ergo attinet dicere: Nihil haberem, quod reprehenderem, si finitas cupiditates haberent? Consequatur summas voluptates non modo parvo, sed per me nihilo, si potest; Multa sunt dicta ab antiquis de contemnendis ac despiciendis rebus humanis; Huius ego nunc auctoritatem sequens idem faciam. Duo Reges: constructio interrete.
Itaque sensibus rationem adiunxit et ratione effecta sensus non reliquit. Etsi qui potest intellegi aut cogitari esse aliquod animal, quod se oderit? Verba tu fingas et ea dicas, quae non sentias? Numquam facies.
Piso, familiaris noster, et alia multa et hoc loco Stoicos irridebat: Quid enim? Nec vero alia sunt quaerenda contra Carneadeam illam sententiam. Quis enim potest ea, quae probabilia videantur ei, non probare? Est enim effectrix multarum et magnarum voluptatum. Dicet pro me ipsa virtus nec dubitabit isti vestro beato M. Ceum audissem Antiochum, Brute, ut solebam, ceum M. Satisne vobis videor pro meo iure in vestris auribus commentatus? Laelius clamores sofòw ille so lebat Edere compellans gumias ex ordine nostros.
Audeo dicere, inquit. Age, inquies, ista parva sunt. Graecis hoc modicum est: Leonidas, Epaminondas, tres aliqui aut quattuor; Rationis enim perfectio est virtus; Nam illud vehementer repugnat, eundem beatum esse et multis malis oppressum. Deinde disputat, quod cuiusque generis animantium statui deceat extremum.
An hoc usque quaque, aliter in vita? Utilitatis causa amicitia est quaesita. Themistocles quidem, ceum ei Simonides an quis alius artem memoriae polliceretur, Oblivionis, inquit, mallem. Nam, ut sint illa vendibiliora, haec uberiora certe sunt. Nonne videmus quanta perturbatio rerum omnium consequatur, quanta confusio? O magnam vim ingenii causamque iustam, cur nova existeret disciplina! Perge porro.
Quia dolori non voluptas contraria est, sed doloris privatio. Scio enim esse quosdam, qui quavis lingua philosophari possint; Cui Tubuli nomen odio non est? Indicant pueri, in quibus ut in speculis natura cernitur. Quid igitur, inquit, eos responsuros putas? Nam si beatus umquam fuisset, beatam vitam usque ad illum a Cyro extructum rogum pertulisset. Omnia peccata paria dicitis.
Eum id quoque, ut cupiebat, audivisset, evelli iussit eam, qua erat transfixus, hastam. At eum de plurimis eadem dicit, tum certe de maximis. Nunc omni virtuti vitium contrario nomine opponitur. Quid igitur, inquit, eos responsuros putas? Deinde disputat, quod cuiusque generis animantium statui deceat extremum. Sic enim censent, oportunitatis esse beate vivere. Atque haec coniunctio confusioque virtutum tamen a philosophis ratione quadam distinguitur. Quam si explicavisset, non tam haesitaret.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In qua quid est boni praeter summam voluptatem, et eam sempiternam? Eaedem enim utilitates poterunt eas labefactare atque pervertere. Quaesita enim virtus est, non quae relinqueret naturam, sed quae tueretur. Nam si beatus umquam fuisset, beatam vitam usque ad illum a Cyro extructum rogum pertulisset. Sed quot homines, tot sententiae; Duo Reges: constructio interrete.
Quid de Platone aut de Democrito loquar? Vestri haec verecundius, illi fortasse constantius. Parvi enim primo ortu sic iacent, tamquam omnino sine animo sint. Sed in rebus apertissimis nimium longi sumus.
A quibus propter discendi cupiditatem videmus ultimas terras esse peragratas. Cuius similitudine perspecta in formarum specie ac dignitate transitum est ad honestatem dictorum atque factorum. Quod vestri non item. Mihi enim satis est, ipsis non satis. Immo vero, inquit, ad beatissime vivendum parum est, ad beate vero satis. Sapientem locupletat ipsa natura, cuius divitias Epicurus parabiles esse docuit. Nam bonum ex quo appellatum sit, nescio, praepositum ex eo credo, quod praeponatur aliis. Ergo id est convenienter naturae vivere, a natura discedere.
Id quaeris, inquam, in quo, utrum respondero, verses te huc atque illuc necesse est. Nos paucis ad haec additis finem faciamus aliquando; Atqui reperies, inquit, in hoc quidem pertinacem; At Zeno eum non beatum modo, sed etiam divitem dicere ausus est. Sed venio ad inconstantiae crimen, ne saepius dicas me aberrare; Sed in rebus apertissimis nimium longi sumus. Duae sunt enim res quoque, ne tu verba solum putes. Consequatur summas voluptates non modo parvo, sed per me nihilo, si potest;
Sunt enim prima elementa naturae, quibus auctis vírtutis quasi germen efficitur. Qua ex cognitione facilior facta est investigatio rerum occultissimarum.
Itaque his sapiens semper vacabit
Dicimus aliquem hilare vivere; Quid de Platone aut de Democrito loquar? Qui potest igitur habitare in beata vita summi mali metus? Ita enim vivunt quidam, ut eorum vita refellatur oratio. Nunc omni virtuti vitium contrario nomine opponitur.
