Energy Efficiency Tips from Ted: Is Your Home Breathing Easy?

Did you know your house has lungs? If your home has a forced-air heating and cooling system, you could say its ductwork serves as the lungs of the house. Just as healthy lungs help the body function properly, a well-designed and properly installed duct system plays a major role in your home’s comfort, indoor air circulation and overall energy efficiency.

Everything we do revolves around you – our community. Pioneer brings the focus to our local communities and our neighbors. That is the cooperative difference.

Our power went out at 4:40am May 3rd. I called and reported. The crew was here within a half hour. Fixed a part on our transformer and electricity was restored quickly! We appreciated the two gentleman that asked permission first… to drive through our yard. It was a damp/ rainy morning. Our electric came on… they were pulling out … total time from our call in… about 90 minutes! Great Job! Thank you for your service and professionalism!

I personally have never had issues with Pioneer and have used them for 6 years. I’m actually thankful for them after hearing the horror stories about AES and how long it takes power to be restored and their prices. Anytime our electric goes out, it is restored quickly. I think the longest we’ve been without power is maybe 3 hours. The pricing has gone up a little over the years but nothing significant to complain about.

I would like to show our appreciation for keeping our power on, on a day when 'everyone else' didn't have power. Thank you!

I have always had faith in Pioneer over the past 40 years, but we just keep getting better.

I am very happy with the service. Outages are almost non-existent. If there is an outage, it usually only lasts a matter of minutes. That is very important during inclement weather.
