Home Energy Guide

Whether you are building, remodeling, or improving the energy efficiency of your home, you want to make the most of the time and money you invest. The Home Energy Guide is provided by Southwest Electric and other Missouri electric cooperatives to help you make important energy related decisions. This guide offers suggestions on topics from heating and cooling systems to doors and windows. If you would like a copy of the Home Energy Guide mailed to you, please contact the Member Services Department at 1-800-262-0326 or click here to contact us by email.


 
Tree Trimming
Right-of-way maintenance is very important to Southwest Electric Cooperative. Right-of-way maintenance crews are contracted by Southwest to keep power lines clear of trees and brush. Many times a tree limb hitting an electric line can cause blinking lights in the homes of our members. If you see a tree touching an electric line or in danger of falling into the electric line, contact any of our offices or click here to contact us by email.
 
Fiber Optics
Southwest Electric is expanding its future outlook to some customers that are interested in fiber optics. There is a limited area at this time available for some schools and businesses to utilize fiber optic service. However, the expected future outlook of expansion into broader availability is on the horizon.  For more information regarding our fiber optic services, or to request specific information regarding area availability, please contact the Member Services Department at 1-800-262-0326 or click here to contact us by email.
 
Surge Protection
Surge protection outlets are also available to members of Southwest Electric Cooperative. For more information regarding our surge protection program, or to request specific literature, please contact the Member Services Department at 1-800-262-0326 or click here to contact us by email.
 
Automatic Dusk To Dawn Security Lights

Automatic Dusk to Dawn security lights are available for Southwest Electric Cooperative members.  The security lights must be installed on an existing Southwest Electric Cooperative utility pole. 

An installation fee of $20.00 must be paid before installation of the security light. 

Lights installed on a pole that is already being served by a transformer will cost $7.00 per month, per light.

If a separate transformer is needed just for the security light, a one time transformer fee of $100.00 is required and the monthly charge will be $10.00 per light.

The security lights will be furnished, installed and maintained by Southwest Electric Cooperative.  All maintenance will be performed during regular working hours on regular service routing.  The member is responsible for reporting any malfunction of the security light and no compensation will be made for days inoperative.
