      Major energy-consuming appliances include refrigerators, freezers, ranges and ovens, air conditioners, clothes dryers, washing machines, furnaces, and dishwashers. Smaller energy users include clocks, irons, toasters, and a whole range of kitchen and bathroom aids. Below is a breakdown of the most common appliances and their estimated energy requirement.

      Comfort Conditioning
      Central System, 2 ton1450 kWh

      Notes:

      • The central system for comfort conditioning assumes the compressor is continuously thermostat-controlled and operates 55% of the time during the hottest months. (EER-energy efficient ratio)
      • The kWh usage shown is for the constant operation of the compressor for 1 hour. When the unit is operated full-time on a daily basis, subject to thermostat control, the compressor may cycle off up to 40%, and the hourly average cost would be lower.
      • Each dishwasher load uses about 2.5 kWh for hot water. Each washing machine load uses about 5 kWh for a hot wash per hot rinse cycle and about 1 kWh for a warm wash or cold rinse cycle.
      • Energy consumption is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh), the units of energy that flow through your electric meter.
      Tree Trimming Policy

      It is the intent and goal of Cherokee County Electric Cooperative Association to perform right-of-way tree trimming maintenance on the entire distribution system on a 5-year continuous cycle. Herbicide application is used as part of the maintenance of the right-of-way (ROW), as needed on selected areas determined by management. Policies and common practices dealing with routine right-of-way maintenance are summarized below.

      The standard width for distribution right-of-way is 30 feet (15 feet on either side of the centerline) for overhead line and 10 feet for underground. The same widths apply for service wire; however, maintenance of service right-of-ways remains the responsibility of the member/land owner. The Cooperative will disconnect and remove the line when requested and needed (as determined by the Cooperative) in order for the member or his representative to cut and/or trim the service right-of-way.

      Clean-up of debris associated with tree trimming will be handled and determined as required on a case-by-case basis. The general practice is to clean up areas such as yards, pastures, and right-of-way that are being mowed and maintained by the property owner. Wooded areas, underbrush, and areas not being maintained by the owner will be left to decompose. Along fence rows, limbs too large to mow over will be stacked along the fence.

      For questions regarding ROW, please contact Scott Creech at (903) 683-2248 extension 3088 or email Scott Creech.
