Company Background

Adams Rural Electric is a member-owned cooperative that has powered the rural communities of Adams County and the surrounding region since 1940. With over 1,300 miles of distribution lines, we serve approximately 7,500 member-owners across five counties. As a cooperative, we are governed by a board of trustees elected from our membership, ensuring local priorities and needs directly shape our operations. Our commitment to reliable service is supported by investments like our Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which helps us quickly identify and manage outages. Rooted in the legacy of the Rural Electrification Administration, we remain dedicated to the safety, stability, and modernization of the electrical infrastructure that supports our neighbors' homes and businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a residential electrical inspection from Adams Rural Electric involve?

Our residential electrical inspection is a thorough safety evaluation of your home's wiring and electrical systems. For our members in West Union and surrounding areas, our certified electricians check for code compliance, assess the condition of your service panel, and identify potential hazards like outdated wiring or overloaded circuits. This proactive service helps ensure the safety and reliability of your home's power, which is especially important in older rural homes where systems may need updating.

My lights in West Union flicker occasionally. Could this be a loose connection, and can you help?

Yes, flickering lights are a common sign of a loose electrical connection, a frequent issue in our service area due to factors like temperature swings in attics and older wiring. Loose connections are a fire hazard. During an inspection, we specifically check for this at outlets, switches, and within your main service panel. We can then securely tighten or replace the faulty components to restore a safe and stable electrical connection in your home.

As a member-owner, how does the cooperative structure benefit me for services like inspections?

Unlike a for-profit utility, Adams Rural Electric is owned by the members we serve. This means our primary goal is your safety and reliable service, not shareholder profit. Any margins are returned to members. For services like inspections, this translates to fair, transparent pricing and recommendations focused solely on what's necessary for the long-term safety and efficiency of your home's electrical system, as determined by our locally-elected board of trustees.
