Special Services

A number of special services are offered to GVEA members and most of them are free for the asking! Simply call or write for details.

Free Removal of Danger Trees

Any tree that is growing into a power line or at risk of falling into a power line is a danger tree. If you have a danger tree on your property, please call GVEA's Operations Department at 452-1151. If the tree is found to be hazardous, GVEA will be happy to remove it at no cost. Under no circumstances should you attempt to trim or remove danger trees yourself - the result could be damage to the Co-op's facilities or serious injury or death.

For more information, call 452-1151 or contact us.

Underground Cable Locate

Certain areas on GVEA's system use underground electrical lines. Members installing fence posts or burying fuel tanks may be in for a serious shock. Avoid the risk of electrocution; if you are planning any excavation, call GVEA's Operations Department at 452-1151. Give us 24 hours notice, and we will locate buried primary lines for you at no charge.

For more information, call 452-1151 or contact us.

Energy Efficiency Programs

GVEA has three specifically-designed programs to meet the energy conservation needs of our members. Home is an in-home audit program where you will receive energy efficient products installed on the spot! Builder offers rebates for "building in" energy efficiency while constructing your new home. Business offers rebates to our commercial customers for replacing their lighting systems with energy efficient lighting. In addition, GVEA can provide information and materials addressing the efficient use of energy. For more information, contact our Member Services Department at 452-1151 or contact us.

Electrical Safety Demonstrations

GVEA always promotes electrical safety among our members and in the community. An electrical safety demonstration using a 15,000-volt model of an outdoor setting, complete with distribution lines, model truck, house and playing children, is available and may be scheduled through the Member Services Department by calling 452-1151 or contact us.

Power Theft Hot Line

Meter tampering and power theft cost everyone in our Co-op through higher rates. If you know or suspect that someone is stealing power, call our Revenue Protection Supervisor at 452-1151 or contact us. If you would like to leave an anonymous tip, please call us at 452-1151.

Service Entrance Inspections

The service entrance equipment, including the masthead, belongs to you. GVEA simply installs the meter into your equipment. We will be happy to perform a safety inspection of your equipment at no charge. Call 452-1151, and ask for the Revenue Protection Supervisor.
