Trees are the major cause of power outages and interruptions. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent every year cutting and trimming trees that threaten electric service.

When a tree is carefully selected and placed, it can provide your family with many years of enjoyment without threatening your electric service. It can also help you conserve energy by providing shade in the summer and wind protection in the winter.
