A small cost for the peace of mind and comfort that iSocket gives you.

Remember, the cost of the damage from a power outage can be considerably more than the cost of a solution that will send you power outage notifications. And remember, power failure alerting is not the only feature iSocket offers you.

A pair of recent power outages has prompted the city electric department to expedite plans to upgrade equipment that has been in use since the 1960s on the south edge of Pratt, Kansas, replacing wire, wooden poles, insulators and conductors from the substation.

Electrical outages push upgrade

When the equipment was set in place in the 1960s, there was a much lower load on the line. But many homes have been built in the service area since then so that, plus the high usage during hot summer days, puts a strain on the equipment and stresses it to a point that it needs to be replaced.
