We trim trees, branches and other obstructions that interfere with the operations or maintenance of primary electric lines or equipment.  Primary electric lines are those that run from pole to pole.

Who will trim trees?

IFP now contracts with a professional tree service company to trim trees around primary lines year-round.  Doing this has drastically reduced the number of tree-related outages.  The present contract is with Davey Tree Service.

What is the customer responsible for?

The customer or building owner is responsible for clearing the power lines that run from the transformer to the home or building (called secondary lines).  IFP will disconnect and reconnect these lines at no charge while any trimming work is being done.
