What are the hours and when should I call?

This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 171 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Kentucky Utilities Co call center opens before trying to call.

An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call

When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
