Ways to Save

Winter temperatures increase usage – even when you don’t touch the thermostat. To stay cozy and save energy, try these tips:

• Wherever you set your thermostat, lowering it 2-4° can help you use up to 10-20% less energy. ¹
• Rotate your ceiling fans clockwise to circulate warm air around the room and keep you cozy. Look for a directional switch on the fan’s base.

Easily keep track of your usage and budget with the help of our app and your weekly snapshot email.

Try these easy hacks to keep your home heating efficiently all winter long:

• Replace your air filters often, especially if you have pets.
• Check windows and doors for possible leaks.
• Closing your shades and curtains at night keeps up to 10% more warm air inside.² During the day, keep them open to let in warm sunlight.
