Ways to Save

On a hot day, A/Cs can use up to 10 times as much electricity as all the lights in your home.¹

• Raising your thermostat 2° can help reduce your usage by up to 10%. Try turning it up when you leave home to save even more.²
• Rotate your ceiling fans counter-clockwise to circulate cool air around the room.
• Try a programmable or smart thermostat and set it to automatically adjust when you’re asleep or away so your A/C runs less often.

• Weekly Snapshot emails update you about your usage and bill every Tuesday, so you can adjust and save. Turn on Weekly Snapshot.
• Budget alerts help you stay on track via text and let you know when you use more energy than planned. Turn on alerts.
• Our app makes it easy to keep tabs on your usage and how the weather can affect it, view your predicted bill, set helpful alerts, and more.

• Cleaning or replacing air filters can save you up to 15% on annual energy costs, especially if you have pets.³
• Water heating accounts for 18% of the energy consumed in your home.³ Try lowering it to 120° or turning it off when you go on vacation to save.
• Using a slow cooker or an Instant Pot are great alternatives to the oven or stove and keep the kitchen cool on hot days.

• During excessive heat days, stay safe by staying hydrated, avoiding direct sunlight for long, and finding nearby cooling centers through local government resources or community services: City of Houston, City of Dallas, Tarrant County.
