Winter electric bills may be higher than in recent years. We can help.
Winter is here. That means cold winds, snowy landscapes, and higher electric bills...especially if you have electric heat or you’re spending even more time indoors.
This year, the seasonal upward pressure on electric bills is made worse by the rising cost of natural gas and other electricity supply sources.
- Seal hidden leaks. Heat can escape through small spaces around your windows, doors, or skylights. Check your window and door trim for leaks and seal them up to save.
- Check your HVAC. Have your heating system inspected at least once a year and check your air filters monthly. This will extend the life of your system and save you money.
- Let the light in. Keep your blinds and curtains open during the day so the natural heat of the sun can work in your favor.

Stay warm, and stay safe
February is prime season for space heaters. While space heaters can keep you comfortable, they can also be dangerous.
When you're using an electric space heater to warm up your home, office, or business, follow these tips to stay safe:
- Only buy newer models with current safety features.
- Make sure the product has an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) label.
- Position the heater on a level surface away from foot traffic.
- Always keep children and pets away from space heaters.
- Plug all electric space heaters directly into wall outlets.
- Avoid using extension cords with space heaters. If you need to use an extension cord, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Buy a space heater with a tip-over safety switch.
